Photomontage

Tom, this is actually more than photography. Photomontage takes 2 apparently unconnected photographic images and brings them together to show the cause and effect relationship between them. A relationship usually kept hidden in the daily glut of images given for our passive consumption.
What has been so good about Peter Kennard's work over the last 40 years is the way his photomontages are instantly understandable and movie the viewer not just emotionally, but also into political action.
