1. Task 1 - Case Study
David Hockney - David Hockney, was
born 9 July 1937 is an English
painter, draughtsman, printmaker,
stage designer and photographer. He
lives in Bridlington, East Riding of
Yorkshire, and Kensington, London.
Hockney maintains two residences in
California, where he lived on and off
for over 30 years: one in Nichols
Canyon, Los Angeles, and an office
and archives on Santa Monica.
This type of imagery I would of said is more of a historical type of photography as it doesn’t
use tools from programs such as Photoshop it is made up of a collage of the same image
with different shapes and sizes cut out from it to remake the first picture but with a
different style.
Fred Holland Day - Fred Holland Day was born
Boston July 8, 1864 - November 12, 1933 was
an American photographer and publisher. He
was the first in the U.S.A. to advocate that
photography should be considered a fine art.
This style of photography is a use of
collaborating photographs but making them
seem as one using shadows which gives the
perception of the picture to be dark or at least
has the potential to be.

2. Jerry Uelsmann -Uelsmann was born in Detroit,
Michigan. While attending public schools, at the age
of fourteen, there sparked an interest in
photography. He believed that through photography
he could exist outside of himself, to live in a world
captured through the lens. Despite poor grades, he
managed to land a few jobs, primarily photographs of
models. Uelsmann is a master printer, producing
composite photographs with multiple negatives and
extensive darkroom work. He uses up to a dozen
enlargers at a time to produce his final images, and
has a large archive of negatives that he has shot over
the years. The negatives that Uelsmann uses are
known to reappear within his work, acting as a focal
point in one work, and background as another.
From the photos I have seen he sticks to the use of black and white giving a dark perception
of the image. And in some
of the pictures it does look
like a scene from a horror
film, but I think its mainly
to show off shadowing in
different pictures and to
show the light breaking
through and looks better
than the original colours
occasionally as it can show
more, To me the theme of these images is the dark side of
peoples imagination or dreams some how the imagery is
portrayed.
I want to create images of sorts like these as it is a mixed of light
and dark but mine wouldn’t seem as negative or as dark as these sorts of photographs. But I
want to be using the same sorts of key parts of making these style of experimental
photography.
