photo montage

A photo montage is a combination of several photographs joined together for artistic effect or to show more of the subject than can be shown in a single photograph.

What makes a good photo montage?

Photomontages are similar to cubism. There are no bounds of perspective or time. You can create a single artwork using several images of the same or many subjects. Doing this in a cohesive manner gives exciting results.

Example of a photo montage

My photo montage edit:

For my photo montage I created two layers of the model and put one behind the other, then cut out the outline. After that, I decided to use an orange newspaper because I think it works very well on a blue background. Next, I got an image of a sketched face and cut out the eyes. I placed the sketched eyes over the models and was surprised that it worked well.
