My favourite photographer is Jerry Uelsmann. Uelsmann is an American photographer, born in Detroit, Michigan. Uelsmann pioneered the art of multi-layered imagery years  before anyone else. He only uses his negatives from the pictures that he shoots, and says that he does this often without a specific composition in mind (how incredible!). He uses composite photographs to create unique images. He has only ever used film, because he believes that the dark room suited his creative process better. Each and every one of Uelsmann's photographs contain different elements of surrealism. He creates this by combining landscapes that mix with trees, rocks, water, and human in the most unexpected ways.Uelsmann feels that his work touches his viewers on a personal level and communicates his emotion through the unimaginable settings that he creates.

In this photograph, Uelsmann has combined two different photos here to emphasize the image and to create an impact on the viewers. This photo is one of my favourites because of the messages it portays and the relatability to the unique image. 

This photograph combines different negatives of a lanscape a human body, a rock, and large human hands, This photograph creates a mysterious mood and relates to the viewer in an unexplainable way. I love all the detail and the many different aspects that create this image.

A house and a tree were combined to create this photograph and the definite structure and tone. This photograph is very intersting as it protrays a safe and secure mood.

I love this photograph, and the many different elements that were used to create it! This image explains a personal message showing what is in the human hand. This photograph protrays a powerful mood.
