David Hockney

David Hockney was born July 9, 1937 in Bradford. He is a portrait painter, draughtsman, engraver, decorator, photographer and theorist of British art. These photos look like a collage. it looks like he takes a picture, cuts it into several pieces and then reconstructs it differently way like a puzzle.

Hockney commented that photography is all right if you don’t mind looking at the world from the perspective of a paralyzed Cyclops for a fraction of a second. Her harsh opinion, however, changed when in February 1982 a curator visiting her home in the Hollywood Hills forgot a Polaroid movie and Hockney began experimenting with it, trying to capture the three dimensions of the surrounding reality. What was born of these experiments are the most amazing composite photographs/photocollages (you call it) that you will see in a long time.

My photos

I took pictures that I used for another work (portraits with differents lights) I use my favourites pictures from this work. I wanted to create a very fashionable style for my photos. I was inspired by David Hockney.

Plan

One thought on “photo-montage”

  1. Carmen, your series of portrait images in this post are really strong. Confident use of the studio and lighting. In addition the different angles and adjustments of expression etc are very playful and have a strong commercial/fashion orientation.

    See: Irving Penn – Vogue covers etc.
    In addition Chase Jarvis might interest you in different ways to photograph individuals in a studio setting.
