Making a Photographer: The Early Work of Ansel Adams, Yale University Press, 2020
On Wednesday, October 21 at 2:00pm Pacific time we host a public talk with Rebecca Senf, author of Making a Photographer: The Early Work of Ansel Adams.
During this free public talk drawn from her new book about Ansel Adams's early years, Senf recounts the importance of Ansel’s commercial work for the Yosemite Park and Curry Company that spanned from the late 1920s to the late 1930s. His experience reporting to the company's marketing department forever changed his photographic style and was used to great impact in his future art photographs.
