Photomanipulations are a breathtaking artform that usually become quite involved and heavily loaded with all of the various images being brought together and molded into one. However, when you scale that back and use the most minimal amount of manipulation to combine two, maybe three, images, it can become increasingly difficult to seamlessly blend them together. The images have to be chosen with even more care.

Today we have a collection that proves the stunning and inspiring ways these minimalist photomanipulations can come together. When less means more, these artists have stepped up to meet this challenge head-on, and they have all produced some awesome work that can sometimes be mistaken for stock photography given the simplistic nature of the pieces. So get inspired through this spotlight of ours.
