The Ansel Adams Gallery

I live close to Yosemite and like many other "locals" we've learned to avoid the valley as much as possible to actually be able to enjoy our time in Yosemite and stay away from crowds. So even after years here I was lacking on some of the "iconic" photos I felt I should have.

So, I signed my daughter and I up for a Valley photo tour and Michael was our guide. We had an incredible time on our tour. Michael shared some wonderful information, guided us to some wonderful photo spots, and made our day in the Valley one of the best we've had. The weather went from rain to sun on and off all day, but Michael was able to suggest great photo ideas for the time of day and lighting. He's spent over a decade in the valley and really knows his stuff. There's no way I could've planned a better day on my own.

He seemed very open to assisting with framing ideas, photo settings, or other things that could be helpful and I think any skill level from basic to advanced could benefit from a guided tour. I highly suggest booking a tour if you want to create some wonderful photo memories of your visit to Yosemite.

Love the Ansel Adams Gallery at Yosemite. Awesome gift shop with Ansel Adams. Fun to browse and walked away with some things.

The Ansel Adams Gallery celebrates the life and work of famous photographer Ansel Adams. The gallery has many of his original prints, reprints, books and general souvenirs that reference him. You'll also find works of other photographers that showcase Yosemite. There are paid photography classes offered here as well as free walking tours each Tuesday and Thursday. While most of the items in stock are expensive, the value of learning you receive by exploring this gallery is priceless.

As a photographer and nature appreciator The Ansel Adam's Gallery was a must. We were greeted at the front door by SARAH! She informed us on the controlled capacity due to covid and we were let in shortly after. Sarah was professional and knowledgeable. Made a great first impression of
the gallery. I grew up loving all of Ansel Adam's work so this was a treat. They have original prints of his work with many books for sale. You can also find other art work by local artist and handmade jewelry. Need film or memory cards in a pinch? They got you covered! Camera gear readily available. Tons of knowledgeable photographers working there as well. The gallery is kept clean and staff do everything they can to make sure people are safe and abiding covid regulations. Will be back soon. Thank you Ansel Adam's Gallery staff!

This is a very nice store with some classy home decor and jewelry items. Of course plenty of high-end camera goodies and the exclusive Ansel Adams Yosemite photos that can only be purchased here or on their official website. They're pricey - $325 or so a shot and then $100 for a frame. But they're matted well and look high quality.

Staff were friendly and it's a beautiful shop to browse if you're looking for some quality keepsakes.

Wish I could give it zero stores! Very rude people and my daughters mask (3 yo) was a smudge under her nose on the edge and a worker actually came up to her and said "you have to have that over your nose when inside" we left immediately. What a joke this place is!

We took a photography class with Blake and it was the highlight of our visit. We had been coming to Yosemite since I was a child (I am now retired) and he taught our group ways to see the beauty of the valley through a smartphone lens. 12/10 would highly recommend

Art among nature ~

I have three loves: nature * food * art

This place offers two of those items and if you exit the gallery/store you'll also have several food options that all overlook beautiful Yosemite.

I didn't know Ansel had a gallery here until I accidentally stumbled upon it and it truly made my day. Featuring much of his work as well as other artists & photographers. There are postcards that are inexpensive and there are also some very serious pieces of art you can take home with you. I didn't get crazy in here but I did purchase two prints that cost me under $50 which is a bargain in my opinion. I left very pleased.

You'll also find; jewelry, pottery, soaps, books, calendars, and all sorts of lovely items & gifts. I loved exploring this place and recommend it to anyone who enjoys art & photography. It's a small shop but offers many beautiful items.

Although it's actually a store rather than a gallery, The Ansel Adams Gallery is still my favorite spot to visit in Yosemite Village. The store sells items that, from prints to books, celebrate not only the magnificent work of Ansel Adams, who was undoubtedly a category of photography of his own, but the world of nature photography in general.

Although it's small, the store also carries photography accessories from tripods to film stock - very useful for a photographer who suddenly finds himself either forgetting or missing the essential tools to capturing the details of Yosemite's lively meadows to the tops of Yosemite's massive granite sentinels.

I highly recommend this store as not just a place to buy and browse through Ansel Adam's best work - many done in Yosemite Valley itself - but to be inspired too.

Beautiful gallery and informative staff. It's all a bit pricey, but beautiful stuff to look at and be inspired by.
