David Hockney part 2

Whilst doing research for this post I discovered that there are a huge number of people who use, or at least experiment with, David Hockney's photo-collage style. After looking at some images of these collages, I tried a few of my own which I really enjoyed piecing together from all the different photos I took.  Not all of the ones I used as inspiration were actually Hockney's but I did like his collage of Merced River.


Merced River,Yosemite Valley, Sept. 1982

The following collages (in Hockney's style but not by the artist/photographer himself) also inspired me:

For my first collage I decided to use photos of a tree near our house.

I then experimented using photos of a couple of lights at the college:

I do like the look of these images but I think the tree looked better so next time I will try using other, more natural objects.


I then tried using photos of one of our cats, Tortie, and Ashiestiel Bridge  .

I really enjoy using this style and look forward to continuing exploring the possibilities of this photo-collage technique.
