Marriage is one of the most blissful events in the life of all human mortals. An event marked by unbound joy and pompous celebrations. And everyone nurtures a wish to preserve the best memories of this day. But what if you can add a little more twist to these memories. That is why most wedding photographers are now opting for green screen photography. This amazing technology is creating waves nowadays in indoor photography, photographs taken in occasions and of course, in movies. It helps the photographer to edit the images at his own will, sometimes adding things that were never present in the original set-up when the photograph was taken. To begin with, green screen photography deals with basically the chrome key. This is nothing but the mono-colored, evenly illuminated backdrop which can be replaced with another background while editing. In this case, green is the most commonly used color. Hence the name. Wedding photographers using high quality video cameras can instantly delete the backdrop and replace it with another of the client’s choice. But since the color is mechanically removed, people wearing clothes of the same color as the background have it accidentally deleted making the new background become visible in place of it.

Generally green and blue were the colors that are used as the backdrop since the hues are farthest from human skin tone. But any color can be used in place of these unless and until it gets mixed up with the color of the subject. But with the evolvement of the modern cameras it is seen that the color green is best suited for this purpose. Hence green screen photography has been standardized. Green screens are found in three types which are paint, paper and cloth. If a Dallas photographer is shooting in a studio, painting the walls will serve the purpose. But in case of wedding photographers in Dallas, who have to get to the location for the shoot this is not an option. For these occasions, green screen photography has to be carried out with paper or cloth backgrounds. Paper however can turn out to be costly in the long run, since they can be easily damaged and wrinkled and wrinkled surfaces are not well suited for they produce shadows which are difficult to conceal. Hence the best bet is always cloth. The Dallas photographer can take a sample from any supplier and test whether it suits his requirement. If it can be replaced while editing, the photographer can be sure that it will serve the purpose. Moreover cloth can be easily washed if it is soiled, since green screen photography needs the background to be clean and mono-tonic. So a good DSLR camera and a high end editing tool along with a little skill can turn your wedding memories like you had never expected. If you have been looking for Dallas photographers make sure that they are using green screen techniques. Everyone wants his or her special day’s memory to be special and rather different. This is where this much sought after technique does the trick. Hence it is presently one of the most demandable technologies.
