I chose these photographers because whilst they both take
photos of landscapes, their approaches - and therefore results - are completely
different.
David Hockney creates his collages by taking multiple photos
of the same subject from different angles and then sticks them together to
create the full landscape. Hockney’s collages are very colourful and the
viewers’ eye is drawn to the different parts of the collage which are often
mini photos in their own right. I think there can be quite a lot to look at/
find in his collages which make them more interesting.
Soraya on the other hand uses one photograph of a landscape to create her beautiful photos, very often involving amazingly still water which creates a serene atmosphere and incredible reflections in the water. The photos with the misty atmosphere give a sense of mystery which I really like. Soraya’s photographs are either black and white or monochrome which in itself adds interest to the photos.
Margaret Soraya’s photos are mostly empty with little or no
movement whereas David Hockney’s photo collages are full of life and energy. I
like both of these styles and if they were put together I think they would
create a really nice balance between Hockney’s energetic, lively pieces and
Soraya’s more peaceful, contemplative photographs.
It was interesting researching the different photographers
and comparing their techniques. I look forward to trying out both of their
techniques in the future.
