Different Photography Techniques

Photo joining:

Joiner Photography is the method of using multiple photos of the same thing and creating an image out of it.

Certain people will use photos that are all similar to create one continuous image, whereas other people will use the same photo of things but there all slightly different to create a single image with many different elements to it. This method was invented by David Hockney in the 1970’s, this way of developing images was revolutionary especially for the time, nobody had seen anything like this before.

David Hockney did this because he was interested to see how we depict space and time, he started this by using 24 polaroids and overlapping all of them to create a new image, this not only affected his photography, it also affected his paintings and his art.

Worms/Rats eye view:

“Worms eye view” is very similar to “Rats eye”, they both have a different viewpoint of the scene/subject which gives the image a unique perspective, but unlike “Rats eye”, “Worms eye” is usually an upwards shot rather than a floor level image. Just like “Rats eye”, the worm is considered an outdoor creature which is why the images usually taken are outdoors and making smaller plants e.g daisies, and making them appear bigger.

A “Rat's Eye Perspective” is a different style of takings photos from a low level looking up at a

subject, usually a floor level photo. Because rat are considered urban animals the scenes in the photos are usually include urban areas, big cities etc. this is a technique that isn’t used very much, but will instantly make a mundane/ordinary subject or area have a more unique feel and look to the image, and adds a perspective that isn’t usually seen.
