Jerry Uelsmann – Photo Analysis

This is a photo by Jerry Uelsmann, as you can see its not any ordinary photo, Uelsmann has this strange style of photography and he likes to use layers different editing tools to make his surreal photos. he has mixed possibly 3 or 4 photos in this one as you can see, there is a photo of a hand, of a house, of the clouds and of a person. This is very impressive as he didn’t have software such as Photoshop in his time, he had to use a dark room to create these photos.

Apart from the editing side, the actual photo itself is very impressive, the composition sits well as the figure of a person stands just before the house and lets your eyes follow up from him to the house.  I could try and recreate something like this by using layers in Photoshop with whatever i decide to do, which will be something along the lines of fantasy.
