Final Photomontages

 

Here we have my two photomontages which were inspired by the famous photographer, David Hockney. These are what he calls "joiners". To make these joiners, we used digital cameras to take at least 15 separate pictures of one scene. Before transferring our pictures into our computers, we had to make sure that the pictures that we took are clear and not blurry.

After transferring our pictures into our computer, we edited them in Camera Raw on Adobe Bridge. We made sure that our pictures were vibrant and eye- catching. We then went into Photoshop to start putting our pictures together.

In Photoshop, we put border lines around our pictures and made sure the corners weren't rounded, but at a point. Then, we had to put our pictures together. When we out our pictures together, we had to make sure not to make it look too neat. When David Hockney made his joiners, he made them so that they were abstract. We put our pictures together and turned them so they were not perfectly straight.

Making these were a lot of fun. I actually enjoyed learning about joiners and David Hockney. I hope to maybe more about these one day and maybe even learn more about David Hockney and the type of work that he does.
