06.01.2022 This term Year 11 Photography students have been focusing on the artist/photography David Hockney. In particular his work on Joiners.

The photography students were required to take multiple photos of an individual subject and create their own joiners both through Photoshop and manually. These images, when arranged, almost look like a patchwork of the overall image.
