Joiners

These are my two joiner photographs, based on the work of David Hockney. I took many photos, some zoomed in to get detail and some showing the whole face/place, then made them a lot smaller, and fit them together to make a whole image to show the detail of the image as well as the big picture.

This is one of my photos that I used for my ceramics project, its of brusho in a clear glass of water. I think that using a similar technique I could get some quite interesting photographs/photograms.

This is a human photogram by Mark Magnan (you wouldn't believe how many photographers have that name but AREN'T HIM.) I haven't found out the method of these photograms yet, but i think they're absolutely beautiful, I love how they look like they've almost been painted, with such dark areas in contrast to the lighter areas that are the body. They look almost ghost like, in a way. Every time I look back to them I can find one more detail in them that I hadn't noticed before; and thats why I consider it a good photogram, because you keep looking back to it to see if you can find out more about it.

This is a photogram of tadpoles, using flash on coloured photographic paper.
I really like this piece because it shows the silhouette of each tadpole in detail, and because they're so clumped together into tiny spaces, it makes you search for detail, and leads your eye around the edge of the jar, noticing different aspects of the photogram each time. I also like how you can define which tadpole is older than the other because of all the detail you can see. I think it would be interesting to try something similar, but instead of using tadpoles, using frogspawn, to see how detailed a photogram I could get of something so tiny. 
Looking at this photogram brought back memories of when I was a little kid and I used to play with my cousin and try and catch tadpoles, which I is why this photogram has such an impact on most people who see it, because its nostalgic, and makes you see things clearer than as if they were in a memory.

This is a photogram by Adam Fuss, it is done by using a flash onto coloured photographic paper. To achieve this photogram, he used a baby placed in water.
I really like this piece, the use of flash makes everything clear and crisp, and shows the distortion of objects through rippled water really beautifully. I would love to experiment with objects in water using flash, maybe including profiles of faces? 

First day photographs, relating to richard wentworth. 'Drizzle'.
