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.

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.

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.
