Joiners Work Diary

In this lesson we were given the task to create a joiner. I find the concept of joiners very interesting. I think it is beautiful way to express yourself and/or create slash manipulate objects. We perceive things as one thing, however evidently, we can manipulate faces to create a seemingly normal face. I find it fascinating  that we can put together different images and it pass as one thing.

We were given the opportunity to take multiple photos of a portrait to make our own joiner.
Here are some examples of the photo I took:

These photos give me the perfect opportunity to manipulate facial features. I like the first one a lot because she is semi smiling. She looks naturally beautiful. The second I also like because you can clearly see her looking straight but out of focus.

Here is the final piece:

Progression

Next time I think I would take more photos so that I could make the joiner wider rather than having to overlap closeups as it distorts the face creating a funny effect.

I would also like to take more varied angle photos, it may be nice to have a background rather than just a plain one. However with the plain background it did make it easier to blend the two side facing pictures.
