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
