Ansel Adams Photographs of National Parks and Monuments, 1941 – 1942

Ansel Adams, a name synonymous with landscape photography, captured the grandeur of the American West with unparalleled clarity and depth. His iconic black and white images of Yosemite, Sequoia, and other national parks are revered for their technical mastery and poetic vision. A pioneer in photographic techniques, Adams developed the Zone System, a groundbreaking approach to exposure and development. Beyond artistry, he was a passionate environmentalist, using his work to inspire conservation efforts.

Ansel Adams was employed on a salary by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1941 to photograph national parks and other locations for a period of 180 days. This was a significant period in his career, contributing to the vast collection of iconic landscape photographs attributed to him. These images stem from that project.
