- Title
Color Photography as a Creative Medium.
- Authors
Adams, Ansel
- Abstract
The article discusses the difficulties of understanding photography in its aspects regarding the conflict between symbolism and simulation of reality. Everything about black-and-white photography pertains to color photography, with the addition that a more precise technique is demanded as well as a refined sense of color as color, and not just as a play of dyes on a piece of film. Moreover, a color transparency creates an extended contrast range compared with the original subject. A color print or a printing-press production presents a reduced contrast range compared with the original subject.
