Merge Boy Into Beach Portrait

Job ID: 39929849

Budget: £2 – £5 GBP

I have two separate photos and need them combined into one natural-looking image. The base photo shows a man with the beach behind him; the second features a young boy.

What I need:
• Cut the boy cleanly from his original background and place him on the right side of the man.
• Remove every element from the boy’s original backdrop so nothing carries over.
• Adjust colour, exposure, and shadows so the lighting matches the beach scene and both subjects look as if they were shot together.

Deliverables:
1. A high-resolution flattened JPEG (ready for print and social media).
2. The editable layered PSD or equivalent file so I can make minor tweaks later.

A quick, tidy composite is all that’s required—no extra retouching beyond the seamless merge and lighting match.
