I don't think that's cut & paste, I think it's dodge & burn. It's something you do while printing a negative that emphasizes the subject, in this case the man, and de-emphasizes the background. I was a news photographer in the 1970s and we did this all the time.

- williamscales 4y agoCheck out Ansel Adams’ series of books on photography, particularly “The Print”
- hoseja 4y agoI think Technology Connections on YouTube has a recent series on photo development process that mentions this.
