WHY I CHOSE HIM
HE IS NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU SEE TODAY. HE BRINGS A WHOLE KNEW MEANING TO PHOTOGRAPHY. UELSMANN HAS A VERY CREATIVE MIND AND PIECES TOGETHER WHAT HE WANTS TO GET ACORSS TO HIS VIEWERS.
CREATING A NEW WORLD IN WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE USE OF PHOTO. HE IS CONSTANTLY THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX AND HE IS TRUE TO HIMSELF AND DOESN’T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS MAY THINK OF HIS TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY. HE MAY HAVE HIS OWN MEANING TO HIS WORK
BUT THE MAGNIFICENTS OF HIS WORK ALLOWS THE VIEW TO HAVE THEIR OWN IDEAS OF WHAT IT MAY MEAN.
