ภาพถ่ายแสนสนุกกับจินตนาการนอกกรอบ

สำหรับช่างภาพ ไม่เพียงแต่ต้องถ่ายภาพให้สวยในสายตาคนดูเท่านั้น แต่ภาพถ่ายนั้นต้องเต็มไปด้วยจินตนาการอันไร้กรอบจำกัดอีกด้วย ดังนั้นภาพถ่ายจากศิลปินที่มีชื่อว่าช่างภาพจึงไม่ใช่เพียงการบันทึกความทรงจำผ่านเลนส์กล้องเท่านั้น แต่เป็นมุมมองทางสายตา เป็นความคิด และเป็นความรู้สึกที่เขามีต่อภาพนั้นๆ ด้วย เช่นเดียวกันกับ Stephen McMennamy ช่างภาพที่รังสรรค์ผลงานสุดครีเอทด้วยการรวมเอาภาพถ่าย 2 ภาพมารวมกันจนได้ผลงานสนุกๆ ที่ไม่ซ้ำใคร บางภาพที่ไม่คาดคิดว่าจะคู่กันได้ แต่เขากลับสามารถจับคู่สิ่งของสองสิ่งที่ต่างกันให้เข้ากันได้อย่างลงตัว โดยเฉพาะการนำ “อาหาร” มาผสมผสานกับ “สิ่งของ” ทั้งรถยนตร์ เครื่องจักร์ และอุปกรณ์ต่างๆ ฯลฯ จนกลายเป็นงานศิลปะอีกชิ้นที่น่าจับตามอง และแน่นอนว่าเอกลักษณ์ที่โดดเด่นผสมผสานกับจินตนาการที่เต็มไปด้วยความสนุก ทำให้ Stephen McMennamy กลายเป็นศิลปินที่น่าจับตามองไม่แพ้ผลงานของเขา

cupcake + toothbrush I got two cupcakes at @publix yesterday. two. I dropped one while walking to my car. I also bought 5 toothbrushes… none of which were dropped. there’s an uninteresting outtake over at @combophotofail. #combophoto

banana + car this one was supposed to be a 🍋, but it ended up just being another 🍌 #combophoto. it’s the fruit that keeps on giving. and there’s always more banana ideas in the pipeline (and the lemon thing may still happen). see you next week. same time, same place. chances are good it’ll be something with fruit, maybe pencils, could be more peppers, perhaps something with skittles or cereal or bread or balloons.

lightbulb + egg 💡🐓 R.I.P. to all the eggs lost on this one. I welcome all clever/punny commentary. #combophoto

turf + cake just taking samples of earth’s delicious core. thanks to @morganlandd for snagging me this piece of turf. and thanks to whoever made this slice of cake over at @thefreshmarket. I took the cake shot back in January (so #tbt I guess?). apparently it can take a while for these things to come together. #combophoto #⛳️🍰

yellow paint + yellow squash more experimentation with “synthetic meets organic.” technical note: I used a toothpick to suspend the squash slices. and there’s a not-all-that-interesting outtake on @combophotofail. #combophoto

wood posts + fry container 🍟 I’m definitely not endorsing any particular golden arch based fast food chain here, but I am endorsing the notion of giant, log sized, French fries. fry propping outtake over on @combophotofail. #combophoto

donuts + wheelbarrow 🍩🍩🍩 I stacked some donuts this weekend to see what my previously very square world looks like now that it can be a little more vertical. that said, I’m digging all the new views from the latest @instagram update. #combophoto

paintbrush + bananas 🍌🍌🍌🍌 more from my paint madness phase… which I’m still in and plan on being in for a little while longer. conveniently no paint used on this one. behind the scenes bananas on @combophotofail. #combophoto

fire extinguisher + jalapeño pepper 🔥 I asked my 5 year old what she thought of this, she said it looked like pepper spray, I’m cool with that description. this one is dedicated to my perpetual spice (and burrito) loving friend @alexrusselljr. more #combophotos ⬅️ here.

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

Swiss Army knife + some tools 🇨🇭🔪 head over to @combophotofail to check out my rigging before I knew what I actually wanted to do here. a few more #combophoto’s ⬅️ here. #ComboPhotos

. hotdog + telehandler (aka: big forklift)🍴 special thanks to Jose Santillan for his convincing performance of befuddlement over a giant invisible hotdog. actually I just asked him to “look up” and he pretty much brought his own magic to the party from there. and props to the construction foreman for the use of one of his many heavy equipment props (and that wall). more #combophoto’s ⬅️ here. #combophotos

. fruit loops + dump truck.🍓🍊🍏🍋🍇🚚 I’ve had the dump tuck sitting in the photo library since January. just waiting patiently for some fruit loops. (the driver was kind enough to move his truck into a more flattering position. thanks for that.) check out more #combophoto’s ⬅️ here. #combophotos

meatball + forklift 🍝 spaghetti and meatball from a pizza place down the street (vintage pizza). forklift is from “the lot” in Hollywood California (on the other side of the country from my street). thanks to “the lot” transportation captain, Robert, for modeling and forklifting. additional #combophoto’s ⬅️ here. #combophotos

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

ice cream (+sprinkles) + front loader 🍦🚜 this one was tricky and really numbing, but only because I had to pop the ice cream shot in the cold. in this case, the coldest day of the year. I lucked out with 14° at shoot time (and blue sky). all sorts of respect for the @chrisburkard’s of the world for constantly capturing amazing images in the freezing cold. shooting when you can’t feel your hands was a whole new challenge. double tip of the cap to the food stylists that deal with ice cream. not easy. a little learning moment over at @combophotofail. more #combophoto’s ⬅️ here. #icecream #truck #sprinkles #cold #vscocam #combophotos
