    David Hockney is an English painter who pioneered the use of joiner pieces made from polaroid photos in the early 1980s. He began creating these pieces accidentally but was intrigued by the results and went on to make many notable artworks using this technique. His joiner pieces capture his subjects from multiple angles and perspectives to form a single portrait, using a high aperture to keep each photo in focus while employing short shutter speeds to imply movement.

    1: Basic information
    David Hockney is an English painter who

    about where I place the pictures and what angles
    I use.
