Definition: Diptych and Triptych are terms that traditionally refer to paintings of two or three panels, which are usually hinged . We borrow the terms to refer to photographic prints that have two or three photographs on them.

Assignment #1: We will be using either two or three images for our first assignment. No matter how many photographs you use, be sure that each one is well composed, exposed and imagined photograph first. Then it can be paired with one or two other equally well made photographs to make a successful Diptych or Triptych.
The images shown below are example of artists who use multiple photographs.
• Try looking at just 2 or 3 of any of the images of The Bechers or Duane Michals and imagine they might work as a diptych or triptych.
Studies
Bernd and Hilla Becher
