Manipulated Photography

Jerry N. Uelsmann's Rumples Market demonstrates the medium of manipulated photography. In order to complete manipulated photography, Uelsmann takes pictures of multiple different objects and whites out the background behind these objects. He then combines the objects into one final picture to show what he is trying to portray. In Rumples Market he has used random objects such as the arrows on the street, and the pictures of Coke bottles to create a face on the brick wall and street. The whole reason he takes pictures is because he likes to explore. Where ever he is, if he likes what he sees, then he takes the picture. The concepts take place in the darkroom. He believes that is where the art blossoms because it's all based off of what he can create. In Rumples Market each portion of the face was taken in a different area. He then combined them all in the darkroom to create a final portrait.
