3. Uelsmann’s style Focused a lot of negative space as he loved to set a lot of his photographs inside dark rooms Many of his works are composed of multiple negatives, which produces a very mysterious feel His works are also very spiritual, symbolic, and surreal Being a surrealist photographer, he did not care too much about sharing reality, but rather what he saw in his imagination In a lot of his works, he forces viewers to use their own imagination and allows them to have their own interpretations for his work
