Ansel Adams - The Zone System
Ansel Adams developed the zone system a method of ensuring he achieved the correct exposure.
The light from this image is coming into the frame from the top. We know this because of the shadows that are created onto the bottom of the image as there is no light in that part of the image. I believe that the use of Zones do create the different effects of masculinity and femininity. The darker Zones create a harsh vibe to the image and therefore makes the image more masculine. The lighter Zones would be stereotypically feminine because of the lighter tones created by light.
Pictorialism
Pictorialism is the name given to an international style and aesthetic movement that dominated photography during the later 19th and early 20th centuries. It was used to create a soft style of photography that replicated paintings and drawings. Usually to in focus and would look grainy and old-fashioned.
