I had been wondering how this can be done when both are actually the same person.
It's not for a challenge or anything so I can edit or even merge photos :) |

Take a photo of the person with their head up on something. Then take the other kneeling down. Put the two layers together and delete the pillow layer except for the person. :)

| You make it sound so easy, but I don't want ugly deletion marks and it won't look smooth. |

Well your delete has to be pretty accurate, yes. But it's possible. And if you delete and feather or delete with a soft brush, the edges won't be hard lines.

Photograph the person in the two desired poses with solid green or blue screen background.
The background makes it easier to extract the images which can be layered onto a suitable background.

Is it possible to do it with a multiple exposure??
I know you do them with the Fuji 6900Z.
But then, what do I know? |

Well, it sure demands a lot of accurate deleting work. Yet, I think that there's a tiny short-cut. Not saves a lot of work, but maybe some it does: instead of placing the person's head on a pillow that you will have to delete afterwords, you can try placing him on the knee of a second person who wears the same trousers, who is built pretty much the same physically and who is sitting at the exact position you would like the other person to later sit. Then you don't have to delete around the head, but only the background altogether, and the merging of both images will be "behind" the head.
The trick is to not move your camera at all between the shots, so that you will have the exact background and shadows in both images.
I have tried something pretty simillar that was inspired by Kiwiness
(yes, I know the photograph is bad regarding it's lighting and the "head-cut" I did. But my brother would not sit still! I had to steal those from him  Hopefully he will like it enough to recreate it someday...)
