What is a 3d photo sculpture?
Three-dimensional art sculptures are works of art that present the dimensions of height, width, and depth. They occupy physical space and can be perceived from all sides and angles. Traditional types of three-dimensional media, like sculptures and reliefs, are some of the oldest examples of 3D artwork.

Artist reference: Robert Heinecken
Robert Heinecken was an American artist who referred to himself as a “paraphotographer” because he so often made photographic images without a camera. Heinecken was known for appropriating and re-processing images from magazines, product packaging or television. In the late 1960s, he also began cutting up popular magazines such as Time and Vogue and inserting sexual or pornographic images into them. He would place his collage-publications back on newsstands in Los Angeles to be sold to unsuspecting buyers. In the 1980s, he created several series on American news television that involved photographing images on the television or exposing the light of a television set directly to paper to create what he called “videograms.”
Examples of his work:
My 3d Photo Sculpture
To begin, I created a sculpture out of 4 pieces of foam board including the same photo of a rock in multiple different colours. I used knifes and glue to cut out and bring it all together. After seeing the final outcome I wasn’t very happy with it and thought it looked a bit washed so I decided to start a new sculpture.
Bad 1st sculpture
I created my sculpture using foam board, images of rocks, glue and tape. I cut out 4 rectangles of foam board with all the same measurements and positioned them in a symmetrical way. I then stuck down my images of rocks on my 4 cut-outs of foam board. After the glue dried I experimented with how to put it all together. After multiple attempts at getting the best outcome I ended up with 2 right angled images on top of 2 other right angle images.
Overall, I am happy with the way my second sculpture turned out. I like the way the grey images of rocks contrast against the white foam board and the white stand and walls. When creating another sculpture I am going to follow the same technique of using black and white images on the white foam board. Also, I like the way the four images used on each square represents different parts of St Ouens and shows the different kind of rock formations .
