Jerry Uelsmann

Uelsmann is said to be the master of photomontage, His images are spiritual and thought provoking.
He believes that through photography he could exist outside of himself, to live in a world captured through the lens. He used up to a dozen enlargers at a time to produce his final images.
His interpretations of landscape elements, reworked, tweaked and recontextualised, force the viewer to actively interact with his subjects.





I find Uelsmann's worked really interesting and has inspired me to do something similar in my work for this module. I love how you want to stare at the photos and try to work them out and thats how I would like my work to be portrayed. 
I also like the effect the monochrome has, making them look more eery and unusual.
