Photomontage

The montage on the left was done by me in the style of David Hockney's montages. I took 15 photos in all from different angles and aspects of the tray and meat products. I opened up a blank file and gradually started adding more and more images into the montage and started overlapping the images.

I thought about the idea of changing food products in a landscape; sausages are fairly new in relitive terms where as porc chops have been around for years, tin foil is fairly new whereas wood top tables have been around for hundreds of years.

My second montage was all about me and my village, I incorperated a landscape photo that I took of Beltring station, 20mins walk from my house, my guitar in the right hand corner, a ceg, an ipod, peanut butter me and my 3D glasses in the top left the local post box in the bottom left and the facebook logo I got off the internet (my village is far away from most of my friends so its a good way to contact people in an isolated area. The lightbulb in the centre is a long lasting lightbulb and so better for the environment than tradition lightbulbs. In this way societies landscape of essential products is changing with social issues such as climate change. I recently discovered a guy in the year above me that lives in my village so the light bulb also symbolises the idea of a light freeing me from boredom. I originally had a background of my friends wall with a bubble pattern and this pattern is merged into all of the photos in the montage most clearly on the top right and ceg. I used a stamp affect on most of the photos to make it more interesting and aesthetically pleasing.
