My own photomontage

This is my own piece of photomontage in the style of David Hockney, as you can see it is not up to the same standard although I have had ago. To begin with I took lots of photos of around abouts the same place some zoomed in and out using different angle shots and then in the end to be putting them all together. At first this seemed to be quite easy putting the images togther but as I put more images together I found it harder and harder to get the affect from the image just been put in, you have to move all the layers around to get them showing in the right place and making sure that its not very clear that it has been placed and doesnt look weird. This is my first attempt at The David Hockney and would like to have another go to see if I can improve my work and to make it look good.

David Hockney

This is a piece of work by David Hockney, this is using the same technique as Martha Rosler but instead he has used lots of differents photos of the same landscape to create one. David Hockney is an English painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer and photographer, who is based in Bridlington, Yorkshire, although he also maintains a base in London. An important contributor to the Pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century.

Martha Rosler

This image has been created by Martha Rosler who is using the technique of photomontage, as you can see she has used lots of different images and created one. Rosler works in video, photo-text, instalation, and performance, as well as writing about art and culture. Her work and writing have been widely influential. She has lectured extensively nationally and internationally and teaches art at Rutgers Univercity.

What is stop motion ?????

Stop motion is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. The first instance of the stop motion technique can be credited to Albert E. Smith and J.Stuart Blackton for The Humpty Dumpty Circus (1898), in which a toy circus of acrobats and animals comes to life. Now it is being used all the time in modern day.

Stop Motion Animation

This is a music video using stop motion. As you can see they have used the idea, you can see quite clearly that have taken seperate photos and combined they all together to create a video and that is the idea of doing it.

My Own Photomontage !

This is my own piece of photomontage that I have created, I took a picture of a train station and put across the idea of graffiti in the picture. As train stations always have some graffiti at them. This was my first one and the one below is the same but I put a filter on it just to make it look a little different but I have published both to show a difference. I like them both and feel I have achieved the task of photomontage of creating a meaning with the all the different objects all to doing with graffiti.

PHOTOMONTAGE

Here i have some examples of photomontage , photomontage consists of using lots of different images that are cut out or constructed digitally. These images are put together to make a narative or create a story of some sort, it is not just a group of photos put together.

Also the images are sometimes have a filter on them as you can see with the two i am displaying they both have filters just to create another effect.

The first image is a collection of clocks or watch faces put together to show a narative of time , maybe thinking more into it about past , present and future.

The second image to me seems as if it is a album cover for a CD, there is alot of images int his that relate to music and the people are the actual band or group. Also a range of colours are used.
