The purpose of today’s lesson: Being able to take a cast of people and photoshop them together is challenging and is usually done for advertising and editorial purposes.
A great example of this is the cast of the new Lion King. Almost everyone at the shoot was not there at the same time. So over the course of a few days, they shot everyone and carefully retouched and places all of these people in one photo. How do I know this? John Oliver mentioned it on an episode of Last Week Tonight.
Another great example is to be able to create elevated collaged photo-illustration. Eleanor Shakespeare is a great example of this.
