Jerry Uelsmann "Undiscovered Self"

Undiscovered Self

                                      Jerry Uelsman 1999

Jerry Uelsman photographs are  "surreal, spiritual and thought provoking". He is the very first photography that used a technique called layering. He only uses his negatives in each of his new works. He spends hours in the dark room creating new and unique pictures such as the one above. (Undiscovered self) I enjoy this picture because to me it represents the love between two people but also the separation. Most of his photos are black and white and with each negative he has put together a whole new picture. He also uses each picture as a frame, and the boarders of each picture create another picture within itself.
