Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West and primarily Yosemite National Park.
For his images, he developed the zone system of photography, a way to calculate the proper exposure of a photograph. The resulting clarity and depth were characteristic of his photographs. His crystal clear images were also the result of his using the large format 8×10” film camera, which provided a maximum resolution, although it was among the most difficult cameras to use due to its large size, weight, set-up time, and film cost. However, it was typical of the lengths he would go to achieve his vision of perfection.
He founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, which was responsible for the founding of the Museum of Modern Art's department of photography. Adams' timeless and visually stunning photographs are constantly reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books, making his photographs widely recognizable. And as a result, his images are among the most significant and familiar contributions to the history of photography.
20141209yl亚当斯从小到老的一生，简介式纪录片，对于其作品的分析很少，太多的恭维，亚当斯作为早期风光大师，其地位无可撼动，但过多的赞誉，并且很多都并非围绕作品本身，有点事后诸葛之嫌。难得的是，亚当斯为环保事业也做出了不少贡献。月出那幅经典作品的创作过程，应该更多点笔墨的。
“艺术即是爱与友谊，也是理解。它是一种给予的渴望，它并非慈善，只有捐赠施与，它高于仁慈因为它奉献的是自身。它包含了对美的索取与给予，它让内在的精神意识得见天日。它是真实的世界在另一个平面上的重现，地球与人类可悲又精彩的真实，以及他们之间千丝万缕的联系。”
很全面的介绍了亚当斯的生平事迹，也展开叙述了一些他的作品。可惜作为纪录片来说，太过于平铺直叙，让人想犯困。风光摄影的传奇人物，或者说是鼻祖吧，当真是风光摄影界的毕加索。仰慕！
讲的更多的是思考，而非实操。人的渺小，镜头的渺小，并不能阻挡人类认识这个大世界、体会这个大世界、记录这个大世界。最终，在诺大的世界里看到了自己的内心，找到了爱的源起。
最喜欢的摄影师分别是：萨尔瓦多，亚当斯，卡帕和布列松。总之就是人文和风光，纪实的排序。突然感觉这部纪录片也想优胜美地的宣传片，边界在消失，而我们要尊重荒野。
很全面的介绍了AnselAdams，而且很多第一资料，图像或影音等。。。可惜，这片，太平铺直叙，太闷了，，，有兴趣的童鞋一定要把持住不要随便关窗口，呵呵。
各种拔高恭维。拍石头不想政治化也是他，游说华盛顿也是他。对ZoneSystem多牛逼完全没提。还不如拍成带光路解构演示的摄影科普片。
“看起来，大多数经历了时间洗礼的人类之作，都能汲取到一些大自然的质感，残垣断壁渐渐生出了魔法，一旦见到，变难以被忽视”。
“我们不只是用相机拍照，我们带到摄影中去的是所有我们读过的书，看过的电影，听过的音乐，爱过的人。”—AnselAdams
有机会要去YosemiteNationalPark，或看或拍，向大师致敬
附带讲摄影的，主要讲一位大师的一生。乔布斯的偶像哦！
更加了解了亚当斯的一生，他的片子光感质感真是太棒了
