Story Behind the Image
Ansel's good friend and fellow photographer, Imogen Cunningham, had visited Ansel on assignment for People magazine in 1975. She kept insisting that while she would photograph Ansel, he should also photograph her. Ansel was busy that day, and kept trying to graciously decline his "assignment" from Imo.
Finally, after endless needling, he said "Alan, go get the Hasselblad." I made this image of him as he resigns himself to taking photos of Imogen. His photographs of her were much better than hers of him, at least in my opinion.
About Artist
Alan Ross is an internationally respected master photographer and educator who expresses his unique vision with a combination of traditional photographic craftsmanship and today’s technology. His tonally exquisite photographs take the viewer from the grandeur of the American West to the changing faces of China to abstractions created by the relationship of objects both natural and man-made. Each image is a purely visual and emotional response to the subject matter, executed with an exacting eye and superior technical artistry.
Alan honed his vision and technique while working side-by-side with Ansel Adams in the field and in the darkroom as his full-time photographic assistant. He was integrally involved with Adams’ books, teaching in Yosemite, and production of fine prints. Alan was personally selected by Adams to be the exclusive printer of the Yosemite Special Edition Photograph negatives, an assignment he has enjoyed for nearly 50 years. As such, Alan knows Ansel’s approach and technique perhaps better than any other photographer today.
