Combination printing is the photography technique of using the negatives of two or more photographic images in conjunction with one another to create a single image.
Similar to dual-negative landscape photography, combination printing was technically much more complex. The concept of combination printing stemmed from the desire to create more of a fine art within photography and often more idealized images.
