The top image is the original the bottom left is the final image, instead of setting up a background that matched the clients imagery we simply photo shopped their current background "style" into the images, this has two benefits, A: we get consistency and B: we don't need to keep pulling apart of having a dedicated rig with the associated background setup.

One thing we find is trying to get it right in camera is impossible in terms of 100% consistency.

Photography: 4 LED 2 front, 2 rear plenty of flags to remove dark reflections, both front LED are through umbrellas, the rears are just to blow the background out a bit. (Client wants the DOF or we would have focus stacked 3 images to give sharp focus throughout the entire subject.)

Photoshop: We clipped out the top section to give us the correct background colour, the bottom half is almost the same but more care to keep the shadows again give us the correct background colour, the lenses are then clipped out where they meet the colour difference and brightened to give the effect of the two tone back ground.

‘Getting it right’ in camera is my pet hate phrase, said by the ignorant who have long since forgotten that they swapped their film camera for a digital computer.

Yes that’s right your dslr has a cpu, gpu, screen, operating system, ram, storage etc.

‘Getting it done’ is the only relevant phrase in digital imaging.

Whether that’s using the weaker computer housed within your digital camera or the more powerful computer sat in your home/business then that’s really up to you.....
