Background replacement
From a commercial viewpoint, background replacement is frequently a cost-containment technique. When location shooting is impractical or cost prohibitive, shooting with planned background replacement is very effective to achieve a desired visual effect. This is one of those cases.
I shot the original in at the clients premises in the
most convenient location for the raw group shot.
I removed the original background and substituted a
previously shot kitchen background, saving a logistical
problem in shooting in the kitchen location.
I also
removed a bandage on one of the participants.
