The amazing work of Jerry N. Uelsmann is part of our notable photographers section.
Uelsmann’s vision and technique are absolutely stunning, although none of them is new: De Chirico, Magritte, Dalí and a large array of other artists had already paved the road of Surrealism since many years, while combination printing technique was already mature in Rejlander’s work more than a hundred years before Uelsmann started making photographs.
Yet Uelsmann has a unique merit: he put them all together.
Looking at his surrealist combination printing photography is an inspiring and stimulating experience.

In the mid-Eighties Jerry Uelsmann was hugely influential in darkroom image manipulation, it’s a delight to re-discover his work here. I interviewed him, by phone, for a photo mag feature for which he supplied quite a few prints. Sad to say they disappeared into the bowels of the magazine archive and I moved on without them.
