The photobook Uelsmann / Yosemite explores Jerry Uelsmann’s unique photographic strategy of creating surreal images through elaborate darkroom techniques. The work focuses on Yosemite, presenting the iconic natural landscapes transformed by Uelsmann’s layering and montage methods.

The images in this collection interrogate perception by combining multiple negatives to produce scenes that evoke mystery and imagination, challenging straightforward documentary expectations. The mood is contemplative and otherworldly, emphasizing the intersection of nature and dreamlike vision.

Published in 1996 by the University Press of Florida, the book contains 80 pages that document this distinctive body of work, offering insight into Uelsmann’s contributions to photographic art.
