The photograph titled “Ansel Adams, Photographer” was taken by Imogen Cunningham in the year 1975. It features an elderly gentleman, presumably Ansel Adams himself, seated on the ground against a backdrop that includes a tree trunk and what appears to be a doorway. He has a full beard and a lively expression on his face, with his eyes slightly crinkled in a hint of a smile. The individual is dressed in a dark shirt with light piping and dark trousers. His demeanor exudes a relaxed yet spirited character, sitting with one knee up and one extended, and his eyeglasses are placed beside him on the ground, which suggests he may have been in a moment of rest or casual repose. The photograph is captured in black and white, highlighting the textures and tones of the subject and his surroundings, a style indicative of many portraits from that era.
