Photomontage
Combined photo artwork
Photomontage is the technique of combining multiple photographs or parts of photographs into a single composite image.
The result is also called a photomontage.
Artists cut, paste, overlap, and blend images to create surreal, political, or artistic effects: The Dadaists pioneered photomontage as social commentary.
The technique has migrated from scissors and glue to digital editing software.
