Austin Green Screen Event Photography

Friday night we had the pleasure of working with a local organization here in Austin. Normally we would use our virtual background to photograph such an event, but this time they wanted to try out green screen. Green screen is great to use for events where the guests are dressed more casually and they are looking to have a fun and entertaining photography service.
This time the client selected an Austin Cityscape, their conference logo and a crazy art piece for their theme of keeping Austin weird. The cityscape was very popular, with the “keep Austin weird” guy coming in a close second.
With very limited space to setup our background we ended up shooting with only one light in an area that was only about 8′x8′. If you are going to attempt to shoot green screen at an event, I highly recommend you allow for more space than this (our client’s event was limited in the amount of space they were able to provide this time) because green screen done with people right up against the background will not result in very realistic images. They will often have a green haze around them… especially the blondes.
Even with the limited space and lighting that we were given, the guests just loved their pictures! We can’t wait to work with them again.
