Hi, I am not great at photoshop but am learning.  I also love the shoots that look like they were done in a loft apartment or warehouse or spacious yet sparsely furnished room.

Here are a few raw files if anyone wants to try or explain how best to do it.

What’s wrong with the room she’s in already?

Nothing.  I want to see what is possible so that I can replicate the work when I want to,

I'm probably missing the point entirely here, but it seems to me that the easiest and most effective way of achieving your goal would be to simply eliminate the room where you're shooting entirely by using a green screen as here__ https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110608/07/4def8b3b88ba3_m.jpg[/url]

The lake is in  Connecticut, the stone balustrade is part of the Central Park weather station in New York, the model and everything in front of the balustrade are in a room with one green painted wall.  If you don't have a wall you can dedicate for the purpose, Walmart will sell you a fabric screen for as little as $15.00.

All IMHO as always, of course

The first step is to photograph the subject into a chromakey friendly way...

For proper image extraction you mainly need:

-FG(foreground model) with sharp edges
-Homogeneous BG(background)
-Very good luminosity contrast between the FG and BG
The model must not cast shadow into the BG wall, this will diminish the luminosity contrast between FG/BG.

Transparent stuff will make things harder and colored BG may spill color into the model.

For the extraction process, there are many tutorials
