Connection Essay Three

This photograph created by David Hockney uses a multiple imagery grid to divide its contents into smaller section and a photo joiner technique in order to bring the photograph together to created a multiple imagery piece. The audience can see an old man sitting in a chair and because he is  alone and not really doing anything, this allows the audience to interpret the photograph as they look at it. The use of the tilling effect is a alternative editing technique to use to take a Multiple Imagery grid and make it look unique to other photographer work. The photo joiner techniques can also be seen in this photograph as each square does not match together perfectly. The colours within the image again, remain quite neutral and the image is intriguing due to the slight colour that has been added to the image in small sections which allows them to stand out slightly from the rest.




This is an example of my own work and i have created a multiple imagery grid in order to show the different rusted elements at North Weald Redoubt. Each individual square contains a close up which shows the small and intricate details of rusted cans, electric boxes and scrap metal. The way in which the grid is set out, it allows the audience to focus on one element at a time and therefore stops the photograph from looking too busy. The colour scheme contains mainly browns and reds which are the colours which you would associate with rusted objects, 


Overall both of these photographs connect as they both use a multiple imagery grid technique. This technique then allows the audience of both photographs to be able to look at each individual element of the photograph by looking at it a square at a time. This therefore stops the photograph from looking busy.
