Fine photographic prints from an Ansel Adams’ protégé
March 23 – April 29, 2017
Alan Ross has earned an international reputation as a specialist in the art of black-and-white photography – as an artist, educator and master printer. He was Ansel Adams’ Photographic Assistant in Carmel from 1974 to 1979, and integrally involved with Adams’ books, teaching in Yosemite, and production of fine prints. Ross’s tonally exquisite black-and-white photograph prints, painstakingly hand-crafted in the darkroom, are prized by collectors and hang in collections throughout the world. Ross is the exclusive printer of Ansel Adams’ Yosemite Special Edition Prints, an assignment Adams personally selected him for. He makes each print by hand from Adams’ original negatives using traditional darkroom techniques.
“Alan Ross: Art of the Gelatin Silver Print” highlights forty-five years of photographing around the world and features a variety of images; landscapes, oak trees at the LBJ Ranch in Stonewall, Texas, still lifes, architecturals, a stunning nude, and more. The exhibition also includes a selection of engaging portraits and candids of the legendary photographer Ansel Adams that Ross took during his tenure with him.
