Below, post a quote from Jerry Uelsmann:
Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself. The anticipation of discovering new
possibilities becomes my greatest joy.
Where did Jerry get his education?
Rochester Institute of Technology and Indiana University
Where did he teach photography?
University of Florida
What is the process that Jerry goes through when he creates his
photography?
He works on a regular basis that gives him his ideas and a base for the next
image in a darkroom. Then, he addresses the images and in the developer,
he tests for correct exposure and burning. The next day, he look for a better
way to print the picture or add other elements. As he works on this, he thinks
about the technical aspects and if the image in front of him is evoking an
emotional response. He uses an emotion response instead of mentally intact
with the world. He uses as many as seven enlargers to combine negative
after negative into a single dramatic image.
What are some of Jerrys professional achievements?
He is the recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship, National Endowment for
the Arts Fellowship, and is included in the Florida Artists Hall of Fame.
Provide the most interesting fact that you found about Jerry.
