The F/64 Group was a collective of photographers founded in 1932 in San Francisco. It included notable members like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, who aimed to promote a style of photography that emphasized sharp focus and detailed images. The group's name refers to a small aperture setting on a camera, which allows for greater depth of field. The F/64 Group sought to elevate photography as an art form, distinct from painting. They focused on capturing the beauty of the natural world and everyday objects, using techniques that highlighted texture and clarity. Their work significantly influenced modern photography and established a foundation for future artistic movements.
