These are the two images I am going to attempt to combine in the style of Nancy Burson. First of all I am aware of some potential issues. Firstly the shadow on the side of my first portrait, this will make it difficult to merge the right side of both their faces. Secondly the fact that one background is white and the other grey, I will most probably have to change the grey background to white.

I made both of the images black and white as I think this will make them more easy to merge. Then I adjusted the opacity of the second portrait as it will be the top layer. Now all I need to do is correctly overlap them.

My final outcome is quite clearly not up to the standard of Nancy Burson’s impressive work. After hours of adjusting different settings, manipulating both images and lots of cropping and rotating the images I finally realised that i would have to shoot two portraits that are perfectly identical in composition but with different models in order to create work anything near as good as Burson.
