We know it is going to be so beautiful on Jessica's Wedding Day there in June. Once all her decorating is done, we going to be shooting a 360° Virtual Tour to memorialize how Jessica made it her own. The 360° Virtual Tour will also be updated on our website beside in Jessica's virtual wedding album.

Green screen background and green screen floor.

There are plenty of software which enables people to change any kind of background and place a different background behind the subject(s). No green screen or blue screen required.

However, the issues vary between applications and other software. The two main issues are final output resolution and quality of the separation of subject(s) from the background. I can also add both background elements and foreground elements (usually in the form of studio props and foreground usually beautiful outdoor folliage to compliment outdoor images whether actually shot outdoor in our Portrait Park or shot entirely in the studio).

I have green screen software that does a better job at much higher resolution so I may print photographs well over 16"x20" without pixelation and other issues.

So, no. Using green screens is not "old school" or means the photographers using green screens are not keeping up. We are actually ahead of the game. The fact that multimillion dollar movie productions are still using green and blue screens should tell you something. 🙂 (responding to critic).

Announcement: I've gotten too busy with wedding photography, the studio, designing and hosting Virtual Wedding Albums and multimedia lab work so I've made the decision today to no longer support The Six Counties+ Business Directory and Wedding Venues & Vendors East Tennessee Group. 55+ hours a week is too much. Not counting real estate shoots are about to kick in again as well.

Top Class Portraits is where you will usually find me now on Facebook besides the website https://www.topclassportraits.com

Next few hours I will be finishing up the changes to make full-featured Spinner Galleries work for those with whom I share professional relationships. I will still be posting Venue virtual tours inside wedding albums and even more. The full-featured Facebook Spinner Galleries will be hosted on Top Class Portraits website.

Wow. I've got to tell you I'm so glad to be able to start putting more of my time and focus on Top Class Portraits services and networking with other wedding pros!

I'm so glad that I'm not one of those people who shamelessly promotes themselves all the time. It's just not that kinda man. 😊

By the way, the 360° aerial views and virtual tours of wedding venues brides may have in their Virtual Wedding Album are a LOT better Quality than this 360° real estate photography aerial view hosted here on Facebook. But this is a great feature of Facebook and it makes a very good transition or pathway to your full-featured 360° virtual tours.

When I post a Sneak Peek of your Wedding Day photography on Facebook, it will include a few 360° aerial views of your wedding ceremony and how you decorated the venue. Be sure to share with your venue so they can show how you decorated the venue to make it your own on your Wedding Day.

I respect your privacy. It is up to you whether to make your Virtual Wedding Album public to share with all or only with who you select. Just let me know if I may publicly share your entire Virtual Wedding Album.
