Jerry Uelsmann

Jerry Uelsmann is an American photographer who is well known for taking two distinct photographs and integrating them to create very strange and unique photographs. Uelsmann is a master in printing, producing complex photographs with many negatives and extensive darkroom work. He uses up to a dozen enlargers at a time to produce his final images. His final image must be composed of many negatives. All of Uelsmann’s images are black and white. His dreamlike images play with our minds and transport the viewers into another world.

Maggie Taylor

Maggie Taylor depicts trancelike images of fantasy. Her photographs are produced using multiple images. She buys paintings from various flea markets and takes pictures of these painting. She then scans the photographs onto a computer and uses Adobe Photoshop to manipulate the images into a surrealistic montage. By altering and overlapping her images of various fantasy-like creatures, she is able to create innovative and remarkable photographs.

Assigment 5: Stop and Blurred Motion

For the stop motion photos I used a faster shutter speed, mostly 1/125. It was hard to get clear pictures because the faster the shutter speed was, the darker the image became on my camera. I had my little cousin skip rope and my dog run around my backyard... I love this photo of my cousin playing skip rope.
For the blurred motion photos I used a slower shutter speed like 1/4, and an ISO of 100. For these photos I had my cousins play together, run around, dance... The pictures taken indoors were a bit too dark, but I had a lot of fun taking these photos. I really like this photo of my cousin running. The leaves all over the grass and the composition is really interesting.

Assignment 3

The Original Image

1. I changed the image from black and white to sepia, and then I adjusted the contrast on the image.

2. I layered another image, from Google, on top of the original image and adjusted the color of the image from Google to make it blend into the original photograph.

3. Using the new version of Photoshop I was able to develop the image with a saved preset. This preset is called creative- antique light.

4. I also used a saved preset called creative- aged photo from the new version of Photoshop on the original image to get this look.

I think that changing the image to an antique look and to an aged look made the image stronger. I like the way these effects transformed the image. But when I changed the image to sepia I don’t think it made the image a lot stronger. I think the red was too strong a color for the image. I liked the other, more subtle, color changes better. When I layered the photo of the woman on top of the image I think it made the image stronger. I like the way it made the image more unusual and different.
