Whilst researching the photo joiner technique I came
across another professional photographer that is UK based and practices photo
joiners as part of his work.
His name is Matt Murtagh and he has a professional
website detailing some of his work. Matt is from and Based in Birmingham and
does studio, wedding and location photography.
His website can be found here http://www.mattmurtaghphotography.com/
and the images that I have included here in my blog are attributed to Matt and
obviously are his copyrighted material.
Matt also has a wedding photography web site and Flickr
page.
St Martins, Birmingham
The first image that I have chosen of Matt’s is
entitled “St Martins”.
This joiner is of St Martins Church in the Bull ring in
Birmingham. I like the symmetry to this image, although not exactly the same,
you have the two “book end” buildings on the left and right with the main focal
point dead centre.
The joiner is well constructed and has plenty of detail
to look at, whilst being simplistic enough, not to be confusing.
If I were taking the joiner, I may have tried to move a
little to the left or a little more forward to exclude the monument on the far
right as this can be a little distracting.

Trafalgar Square
Another image of Matt’s that took my eye was of
Trafalgar square.
This image is great, as there is a huge amount of
activity in the foreground with people moving about and getting on with their
daily activities.
Because of the time lapse nature of joiners, the people
themselves are disjointed and for me that adds interest.
It is also a photograph
that has been taken in the wet and the reflections.
This image has been well thought out and constructed.
This is an image which I would have loved to have taken
and would not change anything with this image. It has plenty of detail and
impact and I have to admit to being more intrigued by photo joiners the more
research I do into the subject.
