Ansel Adams (1902-1984) produced some of the 20th century's most iconic
photographic images and helped nurture the art of photography through
his creative innovations and peerless technical mastery.
The Print--the third volume in Adams' celebrated series of books on
photographic techniques--has taught generations of photographers how to
explore the artistic possibilities of printmaking. Examples of Adams'
own work clarify the principles discussed. This classic handbook
distills the knowledge gained through a lifetime in photography and
remains as vital today as when it was first published.
The Print takes you step-by-step--from designing and furnishing a
darkroom to mounting and displaying your photographs, from making your
first print to mastering advanced techniques, such as developer
modifications, toning and bleaching, and burning and dodging. Filled
with indispensable darkroom techniques and tips, this amply illustrated
guide shows how printmaking--the culmination of photography's creative
process--can be used expressively to enhance an image.
