Have any modles worked with ditigal backgrounds, if so did you like the results?

Do you mean green screen, photoshop composites, or seamless paper?
Or those preprinted backgrounds that have scenery printed on them?

Sorry, no not the green screen. From what I have seen they come on a cd you load on your computer and work with it as a layer.

You'd still be using a green (or other color) background to facilitate extracting the model to place on the background layer.  As a photographer, I have a great time playing with them but I generally either shoot my own or construct the backgrounds in computer

As a model I've only done one such modification, where they put my head on a young "hunk's" body.  http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/2014 … ohn-barton

I have worked with a photographer who had a really specialized set up where he had TONS of different backgrounds and did it all in camera, so it felt like a green screen.  I thought it was interesting. smile

I have, sometimes they come out great, other times you can tell it's not real.  I think it all depends on what the intention is and how skilled the person using the digital background is as well.
