My Photo Project

So, for this photography class I am in, we were assigned a project. For this project, we are supposed to work in the manner of a famous photographer. I chose to work in the manner of Jerry Uelsmann. I chose him because of how interesting his work is. I like art that makes one think and find a deeper meaning, and his work is like that. Jerry is also one of those artists that makes one think "Wow,  I wonder how he did that"!  His photography is not just the typical pictures of nature. It is unique in the fact that he combines two or more photos together to create a masterpiece. Check it out: http://www.uelsmann.net/#

For my project, I plan on going along with the whole black and white scheme Jerry has going on. I really liked how he uses hands in a lot of his work so I plan on using hands in mine.  I will eventually use Photoshop to incorporate other images that lead to a deeper meaning.  I can only hope that my photos will be half as interesting as Jerry Uelsmann's photos are.
