Green Screen Portaits

Thought I would share this. I shoot 90% of my portraits on a green screen. As most of my clients are professional people, not seniors or weddings, this lets them choose a color background to match company logo, decor, the frame, what ever.
This is the original. The next 2 are loaded in Photo Key 5 Pro. No expensive photo shop plug in. Photo Key is a very powerful, feature rich, stand alone program. It is amazing! No, I don't get paid to promote them. But if you are looking for the perfect software, I think this is it.
This is me by the way... Handsome fella huh?

Very nice.
One thing that I noticed that you've done that might not be apparent to anyone wanting to try this is that your depth of field goes front-of-head all the way to back-of-head...every hair is sharp all the way back.
If you don't acheive that, it's much more difficult to extract someone from the background.
I use a white background myself, but same idea.
Nicely done by the way.

Thanks! I've never done white screen. Wouldn't work too well for my clientele ( White shirts and ties). But the beauty of Photo Key is that you load the pic and it does it for you. Of course, you can go in and tweak. It has other features like skin touchup, color temp, spill, and effects like softness, vignette, and more.
I try to start my DOF at the eyes and go back. Thanks for noticing.

These are very nice. Been wanting to get a program like this. Will have to look into this.

Nice work and a good use/reason for swapping backgrounds.
rpavich's observation about focus is a great one that has caused me grief at times. Thanks for the tip!
I'm glad this isn't another post with poorly executed photos using two scenes with very different lighting. I love cheese, but not that smelly variety.
