The difference between Photomontage and joiner

PhotoMontage 
The technique of making a picture by assembling pieces of photographs, often in combination with other types of graphic material.

Technique by which a composite photographic image is formed by combining images from separate photographic sources




Joiner
involves the use of two or more separately taken images of a single scene to create a larger one by physically overlapping them or by digitally merging them. It differs from montage photography in that it looks to expand the area of view of the photograph as opposed to insert several elements into a given picture frame. From this point on there are many directions to take the image in terms of shape, viewpoints, subject, narrative, time and style. These all involve more personal choices by the creator and provide the potential for a more intimate and individually driven photograph.
