Strictly speaking, no it's not photography, but it's pretty clear that she has extensive knowledge of how light reacts, so even when the elements are taken from different sources, she knows, more than most, how to effectively manipulate things to look as if they are one.

So no, it's not photography, but it requires a very deep understanding of it. Probably more so than most 'strictly photographers.'

Well said. I would just say "So no, it's not solely photography" as there are photographic elements there where, if missing, wouldn't allow for the overall image to be created.

Still, well said. I find it amusing to see how some are always so quick to dismiss.

PS Jeff.. amazing work on your flickr account.
