Lesson 10Hockney Joiners Part Two
Now you have leaned how to shoot a Hockney joiner and paste it together with glue, the way the artist did. Lets have a look at an alternative process to make a joiner. Photoshop Photoshop allows us a high level of accuracy and an almost limitless potential to change our images. Here we will use this ability to recreate a Hockney Joiner digitally. The results will be very different to the analogue method but hopefully equally worthwhile. |
David Hockney Joiners
Joiner photography was originally created using film cameras. Photographers such as David Hockney would take multiple photographs on 35mm film cameras. They would then process and print them. A joiner photo would be created by physically positioning the photos on a larger canvas and sticking them together.
