It’s the difference between capturing an image and creating an image. I don’t even understand your thinking and I have been in photography for nearly 40 years, if there is anyone who sould be arguing against post, it should be me, but these guys are getting the HUGE checks, because they are delivering what the CLIENT WANTS and the client could not care less whether it was done in post or in the camera, they only want what is going to best illustrate and sell their product or service.

Some image concepts are never going to be created in camera, regardless of how pure or good you imagine your skills to be. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!.

Shoot everything RAW, then that eliminates colour issues for White Balance.

Shoot Background first I guess, then you can always match/recreate the lighting in studio afterwards, then only tweaking in post production really.

I think the main issue to consider is the direction of which the light is coming from on the background, so it doesnt confuse the eye in post. However a lot of composites have strong rimlights to give that edge/separation anyway.

Im curious, when you do composites and shoot your back ground separately…. your back ground may have different lighting, shadows and colors than your subject. do people shoot their back grounds specifically for a subject or idea later? or do they shoot nice back grounds and collect and sit on them until they need them later and happen to have one that works for a subject they shoot later down the road? or are they just so good at post production work that even if the lighting/colors/shadows are off in the back ground image they can fix or change it later to match?

I do really like images but there is waaaay too much post production in these pictures…
there isn’t even a single background left from the original picture…
I’m sorry but thats really too much and is weird to watch

Do love advanced light setups like these, although in this instance not sure if it suited the country walk/golf scenarios. Think rest were great.

Agreed – would like a bit of a photographer biased BTS with explanations etc.
