Photographer Ansel Adams stands with a large format camera on a tripod while photographing the Big Sur Coast near Carmel, California. Weston, an iconic photographer in his own right, as well as Adams’ friend and contemporary, once called Adams’ style “ seeing plus.” Quite the contrary.Īdams was - according to Mary Alinder, the photographer’s assistant and close friend, as well as co-author of the photographer’s autobiography - busy fulfilling his other roles: those of activist, naturalist, archivist, teacher and even entertainer.Īdams’ camera shutters remained mostly closed during his time living in Carmel Highlands for an artistic reason as well, Alinder said. Why? It’s not because America’s most iconic and influential landscape photographer was taking it easy or buried in a solitary late-career slump.
