- Jerry Uelsmann is one of the two photographers we were given who blend their photographs in order to improve the image and make it unique. Uelsmann first began teaching a photography class at the University of Florida in Gainesville in 1960. His work has started in many exhibitions, over 100 both in the United States and international. He no longer teaches photography but he is still a resident of Gainesville. Some of his work resides in many museums of art including, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Chicago Art Institute, the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Bibliotheque National in Paris, the National Museum of American Art in Washington, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the National Gallery of Canada, the National Gallery of Australia, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the National Galleries of Scotland, the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, and the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto. His work is all black and white and is very unique and creative, some of his pieces are even disturbing. His talent is undeniable and I can see why so many people admire him.
Maggie Taylor
- Maggie Taylor has a very creative mind which she projects into her photography that she blends. She received her bachelors degree in philosophy from Yale in 1983 and an MFA degree in photography from the University of Florida in 1987. Her work has been featured in numerous museums across the United States and internationally. Her work has also been featured in Adobe magazine. I can see why her work is so popular, she has a very whimsical style that gives a creepy, fantasy edge to her images. Something about this subtle creepiness draws the eye to the images and makes them very unique. She still lives in Gainesville Florida and is still a working photographer.
