Jerry Uelsmann

Jerry Uelsmann had the vision of living outside of himself, and he found that the best way for him to do this was to capture the world through a lens. Born on June 11, 1934 with a creative mind, he always seemed to see the world through different eyes, or perhaps a lens. His poor grades lead him to a life of very few jobs such as model photography, so he decided to go to college to open up job opportunities, which soon allowed him to be a photography teacher and soon have a solo exhibit. Uelsmann’s work tend to have some form of an entrance, whether it be figurative or literal. He also does not show the inside of his entrances. This causes the viewer to take on their own emotions and make decisions as to what the photograph means and what could possibly be inside of the particular object. Uelsmann thought that this would activate the viewer’s imagination, which is what his goal through his photography is. Telling a story is important to Uelsmann, and this is very clear in his work. “Photography is just light remembering itself.” Jerry explained as he was explaining his choice of a life of photography. Like Uelsmann said, “The camera is a fluid way of encountering that other reality.”
