Connecting Essay #5

David Hockney 

In this image Hockney has created a photo joiner, which means he takes pictures of the same place however with different zooms and then places them all back together again so that the recreates the object/setting/person that he was originally looking at. Here Hockney has done a photo joiner of a setting and I love the way he hasn't really left any gaps and allows the images to repeatedly overlap each other as it makes the image look like a physical collage of which he has cut pictures out of a magazine and stuck them back together again. This image reminds me of a parisian street due to this effect.

In this image I created  photo joiner of Marble Arch in London, in this picture I really changed the oohs making some of the individual pictures really bigger than the others, I think this is quite abstract and makes image quite interesting to look at. I didn't edit the pictures separately because I didn't want their to be too much editing within this image ad for it too be overbearing, I think it worked by only distorting the image through the use of photo joiner. I have placed the images where they are meant to be on the actual structure of Marble Arch as I think it makes the place recognisable.

Both of these images connect because of the technique of photo joiner, they also connect because we have both chosen to do a photo joiner of a setting as opposed to a photo joiner of objects or people. we have both eliminated gaps within the photo joiner mainly, leaving only edgy sides to the pictures.
