I'd like to put two side-by-side figures with two different captions. I used this:

\begin{figure}[h!tbp]
    \centering
    \begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figures/fig1.jpg}
    \caption{Caption 1.}
    \label{fig1}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b]{0.35\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figures/fig2.png}
    \caption{Caption 2.}
    \label{fig2}
    \end{minipage}
\end{figure}

However, I suppose that because the figures' heights are different, the captions aren't vertically aligned (one is above the other). I would like to lower the upper one till it reaches the bottom one, creating a blank space between the figure and its caption. Is there a quick fix?

Just make two rows, one for images, one for captions

\begin{figure}[htbp]
    \centering
    \begin{minipage}{0.6\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figures/fig1.jpg}
    \end{minipage}%%%
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.35\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figures/fig2.png}
    \end{minipage}

    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.6\textwidth}
    \caption{Caption 1.}
    \label{fig1}
    \end{minipage}%%%
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.35\textwidth}
    \caption{Caption 2.}
    \label{fig2}
    \end{minipage}
\end{figure}
