Photoshop Magic

Here's a problem I encounter all the time! I photograph a number of corporate team photos. But it's an ever-evolving process...people leave the company, new employees are hired, etc. Here's a team photo I took for one of my favorite clients, Caldwell Commercial, last year.

Larry just joined the team this year. Instead of dragging everyone back down there, I met up with him at the same spot I had taken the team photo. I brought along the previous team photo on my iPhone so I could position him and light him as close as possible to the original group shot.
Finally, he gets merged in with the others. MAGIC! :-) The key is, by paying attention to details and photographing Larry's image with the same variables as the one I'm trying to fit him in to...the Photoshop work is a piece of cake!

Perfect! Would've fooled me! :)

Chris,

Should have shown the pictures in reverse order. Then ask, can you spot who doesn't belong. Would make for a cool contest.
