1. Photomontage
One of the many surrealist methods used by the New Vision photographers was that of photomontage.
Collage describes a recombination of already existing visual materials effected by pasting them together and, sometimes re-photographing the result.
Montage refers to the combining of camera images on film or paper in the darkroom.
Both methods allow for strict control over the message the artist is trying to communicate as well as the ability to show the fantastic.
