Ansel Adams: The Man and His Photography
Description
Join us for a personal and in-depth look into America’s most celebrated photographer and environmentalist, Ansel Adams, a man who was quite literally the most influential and beloved photographer and conservationist of the 20th century, becoming a national institution through his stunning iconic images of the great American wilderness. The popularity of Ansel’s work has only continued to increase well after his death in 1984.
In this presentation Christopher Dant will tell you about the man, his legacy, and his photographs with a beautiful slideshow of Adams’ most legendary photographs and how they were created. Dant studied with Adams in Carmel, California in the early 1980s, and will recount some of his experiences with Adams.
