FAQ About Ansel Adams
What is "Group f/64" with which Ansel Adams was associated?
Group f/64 was a collective of photographers based in San Francisco that Ansel Adams co-founded in 1932. The group advocated for "straight" photography, emphasizing sharp focus, careful framing, and unmanipulated prints, in contrast to the Pictorialist movement that preceded them. The group's name, "f/64," references a small aperture setting that results in a wide depth of field and high-definition, precise images.
