Hi all,
I'm interested in trying to do a few composite image photographs, and I'm looking for some advice from anyone with experience in this area.
In particular, when shooting a model against a backdrop, what colour should that backdrop be? Traditionally the green/blue screen seems to be the best route since it's easy to select the colour for removal and it isn't found in most skin tones. However I can't imagine being able to remove all the green/blue without leaving a fring of colopur around the person, especially in the hair.
Is there a reliable technique here that gives perfect results?
It seems to me that my best bet is to use a white backdrop to avoid the colour fringing problem, and I notice that there are photographers who do exactly this:

Any help you can offer or sites that you can point me to would be greatly appreciated.
