Land_AA is an eleven volume set of artist books that explore the legacy and mythology of famed American photographer, Ansel Adams. AA developed an eleven step system of tones in black and white photography, commonly known as “the zone system,” as a way to calculate and control light from its brightest burst to its darkest murmur. Our approach is to build a conceptual zone system which adds to and completes another sort of picture.
Land_AA is a project by Clear As Day.
