I am a strong advocate that an idea is way more important than gear, as well as getting the shot right in camera first! This is exactly how Stephen McMennamy created a fantastic series of images, by simply combining juxtaposed images to form playful scenes. This is not 'photoshopping' in my opinion, and has only used 'standard' photo editing techniques, but the clever positioning of the two photographs really creates compelling images.
This is an idea that anyone could do with any camera!
I highly recommend you check out his tumblr and instagram feeds for more great images!
