I had a meeting at work today where the Internal Comms dept want me to photograph some of the staff for the website and also for a free magazine they produce.
The manager asked me if i could replicate another photographers work in that they have a white/grey background. I asked why greyish and i was told that the company they supply the images to add backgrounds to the image--similar to the green screen type of thing..Anyway this 3rd party company requested a grey background. So why would they request a grey background where in the dept we have a green screen, we have white backgrounds and lighting etc.
The pics i see already have an unlit white background which has gone an off white/light grey colour.. Any reason why this is preferred over a proper white background or a green screen when the model/employee will have a background added anyway?
