Photomontage 2

Photomontages are made from cropping and joining many different together and composing them as one.
Another photographer that uses photomontages is Radcliffe Bailey.
A lot of Bailey's work involves vintage sepia tones of African Americans from the past. He uses mixed media and uses bright colours to make his work have a human dimension to them.

















This photomontage shows a young man in the middle with many different shapes, colours and pictures around him. To me, these add personality to the picture which an ordinary photograph wouldn't do. It makes the person seem lively, creative and alive.
