Craig Ford, California Dreaming - Ansel Adams Inspired Images of Yosemite National Park (B&W 2023)
I have always been a huge fan of the late Ansel Adams and the iconic black and white photographs he took which are now synonymous with Yosemite National Park. On a recent trip to California, I wanted to capture the amazing light, varied weather conditions and high contrast scenes which can be found within this beautiful wilderness area. It was a dream come true to finally visit Yosemite National Park and I was very fortunate to have such moody conditions and atmosphere during my stay.
