Zone System:  photographic technique for determining optimal film exposure and development, formulated by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer; a systematic method of precisely defining the relationship between the way they visualize the photographic subject and the final results



Bromoil System: an early photographic process that was very popular with the Pictorialists during the first half of the twentieth century; soft qualities based on the oil print



Photo-Secession:  an early-20th-century movement that promoted photography as a fine art in general and photographic pictorialism in particular; belief that what was significant about a photograph was not what was in front of the camera but the manipulation of the image by the artist/photographer to achieve his or her subjective vision.
