PHOTO MONTAGE

What is photo montage?

To combine photos for artistic effect, to show more subject than a single photo can do. You can make a photomontage either by hand, by cutting and sticking, or digitally, on photoshop.

Brief history of photo montage

Photomontage became popular during the Victorian era, but it was then called combination printing. The idea was created by Oscar Rejlander, who was a pioneering photographer. Photomontage was used in WW1 to capture men at war departing to war with their families seeing them off. It was also used to protest war and politics.
