Hockney Style Joiners



Hey guys! This week in G.T class were learning how to make images David Hockney's way. An example of one of his photos called the desk on the side. I'll link the source down below.( This technique is also called joiners/photomontages.) Basically taking different pictures of the same object in different angles and perspectives. Then you edit all of them into one cut up photo. In the end it looks really cool but can look a little confusing. So this week i'm supposed to tell you how my photomontages are different from David Hockneys. Davids is more abstract and taken at many different angles. he takes about all of the ways you could look at the object and puts it into one. That's what really makes it eye catching because you've never seen this before. Since i'm just a beginner my photomontages are pretty basic they just look really cut up. I want to try taking the photos at different times and at different perspectives so it's more abstract. Hopefully I can improve so my photomontages can be as good as his.

Most of you guys have an Instagram.....(kaile_smiley ;D ) Or if you don't at least a google plus, and if you don't have any social media then you have probably seen photos on google images. Every photo has a message, a strong one, helpful, sad, or positive. Some are abstract some aren't. Most of my photos I like to send a bright positive message, but how can you tell? Think of the mood in the photo... Is it gray and not very vibrant? Maybe a sad or mysterious message. Do the colors pop, bright lighting and adventurous setting? Maybe they're trying to send a motivational message. Everything in the photo counts. Even what you take a photo of. Most of the time I see positive pictures on Instagram, people posting about their recent activities, hanging out with friends, or just being motivational. Yet sometimes I also see negative photos. Dark, blurry photos of people staring at the camera, or just the reflection of a flash in the mirror. I know it doesn't sound negative but if you think about it, it could be. Usually the caption gives it away. ((Emojis)) Sometimes there is very explicit negative photos. People killing each other, or bombs or things that shouldn't even exist. Never send bad photos to people, it could really hurt them. Anywho, I think it's time to move on.


At last, time for that final paragraph to talk about my final photo montage. Photo montages are really confusing but really abstract and cool. For my photo montage I took a picture of a fruit stand that's by my street. I definitely took too much photos. ( 146 ) I want to send a positive, healthy, motivational, and inspiring you to become more healthy by eating fruit.
The one of on the right is of Andrew is my school photo. (Sorry that your head is wayyyy bigger than the rest of you.) This is also showing that I like to keep a healthy life style and how important it is to be healthy. I also wanted to tell you that I REALLY like fruits and vegetables... they may be even better than meat! I want this photo to inspire you to think twice about what's in your food that your eating and to (possibly) not eat it anymore! I know it can be a huge struggle... (Especially when you need that ice cream! ) Although you will definitely feel better. I hope you guys like my photo montage and get that message! That's all for now see you in my next blog post!
