Image Merging
To create a realistic photomontage that merges two images - placing the blue and orange skips from Image 2 into the setting of Image 1 (open groundwork area with trees and mound). The final result should look as though the skips were originally photographed in the groundwork yard environment. Assets Provided: Image 1: Groundwork yard with dirt, rubble, and tree line in the background Image 2: Skips from the Henshaws Skip Hire yard Design Requirements: Extract a clean cut-out of the skips from Image 2, removing background elements (e.g. the sky, surrounding yard, vehicles, and telegraph pole). Place the skips naturally into the empty groundwork area in Image 1, ideally towards the right-hand side or back section of the yard where the ground is clearer. Adjust lighting, shadows, and tones to match the environment of Image 1 (ensure skip shadows reflect the same direction as those in the original image). Final composite should look photographically real and suitable for use in marketing materials or planning applications. Deliverables: High-resolution JPEG and PNG of the final composite Optional: PSD file with layers intact for future editing

It’s slightly more complex because the edges of the image are very irregular, and I want to retain as much detail as possible.

Photographer - Milan
Need someone to take candid photos of an event in Milan on the 26th of March.
Need some photographs from the streets of Canterbury!
Dear helpful, Canterbury-based person with a camera (or even a camera phone), I am currently in the final stages of designing a fun, outdoor escape room/treasure hunt in Canterbury, but I live in Brighton! I was planning on getting a train on Thursday to get just a handful of very specific photos that I need for a few puzzles. Perhaps the money for the train ticket could be better spent sending someone local out onto the streets of Canterbury to get those snaps?? They don't need to be high-res at all, in fact we are low-res-ing them for the game which is phone-based. The locations are all within a half mile of the city center, I would imagine this will be an hour (max 2) of work.
