photo montage

Combined picture arrangement

A photo montage is a composite image made by combining multiple photographs, either by cutting and arranging them physically or through digital manipulation.

The technique creates surreal juxtapositions, narrative sequences, or unified compositions from disparate sources: The album cover featured a photo montage of the band's tour.

Also written as one word: photomontage.
