David Hockney.

David Hockney is an surreal artist, creating many many unusual images. His style reminds many of mosiacs, as his "joiners" are made from a large number of different images pieced together, sort of like a jigsaw.
He must be a very patient man to sit and put together such incredible works of art such as the one below..


I love this image, there is so much detail in there and its so precisely done. The image looks so normal, like an average photograph but it clearly isn't, I have no idea how this perception has been done but it is unique and very interesting. There isn't really any clear framing because there are so many smaller images in there.

After looking at the above image and many more I decided to try some of my own. Not half as successful as Hockneys though.


When attempting a joiner it helps to photograph the entire subject. This is a lesson i learnt the hard way.. Though it wasn't till I started joining I realised I had missed a chunk out.


My second attempt was clearly more successful and yet it was a harder subject. I love this one though because it looks panoramic even though it is made from several chunks of photos.
