Uelsmann (born June 11, 1934) is an American photographer and was an early exponent of photomontage in the 20th century in America.
His work in darkroom effects foreshadowed the use of Adobe Photoshop to make surrealistic images in the late 20th century, a process led by his ex-wife, Maggie Taylor, at that time.
He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1967, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1972, and the Lucie Award in Fine Art in 2015.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, a founding member of The Society of Photographic Education.
