how to make –
Select the source images in Lightroom Classic.
For standard exposure photos, select Photo > Photo Merge > Panorama
For exposure bracketed photos, select Photo > Photo Merge > HDR Panorama to merge them into an HDR panorama.
In the Panorama Merge Preview / HDR Panorama Merge Preview dialog box, choose a layout projection:
Spherical: Aligns and transforms the images as if they were mapped to the inside of a sphere. This projection mode is great for really wide or multirow panoramas / HDR panorama.
Perspective: Projects the panorama / HDR panorama as if it were mapped to a flat surface. Since this mode keeps straight lines straight, it is great for architectural photography. Really wide panoramas may not work well with this mode due to excessive distortion near the edges of the resulting panorama.
Cylindrical: Projects the panorama / HDR panorama as if it were mapped to the inside of a cylinder. This projection mode works really well for wide panoramas, but it also keeps vertical lines straight.All of these projection modes work equally well for both horizontal and vertical panoramas / HDR panoramas.

You can use Boundary Warp slider setting (0-100) to warp panoramas / HDR panoramas to fill the canvas. Use this setting to preserve image content near the boundary of the merged image, that may otherwise be lost due to cropping. The slider controls how much Boundary Warp to apply. Higher slider value causes the boundary of the panorama/ HDR panorama to fit more closely to the surrounding rectangular frame.
Select Fill Edges to automatically fill the uneven edges of the merged image.
While previewing the panorama / HDR panorama, select Auto Crop to remove undesired areas of transparency around the merged image.

To group the source images and the panorama / HDR panorama image into a stack (after the images are merged), select the Create Stack option. The merged panorama / HDR panorama image is displayed at the top of the stack.
Once you’ve finished making your choices, click Merge. Lightroom Classic creates the panorama / HDR panorama and places it in your catalogue.
David Hockney Joiner Photo-collage, similar style
David Hockney, a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, revolutionised visual art with his inventive technique of creating joiners. This method, which involves piecing together a mosaic of photographs to form a cohesive image, challenges and transcends traditional perspectives in both photography and painting. By fragmenting and then reassembling the visual field, Hockney’s joiners disrupt conventional viewpoints, inviting a deeper exploration into the intricacies of perception and representation. This introduction sets the stage to dive into the impact of Hockney’s joiners, underscoring their significance in reshaping contemporary art and photography, and illuminating their influence on artists and photographers alike.

photo analysis –
within this photo u can see what he used many photos within a photo, to create this joiner photos, which he used over 700 separate photos. the artist says about his photos that its a drawing and not a photographic piece. The separate photos for the collage were taken over 8 days ( 11th-18th April 1986). This photo is called Pear blossom highway, as that is where all the photos were taken. Furthermore David Hockney described the circumstances leading to the creation of this photocollage of the scenic Pear blossom Highway north of Los Angeles, his detailed collage reveals the more mundane observations of a road trip. The littered cans and bottles and the meandering line where the pavement ends and the sand begins point to the interruption of the desert landscape by the roads cutting through it and the imprint of careless travellers.
