Jerry Uelsmann


The title of this image is "Myth of the Tree" and it is a photograph taken in 1963 by Jerry Uelsmann. It depicts a face overlaid onto the base of a tree. This shows Uelsmann's classic style of photo manipulation. This method, which required extensive work in the dark room, allowed Uelsmann to combine several negatives into one single image that would not otherwise be possible to produce. He worked as a photography professor at the University of Florida. His love of photography is prevalent, as he continues to produce works using old and new negatives to make new composite photos.
