Group f/64 is renowned in the history of photography, counting among its members Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Brett Weston, Willard Van Dyke, and Edward Weston. Revolutionary in its day, Group f/64 shared a common photographic style characterized by sharp-focused and carefully framed images. This group aspired to promote a new Modernist aesthetic that was based on precisely exposed images of natural forms and found objects. From the San Francisco Bay Area, its influence extended internationally, contributing significantly to the recognition of photography as fine art.
