COPY RIGHT !

Without copyright it would be very unfair to the photographer! If i was to take a photo and copyright laws did not exist then anyone could use that photo without giving me credit or pay. They could even claim it as their own an get away with it!

Copyright lasts the life of the creator (the photographer in this case) plus 70 years.

Under law, it is the photographer who will own copyright on any photos he/she has taken, with the following exceptions:

If the photographer is an employee of the company the photos are taken for, or is an employee of a company instructed to take the photos, the photographer will be acting on behalf of his/her employer, and the company the photographer works for will own the copyright.
If there is an agreement that assigns copyright to another party.

In all other cases, the photographer will retain the copyright, if the photographer has been paid for his work, the payment will be for the photographer’s time and typically an allocated number of prints. The copyright to the photos will remain with the photographer, and therefore any reproduction without permission would be an infringement of copyright.

The purpose of registration is to ensure that you have proper, independently verifiable, evidence of your work. This ensures that if another party steals your photos you have solid evidence to prove your claim.

Without registration it can be very difficult, and often impossible, to prove your ownership if another person claims the photo belong to them.

As with all copyright work, you should first obtain permission from the copyright owner before you use someone else’s work.You should also be prepared to pay a fee, as many photographers will charge you for using their work.

Only the copyright owner, (or his/her authorised representative), can give permission, so you should contact the photographer, or his/her company, directly for consent. For images published on the Internet, it is typical to contact the webmaster of the site in the first instance, unless the site provides contact details for the owner of the images.

The copyright owner has no obligation to allow you to use their work, and can refuse permission for any reason.

Creating my 50+ Joiner photo

I had been out to take my photos for my final joiner photograph. I opened up photoshop, opened automate and selected Photomerge.  

Once in photomerge i selected "reposition" meaning that photoshop will put all of my pictures together in place, like a jigsaw. I then opened up all of the photos i had taken into photoshop and clicked "ok".

It took some time for photoshop to analyse all of the pictures and fit them together as there were so many pictures, even though i had taken them all in the smallest size! 

Photoshop had now repositioned all of the pictures for me and gave me my full joiner image. 

I then added in a new fill layer and chose solid colour so that i could create a background for around the edges of the joiner photo.

I chose to make the new fill layer black as i felt it was most suitable as it is not distracting and works best around the edges of the photo.

I have now put the solid colour fill layer in place as a border/background for the photo. I then decided to change the size of the photograph to make it smaller. This would mean it would take less time to upload onto the internet and take up less space.

Once i had resized the photo to a size i felt right, i saved the photo for wed devices. This means that the photo will be sized and already fitted for websites and uploading.

I then saved the picture to my desktop with the format "images only".

This is my Final image containing over 50+ photographs to create the joiner photograph. In the photo you can see that i took pictures of my legs and feet fro different angles. When photoshop added all of the photos together, the different angles of my legs confused it and therefore they were added as separate bodies. I could have chosen to edit this out of the photograph but i decided i quite liked the effect.

Diane Arbus research.

I think that this is a rather dramatic photograph, with strain of emotion and anger being shown through the boy. I think this because of how the boy is standing, he is confronting the camera. The way he is tensing and clenching his hand gives the impression of frustration and the grenade gives me the impression of anger and hate.

Final 50+ Joiner photograph

For my final picture i will be using over 50 photographs combined to create a joiner photo.
I am going to use the atrium as my landscape with the trees included, i will also be including my feet in to the photo.
When taking the photo i will need to keep the photos on a small format. This makes sure the finished photo is not too large a file and it will be quicker to upload and manage.
When i went out to take the photos i ended up taking a lot more than i expected. When i got back and tried to upload them all into a joiner photo but there were too many photos and the computer could not do it.
I am going to have to go back down and re-take the photos, making sure that this time i take less.

Photography joiner of faces

This is a joiner photo using 5 different pictures of friends i then cropped a strip from each face and fitted them all together.

The difference between Photomontage and joiner

PhotoMontage 

The technique of making a picture by assembling pieces of photographs, often in combination with other types of graphic material.
Technique by which a composite photographic image is formed by combining images from separate photographic sources

Joiner
involves the use of two or more separately taken images of a single scene to create a larger one by physically overlapping them or by digitally merging them. It differs from montage photography in that it looks to expand the area of view of the photograph as opposed to insert several elements into a given picture frame. From this point on there are many directions to take the image in terms of shape, viewpoints, subject, narrative, time and style. These all involve more personal choices by the creator and provide the potential for a more intimate and individually driven photograph.

Polaroid joiner

I took these photos in the studio using two light box's placed on the left and right hand side of the model.  

I took a series of photographs of different areas of the model with the plan to join them up for the end product. I took 7 photos for this joiner but I only chose to use 5 as it was too crowded with photos and the other two pictures did not fit in. I used a Polaroid software which creates polaroid style images from, digital files. 

For this joiner i wanted to create more of a collage/jigsaw style where it has just been matched up to create the full picture. 

This joiner is more formal and set up in a way where you have to imagine the pictures together yourself. It creates a very different view on the end product. It becomes more of a display rather than an end image.

Using Polaroid has given my photos different colours that do not match one another and in a joiner photo i want to make the photos all join up so it looks like one whole picture but with the photos being different colours this is a lot less effective because they dont look like a part of the same photo.

3D cubism

Just like cubist painting the style is rooted in reduction of painted objects into component planes and geometric solids (cubes, cones, spheres and cylinders). According to Herbert Read this has the effect of "revealing the structure" of the object or of presenting fragments and facets of the object to be visually interpreted in different ways. Both of these effects transfer to sculpture. The distinction between "analytic cubism" and "synthetic cubism" also holds true in sculpture. The definite purpose of the geometricization of the planes is to emphasize the formal structure of the motif represented. 

Fire hydron joiner

To make this joiner photograph i took alot of photos of this fire hydron stand and made sure i took them all at the same distance and angle. I then put together all of the photos to create the full picture like a jigsaw.

Joiner photography rooted from cubism

Cubism was a well-known artistic movement which happened in 1907 in France. It has expanded to inspire various different artists, and motivate different forms of this type of art such as photo joinery. The movement featured surfaces of geometrical planes and allowed paintings to become more realistic ironically, as this type of art can be described as abstract. Because the artist can draw the subject from different angles they are able to make it appear more 3-D and life-like. The key concept of cubism is being able to capture the essence and narrative of the object by seeing at different angles and points of view simultaneously. Two very well-known artists associated with Cubism were George Braque and Pablo Picasso as they developed this movement. Cubism was a massive influence to the more-modern movement of photo-joinery. Both art forms allow the viewer to sense narrative and a change in time. The artist’s capture changes through the different angles and view points that are positioned together and create a simultaneous perspective. They differ as one is painted and the other is printed but they share the same aspects. JOINERY – ROOTED FROM CUBISM

My montage/joiner photo's

These are my attempts at joiner photography. I found that it was better to take as many photos as you can rather than few. You also need to stay at the same angle and zoom if you want the photos to it together neatly.

Picasso and Georges Braque cubism work

Picasso

Think about what was going on in the world throughout his life. War, poverty, depression, drugs, etc... At the same time look into his own life and try to relate the two. Art is an expression and inspiration for artists is what surrounds them. The meaning of his work is more of an opinion since you can not ask Picasso himself so no answer will be wrong.

All of Picasso's work is very unique and different. He has made his images very obscure as to what they could be representing or what the meaning behind them may be. We know that his art was a form of his own expressions. The image is made up of a variation of shapes and different colours to make a large scale picture. You have to be creatively minded in order to work out what is going on in some of his photos.

In this image he has created an image of a woman and she looks to be holding a cloth to her face or a piece of  paper and screwing it up and biting down on it with what i feel is anxiety or heartfelt pain. He has created an image over an image, im not sure how to describe it but you are able to see her face and hands on or through the cloth/handkerchief.

Picasso's work comes across very much like a photo montage!

Georges Braque

His work is less creative and wacky compared to Picasso's work but it is still unique! George Braque has chosen to create his paintings with an end product of looking more painted and sketched out where as Picasso has made an end product more of an image.

In George Braque's first painting you are able to see the brush strokes very well and the painting comes across a little like a joinery photograph!

His work is easily under stood and does not come across as if it were an expression of his own feelings they are more just paintings or drawings that maybe he has seen in real life like the first picture.

cubism photography

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literatureand architecture. In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.

Synthetic Cubism was the second main movement within Cubism that was developed by Picasso, Braque, Juan Gris and others between 1912 and 1919. Synthetic cubism is characterized by the introduction of different textures, surfaces, collage elements, papier collé and a large variety of merged subject matter. It was the beginning of collage materials being introduced as an important ingredient of fine art work.

Considered the first work of this new style was Pablo Picasso's "Still Life with Chair-caning" (1911–1912), which includes oil cloth that was printed to look like chair-caning pasted onto an oval canvas, with text; and rope framing the whole picture. At the upper left are the letters "JOU", which appear in many cubist paintings and refer to the newspaper titled Le Journal. Newspaper clippings were a common inclusion, physical pieces of newspaper, sheet music, and like items were also included in the collages. JOU may also at the same time be a pun on the French words jeu (game) or jouer (to play). Picasso and Braque had a friendly competition with each other and including the letters in their works may have been an extension of their game.

Whereas Analytic Cubism was an analysis of the subjects (pulling them apart into planes), Synthetic Cubism is more of a pushing of several objects together. Less pure than Analytic Cubism, Synthetic Cubism has fewer planar shifts (or schematism), and less shading, creating flatter space.

Photo montage and photo joinery

Photomontage is the process and result of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. A similar method, although one that does not use film, is realized today through image-editing software. This latter technique is referred to by professionals as "compositing", and in casual usage is often called "photoshopping".

Joiner Photography involves the use of two or more separately taken images of a single scene to create a larger one by physically overlapping them or by digitally merging them. It differs from montage photography in that it looks to expand the area of view of the photograph as opposed to insert several elements into a given picture frame. From this point on there are many directions to take the image in terms of shape, viewpoints, subject, narrative, time and style. These all involve more personal choices by the creator and provide the potential for a more intimate and individually driven photograph.
