'Das Positiv' shows the concept of visualization, in which photographers imagine the final image in all its tonal gradation even before taking the picture. Ansel ADAMS points out all the possibilities that make the work on the positive a creative process.

'Looking at Ansel Adams' is an immersive study that explores his life as an artist by illuminating the stories behind twenty of his most significant images. Lesser-known but equally important photographs provide unexpected insights into his personal life.

In this late photo book photographer Robert ADAMS allows us to take a look at his very personal surroundings. The b/w photographs gathered here can hardly be called special, but this calm view onto the private sphere makes it extraordinarily interesting.

This edition contains b/w photos taken between 1973 and 1991, a six-page interview with as well as a two-page biography. It was published in the 'Photographers at Work' series by the American Smithsonian Institute - like EGGLESTON's 'Horses and Dogs'.
