a photo montage is a collection of photos, overlapped and merged together to create a collage. 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 who exploited the possibilities photo montage offered by using free association to bring together widely disparate images, to reflect the workings of the unconscious mind.

In these photos, the artists have cut and pasted different photos and over lapped them into one. It is seen that parts of the face have been placed appropriately on the original photo, so I mimicked this style of collaging my taking parts of existing portraits and positioning them on corresponding features on the base photo.
