Connecting Essay 3

This photograph was taken for my unit 'Personal Comment' this is because it shows the personal comment of nature. The idea of editing these photographs in a photo joiner is because it allows the consumers to identify the two sides of nature. The left being the beauty of nature through the bright pinks and fresh green's in contrast with the wilted and dead nature with the duel lifeless colours. The photo joiner format creates this photograph to show the personal comment of nature in a more exciting and different way. It also combines both sides together without a direct line in the middle so that the consumers have to figure out how nature relates to persona comment. This photograph was a long process and in order to get each photograph the same size I had to change each image size then either change the hue and saturation for the right side and brighten the left side of the photograph using levels and curves. After this had been done I then dragged each individual photograph into its place to form a whole photograph using individual ones. This photograph looks three dimensional this is because I had taken each individual photograph from the one side to the other creating a semi circle. This made this photograph look very realistic.

This photograph was taken and edited by the photographer 'David Hockney' and is presented in a photo joiner. This photograph contains very neutral colours and has the main focus of nature as the two trees are very close up that stand out from the background. This photograph also shows the formal element of depth as parallel convergence is used to show the length of the street. Further more this photograph has been very well constructed as you can see the whole photograph as well as each individual photograph. David Hockney was best known for his collages known as photo joiner and this is one that he has created brilliantly as the photographs are very sharp in quality.

Both of these photographs connect because they both have been presented in the technique of photo joiner. Also both photo joiners are very creative and show clearly each individual photograph put together to make a stunning image. They both also use nature in the photographs that stand out by the vibrant colours and three dimensional effect. This is because both photographs have been taken from the side and round to make the photograph look real.
