The one thing that can be said about photography practiced in the late Modernism through Post-Modernism period is that is was diverse.
Berenice Abbott’s wonderful street scenes and, Margaret Bourke-White classic photo-essays are examples of the types of photography that was practiced in the new subjective style. Bourke-White’s is known for capturing “the essential truth” with her photographs. Abbott used different angles with her street scenes to capture the true life of the city.
Ansel Adams was a leading advocate of straight photography like Steiglitz and Weston. He believed photography to be a medium of expression. Adams had a great love for the American West and spent decades capturing pictures of Yosemite.
Adams photographs have appeared in many books. He was often involved in the printing process for publication and it was said that he even checked proofs on the printing press.
