He had focus was primarily on nude portraits and landscape photography. He grew up in Davis, California and attended Jesuit High School, UC San Diego, the London School of Economics, and the UC Hastings School of Law. Ed Ross had been taking photographs for 27 years, and during the past eight years he used wet plate photography for his work. Ross worked with both a half-plate box style and bellows-style camera and made use of period lenses from the 1800s for an aesthetic that was altogether authentic and transformative. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on a mountain road near Yosemite National Park while on his way to photograph one of his favorite subjects, the Half Dome in Yosemite Valley. Ed Ross passed away at 50 years old.
