Surrealist Hues March 12, 2008

I’ve posted below a few pictures by photographer Jerry Uelsmann. His work consists of darkroom manipulation of multiple negatives to create surrealist imagery. I’m very impressed by his darkroom editing techniques; they’re very… ‘old photoshop’.
With the advent of digital photography, we’ve become quite used to this type of photomontage. But back when these prints were created, the photographic image was mostly considered as true as the eye.
I love his pictures.
they are soo ramdom and great..
Does Jerry Uelsmann do any coloured pictures or arre they only black and white?
Yeah they’re amazing, eh? I’m pretty sure he only does b&w, probably because of all the darkroom work…
wow these surrealism pictures are really good. we are using them as an example in our photography class
