David Hockney

These pieces by David Hockney are very inspirational. I was always so fascinated when photographers would join many pictures together to create a photograph of something.

Here is a few of his pieces..

Diptychs and Triptychs

Diptychs are when two images that are the same photograph or two different photographs placed side by side to create one artistic statement.

Printing on Tile

One of my self-portraits, that I made in photography class, I wanted to work with tile because I got inspired by another's piece of work.
I began by printing out a picture of my choice on Waterslide Decal Paper for Laser Printers. After printing the paper I placed it in warm water to get the transparent paper to slide off so that I could then transfer it on my tile and simply cut the paper as it was drying on the tile.

Famous Artist's Self-Portraits

 These are a few Self-Portraits that I though were very beautiful.

The silhouette of the women is by far my favorite. I would like to take photos like that for my next project.

 

Laina Briedis

Laina Briedis is a passionate photographer that has been taking photos from a young age. Although she does not work much with layering negatives, I found a couple photos of hers that she had layered her negatives and they are very artistic and creative.

 I have found in her portfolio photographs of layered negatives that are portraits which are perfect examples of what I would like to focus on.

Jerry Uelsmann

Jerry Uelsmann is a known photographer to layer his photographs, creating different effects in his photos. His photographs are much different from most. He says that the surreal and spirituality of people and of this world inspired him to create most of his images.

These are a few pictures that I favored from his collection that he has posted on his web-site.
