Assignment Seven

I decided to create two Collages:
One with my own photographs and the other with images from the internet.



My Photographs



Internet Images (theme: hands)


Assignment Six

Jerry Uelsmann has composed many complex multiple negatives. His work requires long hours of dark room work. Unlike other photographers, Uelsmann incentive isn’t to create narratives but to rather produce “allegorical surrealist imagery of the unfathomable”.


Lucas Samaras is another influential multiple image photographer of our time. His work generally consisted of distorted self-portraits. Samaras created what he likes to call “Photo-Transformations” by playing around with the wet dyes in Polaroid photographic film. Before turning to photography Samaras worked in painting sculpture and performing arts.


Both Uelsmann and Samaras are considered to be “avant garde shattererers of the popular conception”.
