The commission involved taking close up shots of various parts of the girls' bodies, which were then superimposed on top of each other.

I am so curious as to what that means... I'm guessing that it was kind of a "blend" but it sounds plain ugly.

I don't know, I kind of see a problem here

In the shoot in question, he was commissioned by the parents of two girls, aged 10 and 12, who were present at the shoots. The commission involved taking close up shots of various parts of the girls' bodies, which were then superimposed on top of each other. Employees at Bonusprint photolab were concerned by images showing the girls topless and called the police, and on 12 September last year, Phillips' computer was seized by the authorities.
