Photo-montage is the process behind co-creating imagery with illustration and photography. It often starts with a photoshoot, and then a brief given to the illustrator/graphic designer. The illustrator will then work on additional elements to place upon the photography.
I’ve worked on photo-montage projects with Stylist Magazine and Esquire Singapore. See my wider illustration portfolio that spans fashion, food and wellness.
Why use photo-montage?
It can offer a way to add excitement, storytelling, and further narrative to imagery – it also is a great collaboration tool.
