Joiners Straight Images / Work Diary -

Joiners -  
The below images were taken by me using a Canon EOS 450D and edited using Photoshop CC 2014. These images study personal identity and the distortion of identity within individuals minds. For instance, the gas mask symbolises the need to protect oneself from the poisonous nature of society in influencing who we are and how we are composed in our individual identities.





Joiners Landscape -
All of these images were taken using a Canon EOS 450D and were edited in Photoshop CC 2014. In today's session I chose to focus on the man made landscapes of the concrete jungle father than the natural landscapes. This is partly because I still wanted to include my identity of the local area of which is predominantly man made. Of the below images the top is my favourite due to the surreal nature of the photograph whilst the bottom is my least favourite for the joiners subject as it simply appears like a panoramic photograph. The middle image of the three is my second favourite as the light in each section of the joiner varies and is evidence of gamut range.








Progression - 

To improve from this extra shoot I would create another small series under both studio and landscape. Also, I would also increase the 'Brightness/ Contrast' in editing to make the images lighter. The second studio image could have been more revolutionary as I used one base image and added a few simple layers over.

David Hockney - 
David Hockney uses both the human form and many other subjects in his works. Hockney began to produce these photo collages which he then called 'joiners'. He began his work by starting in the medium of polaroid photographs then later moving on to other forms.















Various Flickr Photographers - 
The following joiner photographers were taken by photographers Alex Lowman, Elliot Dawson and Matthijs Rouw.
