1. Jerry Uelsmann
Jerry Uelsmann was born in Detroit in
1934. It wasn’t until high school that he found
his passion for photography. He liked that using
a camera could change the view of the world.
Uelsmann is still living and his most recent
publication was “Other Realities” in 2005.
2. Impact
Jerry Uelsmann definitely impacted the
way photography was looked at as an art form.
He made photography into more of a skill rather
than point and shoot. Uelsmann took the
normal idea of photography and distorted it into
something almost brand new.
3. Why I Chose Him
Right as soon as I saw his work I instantly
loved it. I love how strange it is and how
imaginative it is as well. Also, it reminded me a
lot of the things I draw and I liked the idea that I
could take my ideas that I normally draw and
put them into my photography. Lastly, I love
learning new techniques and I saw this as the
perfect opportunity to learn advanced methods
of using Photoshop to make my pieces way
more artistic.
