David Hockney was born in 1937 in Bradford, England. His style involved taking many photos of a place from different angles and lighting and combining them into a collage. Most of his photos were taken in the American Southwest using this technique. The document provides examples of Hockney's photos of his mother, locations in Paris and Yosemite Valley, and the American Southwest, showing how he used multiple photos fitted together to create detailed composite images. It also mentions an example of the author attempting this technique in a photo of their sister.
