History of Photo-montage

A photo-montage is a collage constructed from photographs. This photographs can be as abstract as can be from each other. Common photo montage creations are portraits such as mixing different parts of models faces with others. Montage photography can be created on photo shop and by hand. Historically, the technique has been used to make political statements and gained popularity in the early 20th century (World War 1-World War 2). It was first used as a technique by the dadaists in 1915 in their protests against the First World War. It was later adopted by the surrealists. This is where photo montage was open to possibilities for expressing the feelings of war soldiers and working communities.
