Las 'combofotos': imágenes imposibles que triunfan en Internet

No es algo nuevo. El fotógrafo Chema Madoz, por ejemplo, lleva años creando metáforas visuales con la unión de dos objetos diferentes que juntos forman un sentido único: una jaula que parece tener encerrada una nube y un cubito de hielo con un lazo que recuerda a un regalo son solo algunos ejemplos de sus fotografías.

Ahora, Instagram y la red están descubriendo nuevas ilusiones y posibilidades con las 'combofotos'. En este caso no se trata de unir dos objetos, sino de pegar dos fotos para crear montajes como los que vemos a continuación:

winter + summer ❄️ though it isn't officially summer yet, it's officially hot as hell in Atlanta. so here's a little #tbt to the cooler months. thank you @erriemarie and @gnarguin for helping me get this shot during my last visit to @whistlerblacomb. and a big thanks to my youngest for her exceptional hand modeling skills. more #combophoto's ⬅️ here. #ComboPhotos

a back + apricot what can I say, I was inspired by the lax dress code along the French Riviera. thanks to @mikelawson and @paulflann51 who were my test pilots on this one. I'm genuinely surprised how willing complete strangers were to let me give them an apricot butt. in one particular case the language barrier just made the whole thing too weird. imagine me, who speaks zero French, trying to explain this concept a guy who speaks zero English... none (with an apricot and a camera in my hand). turns out @siljekristiansen4's husband ended up being the back that got the apricot. more #combophoto's ⬅️ here. #ComboPhotos

helmet + turtle this #turtletuesday #combophoto was a dual effort between two strangers on two different coasts. the turtle image courtesy of @asenseofhuber. the vintage motorcycle helmet image was taken by me. Kyle has an additional combo (based on the same theme) on his page. I've been wanting to do a collaboration for a while now and was fortunate to team up with one of the best instagrammers out there. always in awe of how the @instagram community works. stop by his feed and entertain your eyeballs. more #combophoto's ⬅️ here. #communityfirst

Adoramos essa mistura de fotografias, tem coisas incríveis ❤️ #Repost @smcmennamy with @repostapp. ・・・ headphones + donuts or is it doughnut? regardless, this was a tough shoot, but only because I had a really difficult time being around so many perfect and delicious donuts. my weakness/breakdown is demonstrated on @combophotofail. final shot... couldn't resist. a smattering of other #combophoto's ⬅️ here. #donuts or is it #doughnuts #headphones (not #beats more like #eats) #vscocam #combophotos
