David Hockney and Adde Adesokan are two of the worlds most renowned names in the photography industry, and after producing a case study and own imagery, inspired by both artists when studying photography at A-Level, I felt they’d portrayal a vital role within my degree and portfolio as they created photography styles that not many artists use today. These are known as Triptych and Joiner.
Adde Adesokan, is a German self-taught photographer to parents, whom are both of Nigerian descent and began his photograph career in 2010, after formerly working as a creative director.
Adesokan specialism is tailored mostly around street photography for the reason being this may be due to how audiences perceive his work, however states on his website ” I do believe in photographic skill, vision and a will of constant improvement” which to me, means he’s not really got a specific genre as long as an image demonstrates those three important components quoted.
In the gallery imported below, are some examples of his work displayed in his “Triptychs of Strangers” portfolio
David Hockney, was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, 1937 and is recognized for more than just his photography. Also a painter, draftsman and stage designer, Hockney is visualised and respected as a contributor to the Pop Art Movement of the 1960s as well as considered to be an influential British artist of the 20th century.
The Hockney work I’ve been inspired by is his Joiners, a photographic technique that involves overlapping images, and removing certain sections of the top layer, or cutting out a specific image and piecing back together in an overlapped way as shown in the gallery sample below.
Here is an example of a David Hockney inspired joiner piece, however instead of using photoshop, I printed off a digital copy which I then cut into sections before overlapping them, creating this unusual, deformation outcome.
