I am the owner/operator of Coffin House Studios Photography, our specialty is Green Screen Photography. Everything in my profile is from a green screen. I have only been working in studio photography for a little over a year, before I did mostly free lance work for live music. I have had work published in Guitar Magazine and am currently seeking representation for publication.
I work in a magical realm of photography where the possibilities are endless. Want to explore the ocean without getting wet? Be in the country and city at the same time? I can take you there with my award winning work. Specializing in green screen photography, I can take you anywhere you want to be.
The image at right is entitled Fallen. It was shot with a Canon Rebel T3i, the subject of the photo was shot on a green screen back drop. Heather used 4 Newer strobes, 2 to light the back drop and 2 to light the model. From there Heather used photokey5 to remove the green screen from the image and to place and arrange the size and angle of the model onto another photograph, birds eye view of a square staircase spiraling down, the model is placed in the stairwell to give the illusion of falling down the stair case in slow motion. A focal zoom was added to the models face and arms to add depth to the illusion. This photo is published in “Best of 2013 Photography”, 300 photos out of over 500,000 were chosen for this anthology. It received an award for structure, composition, and illusion of depth.
