Is an American photographer. When he was in high school, his interest in photography sparked. He originally believed that using a camera could allow him to exist outside of himself, to live in a world captured through the lens. Despite poor grades, he managed to land a few jobs, primarily shooting weddings. Jerry Uelsmann dropped out of Indiana University. He began teaching photography at the University of Florida in 1960. In 1967, Uelsmann had a solo exhibit at The Museum of Modern Art which opened doors for his photography career.
Write a short personal reaction to the movement, photographer or term you researched. What is interesting or not interesting about the work (50 – 75 words).
Jerry's photography is most interesting. It's like not I've ever seen. I like that he can put three different people in the same picture. The way it's faded it looks so cool. And just the unusualness of the picture makes his work interesting.
