Jerry UelsmannBY: RYAN PERKINS

Born in Detroit on June 11, 1934, Jerry Uelsmann received his B.F.A. degree at the Rochester Institute

of Technology in 1957 and his M.S. and M.F.A. at Indiana University in 1960.

Uelsmann’s work has been exhibited in more than 100 individual shows in the United States and abroad

over the past thirty years.

He never used digital cameras, since he felt that his creative process was

more suited to the darkroom.

teaching photography at the University of Florida. Two years later he was the co-founder of

WHY I CHOSE HIM

HE IS NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU SEE TODAY. HE BRINGS A WHOLE KNEW MEANING TO PHOTOGRAPHY. UELSMANN HAS A VERY CREATIVE MIND AND PIECES TOGETHER WHAT HE WANTS TO GET ACORSS TO HIS VIEWERS.

CREATING A NEW WORLD IN WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE USE OF PHOTO. HE IS CONSTANTLY THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX AND HE IS TRUE TO HIMSELF AND DOESN’T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS MAY THINK OF HIS TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY. HE MAY HAVE HIS OWN MEANING TO HIS WORK

BUT THE MAGNIFICENTS OF HIS WORK ALLOWS THE VIEW TO HAVE THEIR OWN IDEAS OF WHAT IT MAY MEAN.
