The following image is an album cover for Larkin and Poe, signed by a corporate music label. It is a composite of two images, one in which the woman on the left has her knee pointing up, and the other in which she has her knee pointing down. The challenge in compositing the two images was making the elbow's resting look natural -- I re-seamed the inside of the woman on the right's pants to re-structure directionality and reconstructed the background to give her a skinny jean (as opposed to a bell-bottom). I also reconstructed part of the woman on the right's guitar to bring together the space between them.
