with green screen........you can use any jpg or tiff as the background.
you can use any of your photographs or scans .
if you photograph the pictures....you might have to do a bit of setting the brightness and contrast

I concur the lighting must be exact or it looks "fake"

Why buy what you can create..... but more often than not, unless greenscreening, I would rather shoot with a acceptable background in place - hate to add more post that needed.

1. You can take any image and subject it to Photoshop's lens blur. Given you find the right adjustments on its various sliders, you can create pleasing bokeh.
2.Shoot any scene out of focus to achieve the same effect.
3. Take the 3-5 most dominant colors in an individual or group portrait. Use each one to create a small geometric shape. Spread copies of each shape and color all over the image. Blur it enough to create the desired appearance.
You can use any of the above as a background. I am sure you know that you can extract the foreground (image of a person or people) with the "refine mask" option in the selection menu.

The way I make 1000s of backdrops. Go to bing or goole images get the image you need, right click put it in your PC picture file. Then go to file and open with Photoshop any. In Photoshop go to file, blank, make it the size you want 8x10 what ever. Then drag your picture (hold down shift key till you hit the chick) to the blank. Thats it.
I use PSE10 for this its faster then PS6 for me.
I buy 1000s of templates from ebay save time in making them. I have had Photoback make some for me, good people to deal with. Check this out tommow http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qE7G5p2xbHI
I had some 50s banners made with these people great to work with. http://www.stumpsparty.com/catalog.cfm?cat=54015
If I can help in any way let me know. Make it FUN.

I have created a library of digital backgrounds, dating way back to the days before digital cameras. I have tens of thousands of backgrounds.
That said, it is VERY important, when shooting backgrounds, to shoot as if your subject is in front of you. This involves choosing the right lens (as if shooting your subject) and also, the lens height and camera angle. Then, it is important to consider focus. You do not want a focus disparity in your composite.

I guess you have to see them at 24x36 inches on my wall, where no one can decode the compositing. They look absolutely real.
If you think you see Photoshop work, perhaps you are not used to shooting high end talent. They do look like what you see.
Oh, and if they are very plain in your view, please post something spectacular so that we all may learn by your example! Love to be inspired!
