Overview About Modern Replicas Modern Replicas were born from the desire of the artist's family to create a collection of Ansel Adams prints that showcased the artist throughout his career and delivered at a level of quality comparable to an original. The collection of Modern Replicas span Ansel's lifetime of exploration in Yosemite, and also beyond to the remote wonders of the Southwest, the expanses of Alaska, the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and the coastlines of California and New England. Each black and white replica is reproduced directly from an original photograph by Ansel Adams, and carefully crafted to mirror the photograph's brilliance and richness in contrast and tone. Exclusively from The Ansel Adams Gallery, these digitally-mastered prints leverage modern technologies, not available during Ansel's lifetime, in order to allow more people the enjoyment of owning and displaying an Ansel Adams piece. Available in a variety of sizes, up to 40x50 inches, Modern Replicas offer the flexibility to enhance both the larger and more intimate spaces of your home. Modern Replicas will stand the test of time. Made with museum-quality materials estimated to last over 180 years, their heavy paper mimics the look and feel of gelatin silver paper, and multiple pigments reflect the tones and highlights of Ansel's original works. Each replica can be finished with a custom frame of your choice, arriving at your home ready to hang. Authorized by the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust, this collection ranges in price from from $149 to $2,499, depending on size and framing. Join us in celebrating a full range of some of Ansel's finest work, featuring America's wild places, its national parks, and its great mountain ranges. As an owner of an Ansel Adams Modern Replica, you become a part of the story behind these images—of wildness and wilderness, that spans generations and continues to inspire us today—to see, revere, and protect the Earth. About this Image Ansel Adams created a series of photographs of Old Faithful Geyser on two trips for the mural project. "It is difficult to conceive of a substance more impressively brilliant than the spurting plumes of white waters in sunlight against a deep blue sky," he wrote. What’s Included Archival Pigment PrintExclusive Reproduction from Ansel Adams' Original PhotographMuseum-Quality Frame & FinishReady to hang (wired backing)Expert Packaging with Care30 day - 100% Satisfaction Guarantee (or full refund) Technical Details Modern Replicas are very high quality reproductions of Ansel Adams images, available in multiple sizes, made using the most advanced digital technologies today. Each one is individually produced and inspected, assembled with the best materials, and designed to provide the most elegant presentation possible. Available exclusively from The Ansel Adams Gallery. Read More in Depth Here Images The technology begins with imaging, but the entire process begins with image selection. The Modern Replicas are reproductions made from original photographs hand printed by Ansel Adams, rather than from the negatives. This allows us to accurately capture Ansel’s intent when he made the photograph, including all of the choices he made in the darkroom – paper selection, burning, dodging, and toning – to achieve his “visualization”. We have chosen prints from the collections of the Ansel Adams family and the Ansel Adams Archive at the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona. The exact print is selected based on the tonal values and clarity.Technology The imaging technology we are using is not generally available. It is currently in use by only three entities in the US: ourselves, the GettyMuseum, and the Smithsonian Institution. Every element of the image capture is carefully controlled and characterized – the image capture device, color temperature of the lighting, how light falls on the print, and colorimetric readings of the print itself. Quality Control Even in, or perhaps especially in, a mechanical process, quality control is critical. Sometimes the technology provides a level of QC that is acceptable, such as printers constantly self calibrating. Archival The “archival-ness” of a medium has become a very important in the world of photography and digital imaging and printing. Display and Design The design of the Modern Replica starts with the choice of paper. This is a heavy paper that mimics the look and feel of gelatin silver paper. We found in testing that it provided the richest feel and carried the image the best. Read More in Depth Here Framing Details Frame your Modern Replica and receive it ready to hang and designed to stand the test of time. Our Gallery makes framing easy, offering competitive rates simply based on the size of your artwork. Every frame is professionally built by our team of expert craftspeople using the highest-quality materials (wood or metal moulding, acid-free mats and foam core, and optional acrylic with 99% UV protection). We have selected five different options to accommodate different preferences and environments – wood and metal, each with two profiles, and different colors. Plexi-glass is used to provide protection for the print during shipping and for display. Image Size We size our prints according to nominal image size. Meaning not all prints are exactly the stated size. Ansel used many different cameras over his career that created finished prints in different aspect ratios. Modern Replicas are not cropped, they are faithful reproductions of Ansel Adams’ original photographs and adhere to the exact aspect ratio (relationship between the height and width of the image)Use our handy artwork chart to determine the relative size of the finished (matted and/or framed) print.

The Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Valley was put together in the 1970s as a space to enjoy the photographer’s work in the same place where he actually took some of his renowned pictures of the American wilderness. While the photographs remain as agelessly beautiful as the moment of their capture, the owners of the gallery decided to partner with MBH Architects in 2015 for a renovation.
When Ansel Adams set out to photograph Nevada Fall in the spring of 1947, the Mist Trail was an obvious no-go. The trail, so named for the heavy mists that roll off Vernal Fall, would be impossible to travail without soaking his camera equipment.

Se imaginan poder comprar dos cajas llenas de placas de vidrio del padre de la fotografía americana Ansel Adam por solo 45 dólares. Pues es cierto. Un pintor de Fresno, llamado Rick Norsigian, encontró casualmente las placas, mientras andaba buscando una silla de barbero en una venta típicamente americana de muebles y trastos viejos en un garaje. Después de regatear el precio, logró que se lo rebajaran de 70 a 45 dólares, sin saber realmente lo que acababa de adquirir. Según la última tasación, el valor actual de las placas podría alcanzar los 200 millones de dólares. Según cuenta el propio Norsigian, las dos cajas contiene 65 placas de cristal de 6,5 x 8,5 pulgadas, unos 17 x 22 centímetros, y pertenecen a la etapa inicial del famoso fotógrafo, anterior al año 1937, un periodo muy poco documentado del Adams ya que un desgraciado incendio destruyó su laboratorio en donde guardaba más de 5.000 placas originales. Una de las opciones que se barajan es que estas placas se salvaron del incendio por ser las que utilizaba como muestras para sus clases de fotografía en Pasadena. Ansel Easton Adams nació el 20 de febrero de 1902 en San Francisco, California. Fue considerado fotógrafo y ecologista. Cuando Adams tan solo tenía 4 años, estuvo presente en el terremoto de San Francisco de 1906, donde sufrió una rotura de tabique nasal. Hijo único y creció en un ambiente Victoriano (social y conservador). Pese a ser inteligente, era muy tímido, lo que, unido a la dislexia que padecía, le causó ciertos problemas al intentar integrarse en la escuela. Ansel Adams luchó durante toda su vida por defender y proteger la naturaleza. Estudió piano durante varios años, lo que le dio disciplina y estructura. Se inició en la fotografía utilizando una cámara Kodak #1 Box Brownie que le dieron sus padres. Se unió a un club donde conoció a su esposa, Virginia Best, y se casaron en 1928, engendrando a 2 hijos. Adams desarrolló el famoso “sistema de zonas”, un método de medición y revelado que se utilizaba para dividir la graduación de luz de una escena en 11 zonas diferentes, del blanco al negro. Esto le permitía visualizar los diferentes niveles de gris en la fotografía final con gran precisión. Murió el 22 de abril de 1984, debido a un fallo en el corazón, posiblemente agravado por un cáncer pancreático.
