f/64

Group f/64 was formed in the 20th century by some photographers in San Francisco, who all shared the same photographic style. They formed to oppose the pictorials photographic style that took over during the 1900s. The group was first formed during the time that America was suffering with the great depression, and there are only 11 photographers included. The photographers wanted to promote the more modern style of photography that looked at perfectly exposed shots of natural forms. The name of the group comes from the photographic lens and is used to signify the quality of the photographers work along with the wide range of ability. F/64 put on their first show in 1932 and three years later the group had dis-formed.

One artist that was a member of this group was Ansel Adams, an American Photogrpaher and Enviromentalist, best known for his balck and white landscape photographs.
