FAKING IT : Manipulated Photography Before PhotoshopJerry N. Uelsmann (American 1930-)Although a contemporary photographer, Jerry N. Uelsmann’s artistry and talent lie in his traditionalism. A leader in photomontage, the process of joining two images together to make a new photograph, Uselmann introduces his work in black and white with a metaphysical interpretation. Up until the mid twentieth century, the main purpose of photography was to record history prompting Uelsmann’s work to be initially negatively critiqued. Eventually Uelsmann’s marriage between the organic and artificial became widely love and recognized for its uniqueness. His work is created by fabricating composite photographs with various negatives and extensive darkroom work. Featuring familiar places with untorhodox elements, such as eyes on walls, windows on trees or shrubbery on the artificial, Uelsmann’s technique has remained untouched by technology and digital art. -- source link
