David Hockney once said, “photography is all right if you don’t mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed cyclops-for a split second.” However, in the 1980s, Hockney began to experiment with the photographic medium. Taking numerous Polaroid or 35mm photographs of a scene from a variety of perspectives, Hockney would then arran...
Step 1: Select an image
For this tutorial, I’ll be using a photo I took of clouds. The photo is made up of strong shapes, forms and tones. When converted into a joiner, these elements are pulled apart to create a mangled scene that is consolidated by the overall character of the source image.
Step 2: Cutting
With your chosen image open, select the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the left toolbar (or type the letter M). Select a small section of your image and right-click within the selected area. Click onLayer Via Cut. The selection will be severed from the source image to create a new layer.
Step 3 – Open a New File
Open a new file by selecting File -> New. Name the new canvas Joiner and select an image size that mirrors the dimensions of your source photograph. Click OK, and a new canvas will open. This is the canvas we will create our joiner on.

In the 1960s, while working on a depiction of a room in Los Angeles, he ended up merging Polaroids. This unintended collage surprisingly conveyed a sense of being able to move through the room. This accidental assembly sparked Hockney's interest, leading him to momentarily shift from painting to photography. 8.

631 works. David Hockney, a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, revolutionised visual art with his inventive technique of creating joiners. This method, which involves piecing together a mosaic of photographs to form a cohesive image, challenges and transcends traditional perspectives in both photography and painting.
Hockney's work in photography was deeply influenced by the principles of Cubism. Rather than presenting a singular viewpoint, he embraced Cubism's multi-faceted approach, breaking down scenes into fragmented parts and then reassembling them, creating a dynamic interplay between different perspectives in a single photographic collage.
