Philip Hyde attended Ansel Adams' photography program at the California School of Fine Arts in 1947, studying under photographers such as Edward Weston, Minor White, Imogen Cunningham, and Dorothea Lange. Hyde is considered to be a pioneer of conservation photography of the wilderness West. He helped preserve many of America's national parks.
"Many people refer to Philip Hyde as the underappreciated master landscape photographer of the 20th century. His photographs were used in more environmental campaigns than those of any other photographer. At the birth of the modern environmental movement, he was one of the primary illustrators of the groundbreaking Sierra Club Exhibit Format Series. He dedicated his life to defending western American wilderness, working with the Wilderness Society, National Audubon, and others. His color photographs changed landscape photography and helped establish color photography as a fine art. His photographs helped protect Dinosaur National Monument, the Grand Canyon, Redwood National and State Parks, Point Reyes, King's Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, the North Cascades, Canyonlands, the Wind Rivers, Big Sur, and many other national parks and wilderness areas." - the Sierra Club.
