Photo-montage is two or more images to construct a college. This style of photography originated from Dadaism but is also very similar to surrealism. This style of art/photography has developed significantly since it first originated. It’s peak point was during the 20th century where multiple artists decided to experiment with creating abstract portraits. Photo-montage is still a big style of photography, as many artists are still creating this style of images. Nowadays, artists are presenting their opinions towards current political event and issues which are relevant to today, instead of issues which are no longer relevant.

Dadaism – This was the art movement during the first world war, to show the negative reaction towards horrors of the war. The aim of these images was to destroy traditional values in art and to create a new art to replace the old..

Surrealism – Is aimed to ‘revolutionaries human experience’, by taking away all rations thoughts and visions towards visions of life. Which allowed the values of dreams to be presented. The word itself informs us that it is ‘beyond reality’, which means it take a less naturalistic path towards photography.

This style of photography allows artists viewpoints and thoughts to be expressed in a creative way. These images can be created through  the use of photoshop or can be hand created. Below are a selection of my favourite examples of photomontage. I added a variety of styles, which follow Dadaism and surrealism. Personally, my initial reaction is that I prefer surrealism due to its more creative nature, however, I do believe dadaism examples are also just as good as they provide a strong message to viewers. This style of photography manipulation is mainly done on computers, on image editing software, however they still can be produced as a hand craft.
