Independent Project-Jerry Uelsmann

           Jerry Uelsmann’s most famous technique involves fabricating photographs from unrelated negatives to create scenes such as hands that appear to be growing from a tree trunk. Often he focuses on animals, wildlife, nature, and landscape. His mystical and enigmatic images abound with mystery and symbolism. He believes that it is equally difficult to produce great images no matter what tools you use. “I see the incredible options that Photoshop provides, but the bottom line is the technique has to fit with ideas and images,” he says.
