Hybrid

Juxtaposition in photographs is something we see a lot nowadays but man ray was one of the first to introduce this art form with his photograph called "gift";



and "Le violon d'Ingres",



Both of these images play with your perceptions.




Here is a modern example of juxtaposition. This image has been made to play with your perceptions and desires. The bottom half shows a row of quite nice houses. It seems like a very nice place to be. whereas the top half counters this with the the smoking towers which repel you and make this place a lot less desirable.
