Jerry N Uelsmann
American photographer Jerry N. Uelsmann (1934–2022) was a seminalfigure in photo history. Uelsmann catalyzed
the transfer from modernist to post-modern photography with his at the time controversial photo montages and
double exposures.
Decades before the birth of digital image editing programs like Photoshop, Uelsmann created photo montages by
combining several negatives in the darkroom. He started to create his surreal, spiritual, and thought-provoking
images in the late 1950s and continued to produce them, completely analog,
throughout his life.
