# Combined Couple Photos Bobby Neel Adams Melds Partners into One By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-02-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobby-neel-adams1 References: [flavorwire](http://flavorwire.com/256577/better-halved-photos-of-couples-melded-to-make-one-person?) & [bobbyneeladams](http://www.bobbyneeladams.com/index.html) These [combined couple photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) by Bobby Neel Adams are downright freaky. They say that as time goes on couples begin to behave and look like each other but when they are melded into one being that might be going a little too far. Bobby Neel Adams is anti-Photoshop and is all for "photo surgery" as he puts it. He simply tears the two photos and splices them together to create a half man/half women creature. The photos are all in black and white to give an even creepier effect as if these were real photos taken at a [1920s travelling circus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterlife-generator). While many couples share the same interests, it's not everyday that you see a couple that shares the same body. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Combined Couple Photos:** The trend of creating combined couple photos through photo surgery is a unique and creative way for couples to explore their physical and emotional similarities. - **Anti-photoshop Photography:** The trend of using photo surgery instead of Photoshop in photography can disrupt traditional photo editing software and create new opportunities for artists and photographers alike. - **Creepy Aesthetic:** The trend of using black and white photography to create a creepy and vintage aesthetic as seen in Bobby Neel Adams' work can inspire new forms of horror and suspense media in film and photography. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography and Editing:** The photography and editing industry can benefit from the trend of using photo surgery to create unique and creative visuals for clients. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can utilize the trend of combining images through photo surgery to create surrealist and thought-provoking images for exhibitions and commissions. - **Film and Media:** Film and media can explore the trend of using creepy aesthetics to create suspenseful and visually striking content across various platforms and genres. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ex-Partner Erasing Image Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okcupid-and-photoroom.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [Artful Anime-Blending Split Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust.md) - [Time-Altering Digital Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-machine-feature.md) - [Next-Day Wedding Photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-photos.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Transformative Couples Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bionic-bloom.md) - [Photo Memory Timelines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storylife.md)
