This monographic work summarizes the career of the famous landscape photographer Anselm Adams in all its facets, with a selection of works commented on by Marco Cattaneo.

Ansel Adams (1902–1984) was an influential American landscape photographer and environmentalist, best known for his extraordinary black and white photographs of national parks, particularly Yosemite. He co-founded the f/64 Group and developed the 'Zone System,' which allowed photographers meticulous control over exposure and development to achieve the desired tonal range.
Adams dedicated most of his career to documenting the majesty of American nature, especially in the West. His images became icons of the environmental movement. His passion for nature went hand in hand with his activism. A long-time member of the Sierra Club, he used his photographs to raise public awareness about the conservation of natural areas. For his commitment as a photographer and environmentalist, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1980.
Adams is considered one of the most renowned and beloved photographers in the history of the United States. His work has helped elevate photography to the status of an art form, and he remains an inspiration for photographers around the world.
