Reslly like the way the photogropher has done this. Just wondering how he done it? Im a little new to photoshop. Thnx in advance

stick the camera on a tripod, take four shots with the person in the various positions.

In photoshop, open each image as a separate layer on the same canvas (open all 4 normally, then drag three onto the other one. They will then be stacked on the one canvas), then use the eraser tool to remove each layer over the area where you want the person to show through from the layer underneath.

So, if it was a simple two image shot, with the person on the left and right, open both images and, if the top layer shows the person on the left, erase away the right hand side over the area that has him showing in the pic underneath.

Alternatively, you can simply open the two (or more) images side by side and simply use the clone tool to copy the person across from each.

Tips: Set the camera on manual, to ensure that all the shots have identical exposures (and don't shoot in 'passing cloud' conditions fror the same reason). Make sure the tripod is locked off nice and solid, or you may have registry issues, and use a remote release if possible, to avoid bumping the camera.

When processing, set the 'history' to record 99 levels (the max) so that you can easily rewind if you go wrong (and take 'snapshots' every now and again to save your position - it's in the history palette).

It's easy when you know how.

1 shot of the car with nobody in it.
4 seperate shots of him, camera is on a tripod, same setting, I don't think it would matter too much because you can just blend him in.

Then in PS stack each image on top of each other. Apply a mask. You may want to make the opacity of the layer around 70% so you can see what needs painting back in and then paint with white to carefully reveal each of the people.

I think if you grasp an understanding of PS maks, very simple ones, you'll find that it's quite easy. very easy in fact...

Google PS layer masks and all will become clear...

Godspeed

Using masks is best because if you make a mistake you can fix it pretty easy. You can also just use eraser which may be less confusing then using masks and if you make a mistake just go to history and delete your last movement.

Put your camera on tripod and use a cable release if possible or timer so there is no movement and take your 4 shots with subject moved in each one. In photoshop open your 4 (maybe more or less) photos and copy one photo and paste on to the first photo then use eraser and erase the person back into the photo. Copy the next photo and paste into the same photo and erase again. Do this until all photos are pasted into one.

When using the eraser and you want to see the person behind the photo so you can erase him, under the layer tab on bottom right of photoshop move the opacity layer down and you'll see the person you want to erase, once erased move the slider back up to 100%. This is the simplest way and easy if there is no overlapping of the person...

Thank you everyone for the help

lol.. I thought it was 4 brothers, and I was confused as to what was so special about this photo that you wanted to recreate it..
