内容简介： 对美国最著名的摄影师之一的早期职业生涯进行了前所未有的令人大开眼界的审视。

安塞尔·亚当斯（Ansel Adams，1902-1984）是他这一代最有影响力的摄影师之一，以拍摄美国西部的戏剧性照片而闻名。尽管亚当斯的许多图像现在都是标志性的，但他的早期作品在很大程度上仍然未知。在这本致力于亚当斯职业生涯开始的第一本专著中，丽贝卡·A。Senf认为，这些早期照片对于理解Adams的艺术发展至关重要，并为艺术家成熟作品的许多方面提供新的见解。

An unprecedented and eye-opening examination of the early career of one of America’s most celebrated photographers

One of the most influential photographers of his generation, Ansel Adams (1902–1984) is famous for his dramatic photographs of the American West. Although many of Adams’s images are now iconic, his early work has remained largely unknown. In this first monograph dedicated to the beginnings of Adams’s career, Rebecca A. Senf argues that these early photographs are crucial to understanding Adams’s artistic development and offer new insights into many aspects of the artist’s mature oeuvre.
 
Drawing on copious archival research, Senf traces the first three decades of Adams’s photographic practice—beginning with an amateur album made during his childhood and culminating with his Guggenheim-supported National Parks photography of the 1940s. Highlighting the artist’s persistence in forging a career path and his remarkable ability to learn from experience as he sharpened his image-making skills, this beautifully illustrated volume also looks at the significance of the artist’s environmentalism, including his involvement with the Sierra Club.
