David Hockney Style - Analogue/Digital (Experiment 1) (mock)

Experiment 1

For this experiment I have used the technique from David Hockney, where he takes multiple photographs of the same object, then splits them up into many chunks and fits them all back together into a very interesting image. Here is an example of this and personally my favourite:


As you can see, the technique is very interesting, and most definitely unique.


For my first experiment, I used elements of David Hockney's style, by taking chunks of photographs, except I only used one photograph. The final image consists of two pictures; one being analogue (Ricoh Film camera) and one being digital (DSLR). I came up with the idea because I wanted to combine an old styled photograph with a modern photograph. I liked the outcome as the 'old' photograph is dull and fairly blurry with chunks of the 'modern', sharp, vibrant photograph over the top of it. The effect is almost as-if the modern photo is revealing what the 'old' photograph might have looked like in person.
