Classic Portrait Photo Merge

I need a talented photo editor to combine two portrait shots into one cohesive image suitable for a print photo frame. The final product will be a gift, so it should be done with that in mind. I prefer a classic style for the merged image, so your understanding of this aesthetic will be key. The images should be clear.

Ideal skills and experience for the job:
- Expert in photo editing software (Photoshop, Lightroom)
- Strong understanding of classic photography styles
- Attention to detail to ensure a seamless merge
- Ability to meet deadlines and work on a project with a specific purpose in mind.
