Image Bank - Multiple Imagery

Because we studied Photo-Joiner in depth during Unit 1 of Photography, I have decided to focus more on the grid-style of Multiple Imagery because this is something more new to me. The use of the multiple imagery technique is useful for making intricate patterns within a photo or showing different details and angles of a specific object. The different images can be put back together again to make a logical image which looks visually interesting because of the changes made, or in a non-chronological order which gives the viewer different focal points to look at. The majority of these images above are actually from a previous A2 student because this technique isn't often explored that well. 

My favourite image out of all six of these is the very first image of the sea. It is clearly the same photo taken at a variety of different times, which makes the photo look interesting because of the contrast in colours as the image progresses from left to right. I enjoy how you can see in this photo the change in lighting, as it gets darker towards the end of the photo, and is a usful example to me of contrasts. I like this particular technique also because of the actual shape of the imagery, as the majority of them do appear in a grid, whereas I like how this is created using vertical strips of images and could go on continuously if the photographer wanted. This is also useful as it helps to guide the viewer in the preferred direction whereas with grid multiple imagery pieces, the viewer won't know exactly where to look.

 

The very last image of the owl pocket watch is interesting because the photographer has really thought about the different angles that this object could possibly be looked at, including the inside and the outside. What draws my attention to this particular image out of all of them is the choice in using a sepia colour effect rather than black and white like the rest of the grid multiple imagery pieces. I think it brings out a certain characteristic about the particular object, making it much more eye-catching and interesting. I also like how the photographer has placed the different photos accordingly in the grid so that they themselves make a pattern, with the owl images down the centre, the floral pattern to the side of the central owl and then the clock faces at different angles in each corner.
