| Jerry Uelsmann |
| Jerry N. Uelsmann (born 11 June 1934 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American photographer. |
| Uelsmann is a master printer producing composite photographs with multiple negatives and extensive darkroom work. He uses up to a dozen
enlargers at a time to produce his final images. Similar in technique to Rejlander, Uelsmann is a champion of the idea that the final image need
not be tied to a single negative, but may be composed of many. Unlike Rejlander, though, he does not seek to create narratives, but rather
allegorical surrealist imagery of the unfathomable. Uelsmann is able to subsist on grants and teaching salary, rather than commercial work. |
