Photography Techniques Using Green Screen.FREE GUIDE For Instance Fantasy Photo's Green Screen Photography is gaining more and more in popularity, especially among small photography studios that wish to bring something new and innovative to their business - something that the large corporate photography studios don't even bother with. Green screening, also known as chroma keying, is often the perfect edge that a small studio can use to blow the competition out of the water. But to go a step further, specializing in the fantasy photography niche can also separate you from the vast photography crowd.To begin with, there is the fantasy niche known as "sword and sorcery". Some examples include the role playing game "Dungeons And Dragons" and stories such as the "Lord Of The Rings". To take these types of pictures, shoot the client in full garb (slang for period costume) in front of the green screen, holding the weapon of their choice, such as a sword, bow and arrow, or wand. Then, use digital backgrounds such as stunning nature scenes and old architecture (especially castles). Tip: If the client wants to have that soft mystical look, take a piece of nylon and strap it to your camera lens with a rubber band. Instant softness and mystery added.Another popular fantasy niche is that of science fiction. The more obvious of this genre would be "Star Trek", "Star Wars" and "Babylon Five". However, this genre also includes "Dr. Who" (a time and inter-dimensional show) and steam punk (Victorian era running today's technology with steam). Inside of this niche there are thousands of cos-players (those who enjoy putting on a costume whenever they can) who adore having their picture taken. Some ideas for amazing pictures would be: For space travel - like Star Trek - think the observation deck (a large window with a star field behind it) or Ten-Forward cantina (shoot a modern bar for the background). For steam punk, choose interiors of old Victorian homes.A niche that is often mixed in with these two previous ones, yet also deserves it's own category, is that of fairy tales. These are the pictures of fairy folk and other gentle creatures. For these use mystical landscapes that give a sense of mystery with just a hint of mischief in store. However, don't think that fairy tales are only for small children, nor only for cos-players. Another group of people who love these types of photos are female high school seniors. Consider shooting their portrait with them in their prom dress, but then placing them in this mystical land. This ensures you provide them with instant magic and joyful memories.Finally, the last niche which can fit inside of all of these, yet also is all by itself, is that known as Anime and video game cos-play. For these types of photos, look into a lot of Asian inspired locations (both interior and exterior) as well as dilapidated locations such as an old warehouse or the remains of an ancient civilization.Overall the thing to remember when shooting a fantasy photo is that no matter how strange or outlandish the costume may be, and no matter where in the world these characters are supposed to be, as long as you can make the picture look believable to the client, you will have repeat business for years to come.Read how green screen editing can save money here.
