These surreal photos are not Photoshop inventions. Art Director Stephen McMennamy looks for simple backgrounds, takes two photographs, and then carefully arranges them together. The early #combophoto project shots were taken with an iPhone, but McMennamy recently bought a new camera to improve the quality, and occasionally uses a drone.

“It’s really just from looking around and seeing what things are out in the world might make for an interesting fit or what would make for a nice contrast once combined,” McMennamy told PetaPixel. “As far as process, it’s just a matter of me hunting things down and aiming for the cleanest shot possible.”

I especially love that this isn't shopped to the max. He left it clear that this are just two parts of two different photo's and stick them together. Nothing is blended in to mask just that.

I didn't notice that on my own. They're close enough in background color that it was in my zone of not seeing it til someone says something.
