    In which of the arts did Group F.64 occupy themselves?

    Question #44499. Asked by shady shaker.

    Hamlet.

    Photography and mixology...

    Group f/64 was created in 1932 by a circle of photographers espousing a common philosophy. The original membership consisted of:

    Ansel Adams
    Imogen Cunningham
    Willard Van Dyke
    John Paul Edwards
    Consuelo Kanaga
    Sonya Noskowiak
    Henry Swift
    Edward Weston

    The term f/64 refers to the smallest aperture setting on a large format camera, which secures maximum depth of field, rendering a photograph evenly sharp from foreground to background. This corresponds to the ideal of straight photography which the group espoused in response to the pictorialist methods that were in fashion at the time.
