As I was working on my assignment for lifestyle photography I found myself thinking of David Hockney the entire time. I also found that with frustrations of technology it may have been even more beneficial to be David Hockney and use non-digital cameras, film, and poloroids to build a collage.
David Hockney is known for his work in collage of numerous photos to create one image. It becomes even more amazing when you try and attempt the same thing. It is very difficult (especially if hand holding your camera) to remain steady and take the propper series of photos that will create one work.
Hockney wears many hats in the art world. As seen on his website, he has had numerous shows not only for his work with photography but also with his drawings, paintings, set design, etc.
I feel that there is a certain marriage of media and art that can be accomplished if you set your mind to it. Not only could our lifestyle collages be considered advertisement but with the proper elements and design they could very easily enter the art relm. It is kind of fun to contemplate. Enjoy....
