A photo montage is a series of individual photographs, collectively of one subject, arranged together to create a single image. Sometimes a photomontage can move and include video.

A photo montage can contain any number of photos. There is no limit to the amount of time it takes to create this series of images. There is also no limit to the variety of locations the photographer can use to make the photos. To be practical in the execution of a photo montage, some limitation is advisable.

For my photo montage, I took images based on the war and which were taken during that time, and then I also took my own images which are of German bunkers and places which were used during the war. To make my photo montages I took my images and paired them up depending on their similarities, and then cut certain pieces out, stuck them together and even burned one of them. Below are my results.

For this montage I took two images, one which was taken during the war in a tunnel and one which I took when I went to Battery Moltke. I then took the image from the war, cut out the middle where the hallway continues and matched it up to the recent image so they look like one hallway.

For this image above, I found a picture taken during the war of the French castle ruins close to Battery Moltke, another where there were a crowd of people around a car, and one which I took of a Nazi symbol. I cut out the people in the crowd image and stuck them among the ruins picture to make them appear as if they were there looking at towards the archway and the bunker in the background. I then cut out a hole where the archway was and put the Nazi sign there. To finish it off I burnt holes into the images where the faces of the people were, and where the Nazi sign was so that they lost their identity as they would have when they were taken over during the war.

to make this image a took an image of my own, which was a square hole in the wall of the hallways we visited at Battery Molke, and took an image from the archive of a German soldier with a black dog. I cut out the space where the hole would have been in my image and stuck the older image behind it, as if we are looking back into the past through this German-made hole.
