One of my current projects is taking portraits of attorneys for the prestigious law firm Fisher & Phillips LLP in Orange County and Los Angeles.
As the firm will be inserting their own unique backdrop for all of the executive portraits, I’m photographing the attorneys in front of a green screen. I’m using a 9 foot Superior Seamless Paper #54 Stinger Chroma Key Green Compatible.
The set-up is actually pretty simple: I pose the subject about 5-6 feet in front of the backdrop with the background lights behind them. The distance from the backdrop and the lights guarantees no shadows on the backdrop and no green color bounce. I make sure the exposures are same for the people and the backdrop.
