Photomontage Photomontage is the process and the result of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining two or more photographs into an illusion of an unreal subject. Sometimes the resulting composite image is photographed so that a final image may appear as a seamless photographic print. A similar method, although one that does not use film, is realized today through image-editing software. This latter technique is referred to by professionals as "compositing", and in casual usage is often called, "photoshopping", due to a particular software often used. Ray Demski Sequence Photography

Paul M Smith Paul M Smith was commissioned to create a series of cheeky photomontages of British pop singer, Robbie Williams, in various staged scenarios. In some examples he appeared as different characters assembled alongside each other. In other examples he appeared as one character but in multiple angles – such as the famous illustration for the ‘Sing When You’re Winning’ album cover from 2001. These clever composites were created using the lasso tool and copy and paste in Photoshop.
