For my media arts class we were told to pick a well known photographer who inspired us by the photos they took. I picked Jerry Uelsmann, because I think it's interesting how he puts two pictures, of way different things, and put them together and created a whole new intersting picture.
Jerry Uelsmann was a late 1900's photographer, who had a whole different vision of photography. He inspired my views on the way I see the world and how I take photographs. I plan to pay homage to him and his photography by creating my own creative photography using the same concept he used. For example he would take a photo of something that looks lifeless (right photo) and mirror image it to show how it looked or would look with life.
I also plan to take pictures with one person thats kind of distant in the photo or has a silhouette, because I've noticed Uelsmann uses women in a lot of his photos. He also uses alot of nature, which to me suggests that he respects women and nature.
