Y8 Project Day - Photo Joiners

Joiner Photography involves the use of two or more images of a single scene to create a larger one by physically overlapping them or by digitally merging them. In our project the boys used 2 techniques. Firstly, they produced digital joiners using Microsoft Publisher. Some examples of which are shown here. Secondly, using the digital version as a guide, they physically overlapped A3 prints to produce the giant images that are displayed in the sports hall.

  • I got the inspiration for this image when I passed a group of boys on stilts. First I took the pictures but when I put them together I tried to exaggerate his height and wobbliness by distorting the image.

  • Every time I took a picture I moved, so it came out as a most intriguing picture and a piece of art.
  • I decided to take photos of the entire front of the school and join them up into a sort of panorama. I had to take 32 photos to cover every inch of the front.

  • This image is of a stretching hockey goalie. I got the inspiration when I saw an ice hockey game and someone had to stretch from nearly one end of the goal to the other. I tried to show this by stretching and missing out parts of the person.

  • I walked past a music session that was in full swing. In seconds I went in and took pictures of the boys playing music some boys like Bonar and Ben enjoyed the change and posed well.
  • I took these shots from different angles, looking up at the sculpture and also from above.
  • I started to take pictures of the library from the bottom right and slowly moved left completing the row and then doing the row above.  I also took some photos landscape and some others portrait.

  • The photos of my feet were quite close up and then I started taking photos of the trunk at all types of angles. Then when I moved up the tree I zoomed out to show emphasis on the height of the tree to try and make it a bit overwhelming but interesting.
