David Hockney's approach to photography is unique in the way in which he presents an image. He takes parts of the image to stress certain areas of a person or room/place. He layers different pieces of the image to make it look almost 3D.
Painting with the camera helps you approach taking picture in more of a realistic way. You are actual able to capture every part in a more focused way.
For my individual project, I wanted to stress the emotions of the face. I thought it would be interesting to make the eyes different on each side as if on one side of her face she was tired and the other she was kind of squinting as if she were annoyed. For her mouth, I put one side as her tongue being out like she's feeling crazy and happy. On the other side she has more of a serious/annoyed mouth.
I feel like the photographer that resonates with me the most is Paccarik Orue. The idea of taking away a moment from someone is interesting and something that I never thought about before. The way he asks permission before taking a picture is very thoughtful and polite. The items and people and situations that he takes pictures of have a story behind them that maybe you wouldn't even think about, and I like that. He takes images of relevant things that a lot of people can relate to.
