A now deceased family friend photographed Antelope Canyon and others in the 1950's, 60's an d 70's. Always with friends who lived there for guides. Early trips they took hand made wooden ladders and ropes for the hikes. His work was with 4x5 chromes through the decades. He is Bill Ratcliffe, from Orem, Utah. For decades he traveled and photographed with his Burke & James view camera using a 10 inch Commercial Ektar lens. That was the only lens he had and he used it well. A number of covers for Audubon magazine, many photo layouts in the magazine and a number of book to his credit.
Might also look at both Josef and David Muench. Father and son - Large Format photographers who visited those canyons for decades as well. Both excellent photographers.
A number of fine photographers have worked in the canyons through the decades with some fine images as the result.
