Hockney Style Photomontage


I looked at some of David Hockney's 'joiner' pictures and I was inspired to create one of my own under the title 'Changing Landscape'.
I feel changing of landscape is the seasons changing therefore I found a tree near my house that had some of its leaves deep red and orange in colour, and also with some leaves dropped and surrounding the base of the trunk of the tree.
I took a series of photos of the tree from different angles and using the inspiration of Hockney I created a joiner picture that is shown on the left.
I was happy with the compostion of the photo and I made it so it was slightly not matched up making for a more abstract look.
However I started adding warming filters to it and they improved it greatly in my opinion, because the warming of the photo adds to the colours that are shown in the leaves.


Below is a screenshot of the filter being added to the picture:


Below is the final picture after being warmed:
