Joiners Definition

Joiners, is a photographictechnique in which one picture is assembled from several overlapping photographs. This can be done manually with prints or by using digital image editing software.


Here are some examples:

David Hockney is born in Bradford, Yorkshire, on 9 July, the son of Kenneth and Laura Hockney and 
the fourth of five children (Paul, Philip, Margaret, David and John). Studies at Bradford School of Art, 

In the early 1980s, Hockney began to produce photo collages which he called "joiners", first using Polaroid prints and subsequently 35mm, commercially processed colour prints. Using polaroid snaps or photolab-prints of a single subject, Hockney arranged a patchwork to make a composite image.^[ An early photomontage was of his mother. Because the photographs are taken from different perspectives and at slightly different times, the result is work that has an affinity with cubism, one of Hockney's major aims—discussing the way human vision works.
