David Hockney

David Hockney, is a photographer and artist who I have decided to look at as one of the photographers for location photography. His work is different to most other photographers as his photographs are built up of many small photographs that built up to a larger photomontage. I like his works as he is creative with his choice of subject matter and he sometimes gives an almost a panoramic view. I did try this myself and it is much harder than it seems to be. The small images are often of different textures such as the blue of the sky or wood of the floor. Most of his photographs are buil up with many tiny images, he does not just take a small amount and it must take a long time to take so many photographs of each small details. I like his photography where he looks closely at people and how they move, there is one with a older man with a ciggerette and you can see how the face moves and how his expressions change. He doesn't use many styles but photomontage as in many other photographers will often look to get the perfect scene, I like how he photographs everyday scenes.
