Research

David Hockney

Composite Polaroids, a large number of images taken of one subjects and then places together as a collage creating a beautiful large scale image, that is broken up by the white edges of each individual polaroid image. This is a very creative way that I could use 36 images, I could take 36 images of one subjects focusing on only macro shots, then places them together as a collage creating one establishing shot.

Duane Michals

'Duane Michals is an American fine art photographer noted for his metaphysical imagery and for his “creative extension of the possibilities of the photographic medium.” His works are often times best understood (intentionally) by our unconscious mind, where we are able to relate and comprehend on a more emotional level.'

“When people ask me what I am, I tell them I’m the artist formally known as a photographer,” …  “I am an expressionist and by that I mean I’m not a photographer or a writer or a painter or a tap dancer, but rather someone who expresses himself according to his needs.” – Duane Michals

Diane Arbus



'This young squirt, with his strap falling down, an Arbus signifier for dishevelment and extreme emotion (see the provocative Girl in a Shiny Dress, N.Y.C. of 1967), with his preposterous lack of physical strength, is ripplingly physical, plausibly military, conceivably terrorist. He is ready to fight back; indeed, his stance itself is a challenge to this stranger he met only once, photographer Diane Arbus, to leave him be.
The boy spasms with frustration and impatience as Arbus moves around him, disorienting and trapping him with shot after shot, far more than he anticipated. (We see time unfold in the extant contact sheet.)'
