No one has visually captured the rugged beauty of North American like Ansel Adams. In "Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs," the reader takes both a chronological and comprehensive journey through the life's work of this American visionary. Many places of natural beauty were photographed repeatedly by Adams over six decades, from childhood photos of Half Dome in 1916 to classic Ansel Adams icons, like "Moon and Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, California, 1960." Adams was a technical giant, as well a...more
The photographs are arranged chronologically into five major periods, from his first photographs made in Yosemite and the High Sierra in 1916 to his work in the National Parks in the 1940s up to his last important photographs from the 1960s.
I have always loved Ansel Adams's photographs, especially the ones of places I have actually seen. This collection brings me a lot of happy memories and peaceful feelings.
Ansel Adams' work is always amazing! I love to study his photographs and this book gives me ample opportunity to do so.
I loved it, I am working on some photography projects and just needed to look at some samples from the master
This is my favorite Adams book, thought it was time to revisit it. The photo quality is really good and it spans so much.
A true master of black and white in a time before photoshop and high tech photography.

Loved this!
Amazing book:)
This book is absolutely gorgeous! I must have it! If you enjoy black & white photography this collection of Ansel Adams' is fabulous.
This is an awesome book - and not one you can read in one session, as there are so many images included and it's easy to become overloaded. The book is divided into sections corresponding to different decades of his life, and it's interesting to see the progression of his art.
A remarkable collection of stunning photographs by Ansel Adams, encompassing his life from his youth to his latest years. The print quality of this books is pretty good, and the additional notes at the end provide an interesting insight in the mind of this great photographer.
Some truly stunning photos in here, some excellent, some very good, and some of his early ones (at 18, we'll cut him some slack on those!). Seriously worth it for anyone who likes photography, black and white, and landscapes.
A stunning and inspirational collection of Adams' photographs, that span his career. The natural beauty of the subjects is mirrored by the flawless photography, and the quality of presentation in the book is excellent.
Some of these pictures are truly perfect. The scenery is beautiful. Ansel Adams was a very talented photographer especially after learning he developed all of his own pictures.
This is such a gorgeous collection of some of the most beautiful landscape photographs. I love the work of Ansel Adams and this is a perfect testament to his talent.
What amazing pictures! They make me feel like I am there. Liked the notes on selected photographs at the back, and the glimpse of Ansel Adams the person in the afterword.
beautiful, gorgeous and great techniques of b& w.
Beautiful photographs!!

Though wilderness and the environment were his grand passions, photography was his calling, his metier, his raison d'etre.
