Hockney Joiner

David Hockney is a famous artist and photographer. He was painting a picture of a room, but was running out of time so he decided to take multiple photos of the room as one big photo would make it look disorted. He would then stick all of these photos together to create his image.. He coutinued to do this and this trick is now know as the Hockney Joiner.
This is one of David Hockney photos, called pearblossom highway, I don't know when this photo was taken but it is on a road looking down into the horizon. I think that this Hockney took this photo when he was travelling. This photo looks really unusual because he has taken lots of photos of every little thing in which could of been one photo, and put then back together slightly differently, which makes it look a little distorted
In this photo Hockney uses the same joiner technique but in a different way. unlike the previous image where he shows exactly what he was seeing, in this images he creates a distorted effect and it doesn't really look like one image. It looks as if he was in the same position while the photos were being taken at every different angle. he then placed these so that you can see every part of the subjects face from all angles. I think that the distorted effect makes the image look as if it almost moving.

Final images

This is the first of my final images and is by far my favourite... To achieve this photo I took a load of photos of different coloured benches around the school then I put them into Photoshop and put them on top of each other, I then revealed lined strips of different parts of different photos to make it look like I had cut images up in strips and stuck them down. This isn't the same has David Hockney did, was an experiment of mine and is based on his idea.

I think that this plant pot image is really striking because of the bright colours. each plant pot was one bright solid colour and when put opposite to each other proves really effective. The last three images worked really well as they all had a fence in the background but the first photo didn't fit in as well.

This the second of my images and is probably the most detailed. To get this photo I randomly placed a bunch of different objects onto a table and took photos. I took photos of plant pots, drinking bottles, little pots and even sticks. The left side of the photo fitted really well but the further right of the image the more distorted it gets. I think that because of some of the image is fitted together while the other half is distorted it creates for a bit of a confusing effect. This could either be a benefit of the image or for some people a negative effect. With this image the line of sight is to the top of the image because of the way the bottles are facing and the lines separating the four different images. I could of used this to my advantage, but I have some distraction at the top of the image that shouldn't be there. I have accidently photographed the floor in the top left and part of the other table going across the top of the image. I could of eliminated this distraction by standing on a chair when taking the photo to create a more birds eye view which would of made sure I would of only got what I wanted in the photo.

This is the last of my images and is very simple, I just took a couple different photos of one bench and put them together to make one, I used different exposures to create a shaded light to dark effect. this could be improved as the car in the background has appeared twice and this could be distracting.
Out of my four images taken, only two of them turned out well. Both of these images were of the same objects but of different colours, I then put together the different objects but tried to make it look like there was nothing changed. I think this effect worked really well and I am now going to extend on this idea.
