June 26, 2019
Melding three different photos with different lighting, exposures, etc., into a composite that looks natural can be a challenge. Even more so if you don’t want to ground the silhouettes at the bottom of the frame.
Designers at CNN Politics often used organic-verging-on-angular lines at the bottom of the figures to solve this problem, as I did for this quick turn piece on Kevin Liptak’s story Trump’s G20 orbits around Xi, Putin, and other world leaders.
