I've been
intrigued by
Jerrry Uelsmann's work for quite some time. He seamlessly blends composite images in the surrealistic style
that reminds me of
Escher or
Magritte, but it was all done in the darkroom
using burning and dodging and who knows what else, before it was possible to
digitally combine images in Photoshop. Here's a snapshot of the cover of one of
his calendars I bought way back in 2000. (He also has a book: Photo
Synthesis)
This image
is one of my favorites; I always displayed it outside my cubicle at work and it
never ceased to provoke interesting discussions!
So far with
my own
photography, I haven't delved into digital composites yet, although I
will probably end up there one of these days. I'm still focused on trying to
take one good picture at a time for now. ;p
Thanks for visiting my blog!
