David Hockney

David Hockney created a series of images called the joiners which were small polaroid photos arranged into one composite piece. because these images were taken at different times the images play with your mind because there is something that your eye cannot focus on David Hockney created many of these from landscapes to portraits using this Joiner style.





My images in this sytle

I Have tried to do two images in this style the first one i think works better than the other because it is more visually appealing and interesting. it isnt on the same scale as david hockneys which uses many more pictures than mine and since mine is one image split into 3 it isn't as good.

The David Hockney example that i have put up is in color while mine are in black and white with a black border but i think both work well and i don't think i could say one or the other is more visually appealing.

David Hockneys images are part of a series while mine are just single images split into many different parts.
Also His images are small polaroid images combined together to make one photography while mine is alot bigger and could be scaled up to an A3 print size if it was needed to be.


David Hockneys images aren't manipulated in any way other than putting them down on paper to create the composition they were taken at different times to play with the eye. while mine were converted to black and white with adobe lightroom 3.3 and a vignette was added aswell. then it was brought into photoshop and split into 3 then borders were added.

Our images differ in Subject but they both share the same principal of it being one image split into different pieces.
