2. David Hockney - Photomerge
Artist: David Hockney
Techniques: Photomerge. What Hockney would do is take photographs with his
camera (this varied from a Polaroid, to a standard film camera. He would take
close up shots of the subject he was shooting. After he had done this, he
would take the photographs and collage them together to create one large
image.
Traditional or non-traditional: It is not a traditional way of producing a
photograph.
Historical or contemporary: the techniques of collage is historical. Although,
recent techniques would mean it was contemporary. Hackneys work though is
still contemporary. The technique can also be done digitally on software called
Photoshop, thus making the method easier to do digitally.
Where their work might be displayed: Hockney has had his work displayed in
galleries and his own books of artwork. One example of his work, including the
photocollages, was in October 2006 at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

4. Frank Luna - Scanography
Artist: Frank Luna
Techniques: Scanography. To do this type of photography method, you must
use an image copier. What you do is take a scan of whatever the subject is on
the scanner. This creates the image. Scanners have a very low depth of field
but are very high quality so you can get some interesting outcomes by using
this method.
Traditional or non-traditional: Non-traditional. This kind of work uses non-
traditional ways (using an image scanner) to take photographs.
Historical or contemporary: Contemporary. Luna is still alive and is still doing
Scanography as recently as 2013. The technology behind Scanography is also
still contemporary as it is still a relativity new photographic method
Where their work might be displayed: Luna has produced work for media
companies in the past. Work like his though could also be seen in a photo book
or even in a gallery dedicated to this genre of work. 4

6. Jerry Uelsmann – Double Exposure
Artist: Jerry Uelsmann
Techniques: Double Exposure. Double exposure includes two different
images within one image. Uelsmann's work features two different images
in one (as you can see on the slide below). They usually contrast one
another.
Traditional or non-traditional: Traditional.
Historical or contemporary: Double exposures have been used historically
in the past to remove people from historical photographs e.g. Stalin. In
the artistic sense though, double exposures are contemporary because
they are still being done today & are also easier to do now with programs
like Photoshop, which allows you to digitally create a double exposure.
Where their work might be displayed: Uelsmann has had is work shown in
over 100 shows across the globe. These include The Metropolitan Museum
of Art & The Chicago Art Institute. 6
