Photo collage

One thing I absolutely love is photo collages. It's something I've tried before and an artist that I find exceptionally brilliant in this field is David Hockney. The tree pieces here are my favourites of his. He does a variety of different work however since this week is collage I thought I'd post these. In all three pieces theres a lot of thought that goes into each composition and how each photo is connected to the others. I love his use of different methods of capturing a scene.

In this one he captures pictures from a direct frontward angle, then rotates or overlaps images to create the overall composition.

In this piece he uses a similar way of capturing photos, the piece looks flat but still manages to have depth in it.

In this piece he manages to create a still life of a chair and forms it in a way that one would view it from many angles at once.

In each photo collage there would have to be much thought into how each photo would play a part in the overall composition, and I love the way this is seen in each of the final compostitons
