Ansel Easton Adams (1902-1984) was an American landscape photographer and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West, particularly Yosemite National Park. With his first photographs published in 1921, Adams quickly made a name for himself in favoring sharp focus and the use of the full tonal photographic range. He was later contracted by the United States Department of the Interior to make photographs of national parks. Indeed, Adams' photographic methods and technical understanding would make him one of the most influential and recognizable photographers of the 20th century.
