what is panography


Panography, or Joiners, is a photographic technique to compose one picture from several overlapping photos. This can be done manually with prints or by using digital image editing software.
Panographs may resemble a wide-angle or panoramic view of a scene, similar in effect to segmented panoramic photography or image stitching. A panograph is distinct because the overlaps between adjacent pictures are not removed. Panography is thus a type of photomontage and is a sub-set of collage.
In 2008 Canadian artist G. Scott MacLeod used the technique for portraiture.[citation needed] He photographed people lying down and used personal elements as a backdrops. MacLeod used this technique in the body of work Sacred Feminine and Masculine[1][2] shown in Canada.[3] IPSEN's Silent Fighters book, published in March 2010, also used this technique for images of patients with dystonia.
