The full spectrum of Ansel Adams' work in a single volume, offering the largest available compilation from his legendary photographic career capturing American landscapes.

The photographs are arranged chronologically into five major periods, from his first photographs made in Yosemite and the High Sierra in 1916 to his work in the National Parks in the 1940s up to his last important photographs from the 1960s. An introduction and brief essays on selected images provide information about Adams' life, document the evolution of his technique, and give voice to his artistic vision.
Few artists of any era can claim to have produced four hundred images of lasting beauty and significance. It is a testament to Adams' vision and lifetime of hard work that a book of this scale can be compiled. ANSEL ADAMS: 400 PHOTOGRAPHS is a must-have for anyone who appreciates photography and the allure of the natural world.

Beautiful Chronological Collection of an Iconic Artist

January 17, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Beautifully compiled collection with sparse but poignant writing on Adams' career, life, and philosophies. Others have commented on image size or paper quality, but I found both perfectly acceptable. That said, there were some beautifully detailed pictures bordered by a lot of white space on the page that would have been nice to see more blown up, but it's a small quibble.

DAVID G. MCHALE IV

OUR QUINTESSENTIAL AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER !!!!!

July 4, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

If you don't already own a book on ANSEL ADAMS work, then this is definitely the one to get! This amazing man's career spanned six decades, and ANSEL ADAMS 400 PHOTOGRAPHS is an outstanding overview of the sacredness this man wanted to capture on film so many would appreciate our wild places. ANSEL'S ability to sense and document light, shadow, and the composition of the subject matter are beyond perfect. Anyone who enjoys nature will love this volume and will treasure the magnificence that resides on our wonderous planet. I always thought of MR. ADAMS as the quintessential American photographer, and you may feel the same way after spending some time with this timeless classic book, as you'll recognize many of the photographs as familiar iconic images imprinted onto our collective American psyche. Two of my favorite ADAMS pics are here; the Oaktree(Snowstorm,Yosemite N.P.,CA,1948), and Moonrise (Hernandez,N.M.,1941). It's all here folks in glorious B&W, as these pictures really are a true thing of beauty and are beyond my vocabulary to even begin to give then any sort of real justice. If photography, art, or nature is your thing - I highly recommend ANSEL ADAM'S 400 PHOTOGRAPHS to you. This man really is a national trasure, and every household would sincerely benifit from the eternal beauty contained from within these extrodinary pages.

Great Coffee Table Book

June 13, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I was assigned to do a presentation on Ansel Adams for an art class. Although I'd seen his work on several occasions, I had no idea who he was or the significance of his work. After reading about him and viewing his work online, I decided to purchase this book. I'm glad I did! The photographs are absolutely breathtaking! If you love black and white landscape photography, you'll love this book. Ansel Adams was not only a incredibly gifted photographer but his contribution to wilderness preservation, makes him an incredible human being as well.

Almost perfect, were it not because of...

January 20, 2008

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

the size. This book is about the size of 8x11, so it's not a large coffee table book size. What it lacks in area size, it makes it up in the number of great photos, all 400 of them.

I also own the Yosemite and the Range of Light, one of Ansel Adams most highly acclaimed publication printed back in the 70's. I compared the two books. The 400 uses a whiter paper stock. Many of the photos in the 400 look different from the Range of Light. Some have more contrast, some have less. It is sort of like a slightly different interpretation. I closely compared a couple of the photos, in one case, I found the 400 has more shadow details in the deep shadow area, but the Range of Light counterpart has more emotional impact; the larger size may have to do with the emotional part. In another case,the 400 has less overall contrast, and a lot more shadow information comparing to the Range of Light, and I like the 400 interpretation better.

This book is a must have for Ansel Adams follower.

Inspiring Book for New Photographers

January 23, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I'm a young photographer & nature lover. I had heard of Ansel Adams, but had only seen a few of his photographs. So I decided to order a book of his photographs. I chose this book because it had the largest collection, & I am very pleased with my decision. I was concerned after reading a review that complained that the pictures were a little small. While I agree that the pictures would be AMAZING in a larger size, I think the pictures in the book are adequate in size (they're much larger than the pictures on the front cover).

My favorite aspect of the book is the organization. It is organized, for the most part, chronologically. His photography career is broken into five main categories that are defined by the main subjects of his photographs, influences, & associations. There is a page of text to introduce each category. Because of this organization, it is easy to see his progress & his artistic deviations. Readers see him learning from the first photograph to the last.

Another cool thing is each photograph has the location of where it was taken. My bookmark is a piece of paper & a pencil so I can write down the places I want to go to someday.

I could not recommend this book highly enough.

Heads up for teachers: there is a photograph of a man smoking. Not a problem for me, we just talked about it and moved on, but could be a problem for restrictive settings. Very inspiring for my young photographers.

I like the way this book is like a reference and it is well designed as such. His foundation controls all of his printing, and the plates are superb. I have bought this book twice.

A must-get book for any Adams' enthusiast

October 28, 2007

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

If you want 400 finely reproduced photographs of the oeuvre of one of the greatest black and white photographers, Ansel Adams, then you must get this book. The photographs are reproduced with the fine attention to detail, shadow and contrast that Adams would have demanded. It was amazing to see his first photographs of Yosemite when he was 14 years old. Turning each page, one stumbles across photographs one has forgotten or never seen, or those one can never forget. Even though the book could have been just a little bit bigger, it is a nice size to fit on your lap without breaking your arms. This is a must-get book for any Adams' enthusiast.
