David Hockney Inspired Collage

Inspired by David Hockney

Coming into this project I was unsure about what I was going to photograph. For my portrait piece I decided to take photos of my friend Poonam Bhavsar. First I took a photo of the whole area I was going to use for the collage. Then I took about 50 pictures at different distances. When putting this together I completed the outline of the photo area and then filled in her face. I did not want the photos to match up perfectly and I also wanted each feature to be repeated.
For the landscape photo I took pictures of the shed in my backyard. I had the same process for this project. Each of the photos came out so differently that it made the collage look even better. The different exposure of each photo really makes this piece different for the portrait.

  1. The landscape is lovely, well done. However with the figure- GET CLOSER! The stairs make for an interesting backdrop but we do not need the outlet switch, it's not important and doesn't add to the composition.

  2. I really like the first picture. For the most part, all of the pieces have the same lighting, except for a few of them, but I like that about the picture. I also think it was an interesting scene, because to me it’s something different. I think it was a successful piece.
    The second picture I think also came out successful. I like the fact that there are different pieces of her face all over rather than making it like a puzzle and connecting together. The only thing I think is that there should’ve been more focus on the person in the picture and less background in the image.
