Digital composites and layering in Photography
Computers give photographers more accuracy
To fully understand the method of Brian H. Daniel's process of using composites and layering, we have provided some graphics to better help you visualize how it works.
In "old-school" Hollywood before the use of computers, for example, the process of rotoscoping was sometimes used.
This process, essentially, utilized the projection of the original photography onto a platform that allowed the artist to trace.

How do photographers make composites today?
In today's modern age, the use of digital editing has completely changed the game when making prints. Not only does the use of a computer to make composites save time, it reduces the costs as well. Those savings are then passed to consumers.
In this graphic, you can see a visual representation of what it means to meld a series of images together to make a composite.
For proprietary reasons, Brian can't reveal the specifics of his own processes, but this layering technique is similar to how his process works.
