David Hockney is an English painter, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. He is an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s and is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. In the 1980s, Hockney began to produce photo collages, also known as "joiners". At first, he used Polaroid prints and subsequently 35mm. commercially processed color prints. Hockney arranged the numerous photos to create a complete, composite image
To create the Hockney-like composites, I first took a series of pictures of one, complete scene, each photo containing a different portion of the whole scene. For example: take a picture of the top corner of the scene and work your way across until you have taken pictures of enough segments to create the composite. Then all you have to do is crop/ scale each picture and move/ align them to create a complete composition.
