Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop Response

Befoe Photoshop…
I found these articles to be interesting to see how photographers like Jerry Uelsmann and others like him, used there creativity and there understanding of exposer within the dark room to make collaged like images by using multiple negatives. Giving the world the first look at mixed negatives that gives the worlds its first look at surrealism thought photography, manipulating peoples visually appearance through the medium. This created a medium that was what Jerry said was for him sub concusses yet visually produced a deeper meaning from within. It was show in the Met exhibition called Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop. which it shows image created in that way that comments entertainment, political, fantasy…, etc. Technology has made it so easy to make the images, it’s interesting to see how this was made before the technology I believe seeing them in person would truly make them outstanding.
