Frases de Ansel Adams

Ansel Easton Adams fue un fotógrafo estadounidense, conocido por desarrollar el llamado sistema de zonas.



Conocido por sus fotografías en blanco y negro de paisajes del parque nacional de Yosemite en Estados Unidos y como autor de numerosos libros sobre fotografía como su trilogía de manuales de instrucción técnica . Fundó la asociación fotográfica Grupo f/64 junto con otros maestros como Edward Weston, Willard Van Dyke, Imogen Cunningham y otros.

Su sistema de zonas es una demostración de cómo la cámara o el fotómetro de la misma mide el gris medio de 18% de reflectancia como zona media. El fotógrafo debe aumentar la exposición dependiendo de cuántos pasos de gris quiera fijar como punto de medición. El fotómetro de cualquier cámara, incluso digital, siempre "quiere" ver la zona medida como un gris medio.



Espero ansioso nuevos procesos y nuevos desarrollos. Creo que la imagen electrónica será el próximo gran avance. Estos sistemas tendrán características estructurales ineludibles, y tanto los artistas como los técnicos deberán hacer un renovado esfuerzo para comprenderlos y controlarlos.

Ansel Adams: Frases en inglés

“To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.”

Contexto: I would never apologize for photographing rocks. Rocks can be very beautiful. But, yes, people have asked why I don’t put people into my pictures of the natural scene. I respond, “There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.” That usually doesn’t go over at all.

“It is horrifying that we have to fight our own Government to save the environment.”

“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term — meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching — there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.”

"A Personal Credo" (1943), published in American Annual of Photography (1944), reprinted in Nathan Lyons, editor, Photographers on Photography (1966), reprinted in Vicki Goldberg, editor, Photography in Print: Writings from 1816 to the Present (1988)

“Yes, in the sense that the negative is like the composer’s score. Then, using that musical analogy, the print is the performance.”

Paraphrased as "Film is the score and the print is the performance."
