Studio - combining photos

in the crit an idea someone gave me, in response to my recent flower combinations, was to combine multiple photos together instead of just two.
i started with combining all the photos of my Granddad and Grandma's wedding. the end result is a canvas of black and white unclear shapes. i like how you can only make out images within the piece if you study it closely. i think it would have been more successful if there were less images so they were clearer to make out.

the next collage i created was with just group photos from the wedding. because the photos are black and white it makes the collages have an eerie quality, it makes me think of memories in the mind. 

This was using just photos from the wedding of just my grandpa and grandma.

this collage combines photos of when my grandpa was young

And this was just two photos combined of young and old photos of him

for this collage i used an image of when she was a baby, young girl, her wedding, her with her children and the final nice photo we have of her. i combined them all together to make a collage symbolising her life.


i think the most successful was the first one because it doesn't look like photographs until you get closer to it.
