Blog assignment 7 "Jerry Uelsmann's Manipulated Photography"

Beginnings by Jerry N. Uelsmann. Jerry Ulesman started experimenting with photography at a young age, and later received a master’s degree in the art form. He composed all of his images by combining multiple negatives together, to create one image. He was the first of his time to use this technique this creatively. A lot of work goes into each and every print. After taking multiple images, he utilizes several enlargers for his negatives. If there is one major rule of composition and design that this photograph lacks, it’s leading lines and symmetry. Uelsmann’s work is very abstract, and the eye is forced to bounce around the image. Although, this does not make the image bad, because I always believed that there is no solid rules in photography.
