A pioneer in the field, Adams developed the Zone System, a technique that allows photographers to control exposure and achieve a greater range of tonal detail in their prints. His commitment to conservation was reflected in his photographs, which were instrumental in promoting environmental awareness and protecting the wilderness he so passionately documented.

Adams was a founding member of Group f/64, which advocated for "pure" photography with a focus on sharp focus and high contrast. His legacy continues to inspire both photographers and environmentalists alike.

What is Environmental Art?

Environmental art is a collective term that refers to a wide range of artistic practices and works that engage with historical and ecological themes. The term often encompasses ecological concerns, although it is not exclusively defined by them. Environmental art acknowledges and appreciates the early history of the environmental art movement, including works with activist themes and those celebrating the connection between nature and the artist through the use of natural materials.
