I carried out some research about different photographers to get a brief idea about different styles and techniques. i used a website called www.thphotographyteacher.com , which had different types of photograpers.
I selected a photographer from abstract, i choose this certain type of photography because i was reall interested in some of the work photographers developed especially David Hockney who's work caught m eye first. I chose to Hockney's work because I found his work interesting by the way he sets his work out and the amount of detail he puts into his work.
I searched for other images of Hockney's work by using Google, and also search for some information about him as well on wikpedia so i could understand some of the things he was inspired by; see some of his ideas he has to create some of these photomontage.




David Hockney.

David Hockneys was born in 9th July 1937 and is currently still alive.

David's style of photography is mainly pop art, he also choses to paint most of his portraits. he also has been regarded as the 'playboy of the art world'.

In the eighties David then decided to turn his way of creating portraits and went from painting to photo collage. Hockneys became fascinated by seeing things through a window frame; Hockneys also art to express his feelings towards people he loved in his past.

hockney has taken pictures of all different things such as: portraits of people, different types of objects put together also pictures of the woods. with these pictures he has cut the image up and enlarged certain parts of the image and placed the image back to the way the imaged first looked. he also likes to add the detail of space around him or the sort of things happening around him.



this is one of David Hockneys collage of a man in his house sitting on a sofa. you can see the certain area's where he has enlarged and the way the image fits together; the detail behind the man.

WHILST DAVID WAS WORKING ON A PAINTING OF LOS ANGELES LIVING ROOM, HE DECIDED TO START TAKING PICTURES OF WHAT HE FOUND INSPIRED HIM A LOT. HE FIXED THEM TOGETHER IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STYLE SO HE COULD PAINT THE IMAGE.

WHEN HE FINISHED THE IMAGE AND PAINTED THE IMAGE. SINCE HOCKNEY CREATED THAT IMAGE HE HAS BEEN CREATING MORE IMAGES IN THE SORT OF SAME WAY AS THE FIRST ONE HE CREATED.

I like this picture because it shows that he really focused on everything and tried hard to put every piece of detail in.In this image our eyes focus maninly on the pathwa as it is in the centre of the picture also the amount of detail used it very bright and eye-catching.this image for me seems to be a very peacful place to go.
