French term or phrase: hybridation
[X est] un spécialiste des hybridations photographiques entre l’homme et l’objet.

This is from an article for an art magazine about a designer who makes posters, book covers, etc. His style mixes people and objects (fi scissors with ballerina legs or a photo of a leaf mixed with the photo of lips)

'photographical' hybridisation does not sound right.
