Joiners - Work Diary

For my photo joiners, I did three photoshoots, as i planned to create three joiners. For each joiner, I went to a location I wanted to capture and took pictures of it while moving the camera across and then lowering it, then repeating until the camera was at a low viewpoint.

This is my favourite of the three joiners I made.
INSERT IMAGE

I like the fact a person was used in the image, as it creates an interesting form that you can manipulate to create a very broken up and distorted joiner image. I also liked the fact you could see past the studio background, as there are more things to the side of it that created interesting broken up forms. I feel that this added variation to my set of joiners, as it was the only one which involved people and was taken int he studio. I think this joiner benefited from me not using a tripod as I was able to physically able to move the camera and get different viewpoints.

This is my least favourite of the three joiners I made.

I didn't really like this photo joiner as much as the others. I think that the place i took it was not particularly interesting, as it didn't have a lot of complex structures that could be warped by the joiner. Also, I feel that i should have physically moved the camera to capture the images, as I used a tripod and simply turned where the camera faced, and I feel this resulted in a lack of different viewpoints.

If I were to create photo joiners again, I would try to experiment more with capturing people in my joiners, which I only did in one joiner. I would like to try incorporating props with the people in my pictures to try and create a few different visible pictures within the joiner.
