Additional Details



Founded by Minor White, Dorothea Lange, Nancy Newhall, Ansel Adams, Beaumont Newhall, Barbara Morgan, and edited by Minor White, the publication's credo, which appears in vol. 1 no. 1, is worth noting: "Aperture has been originated to communicate with serious photographers and creative people everywhere, whether professional, amateur, or student. . . . It is intended to be a mature journal in which photographers can talk straight to each other, discuss the problems that face photography as profession and art, share their experiences, comment on what goes on, descry the new potentials."
