O diretor de criação da BBDO Atlanta, Stephen McMennamy, sempre foi apaixonado por contar histórias por meio da fotografia. E com a ajuda de um aplicativo no seu celular que ele pensou: “Por que não contar duas histórias, ao invés de apenas uma?”.

Ele começou, então, a juntar duas fotografias de contextos completamente diferentes para criar imagens que ocasionalmente podem ser consideradas críticas do modo como vivemos e vemos as coisas (às vezes, elas são só para confundir, mesmo).

“Eu sempre me interessei pela mágica da fotografia e sempre gostei de vasculhar imagens que apresentassem um conteúdo intrigante, mas o Instagram realmente impulsionou meu interesse por novas maneiras de criar”, disse McMennamy ao Daily Mail UK. “Eu insisto em fundos limpos para ter certeza de que a montagem não será perdida, então as fotografias acabam tendo um padrão e geralmente são fotografadas em um estacionamento perto da minha casa”.

trumpet vine + traffic cones this one took a little more time than usual. when I got the idea in my head, I knew nothing about trumpet vines, now I think I might know way more than necessary. if you're interested, I can direct you to pretty much all the places they're growing around Atlanta. when this idea started several months ago, I didn't actually know what I was looking for. I didn't know what those orange flowers were called, where I'd seen them before, where they grow?… I just knew what it looked like in my head. anyway, once I made a conscious effort to try and make this thing happen all I could do was look around. for the longest time I saw nothing… and then suddenly I spotted a speck of orange blooming in some bushes on a busy road by my house. like a man possessed, I went back with some pruning shears and participated in a real life game of Frogger. I thought I'd found a needle in the haystack… only to find out that they had just started coming into bloom. so here we are, peak season and they're seemingly everywhere. just a lesson in patience and maybe a little less so, a lesson in persistence. for what it's worth, the traffic cones were easy to find. I borrowed them from a high end organic grocery store in town (specializing in foods) regardless, the cones were returned the following day. side note on the shot of the cones, I locked two tripods together. one right side up and the other upside down, the cones went on the poles of the upside down tripod (which was my grandfathers old tripod circa… old). outtakes on @combophotofail. #combophoto #trumpetvines
