Examines the work of English photographer Emerson (1856-1936) and his influence on Americans like Curtis, Steiglitz, and Doris Ulman. In his groundbreaking 1889 book "Naturalistic Photography for Students of the Art" Emerson argued for photography as a fine art, instructed photographers to use Nature as their standard, and introduced the theory of differential focusing, wherein the main subject is in focus and everything else falls off into moderate softness.
