GreenScreen: Lighting & Photoshop
$25.00Studio Lighting
As a photographer you are responsible for controlling the lighting on the subject, posing the subject, the props, the expression of the subject and the background. In many instances the background is often an afterthought for photographers, or not given much thought at all. Although the background can make or break a portrait and is often the difference between a standard portrait and a WOW portrait. In this video we will show you how to create a portrait with the WOW factor through the use of Greenscreen backgrounds.
By using greenscreen technology you can create exciting images without all the expense of buying canvas backgrounds that can cost several hundred dollars each. The beauty of this technology is the fact that we can place our subject in front of any of 1000's of backgrounds after the shot has been taken. In this video we will walk you through the process of creating greenscreen images from start to finish.
