We might think that the world is an amalgamation of countries and cultures of stark differences however, travelling South African couple Chanel Cartell and Stevo Dirnberger, rather focuses on the similarities between various places around the globe instead of the differences and to convey the message of appreciating the existence of common grounds to the masses, they create photo mashups of different look-alike places and float them on social media.
The couple has fittingly named the series, Scenes from Around the World: A Mash-Up Project, and it features all 40 countries that they have travelled together. The beautifully composed pictures appear pretty cohesive even after the photo manipulation. And while the difference between the photographs is visible, one can easily pass it off as clicks taken at the same location but at different times instead of guessing that each picture is actually a combination of two completely unrelated places.
