Face Hiding and Green Screen Photo Question

[LushLeanora]

Apologies if these have been covered already.

Due to work and family reasons I can't do face shots (in the photo sense, I'm ok with a partner coming on my face as long as I have warning).

I generally crop my face out. I could put items in front, etc. I'm ok with showing my hair, but not my face, anyone have suggestions?

I recently acquired a photo backdrop stand and have or have ordered some basic colors. I'm mostly into landscape photography, but trying to branch into portrait, practicing on myself

My day job is unrelated to photography. But I'm thinking portrait photography, especially boudoir might be a nice supplement after I retire to make some spending money. I'm practicing on myself.

I ordered a greenscreen backdrop. How do I go about melding them with my landscape photos?

I live in a fairly populated area, so outside nudes aren't an option unless I want to get arrested. I'd ideally like to do greenscreen nudes and then mix them with a landscape of my own.

But how does that affect the sense of proportion and aspect ratio? I've tried photomerge in photoshop a few times, but it looks like I'm Godzilla inflicting my wrath !

Thanks, just cleaned up a bit

This is technically possible, is it available?

Phone apps that decorate photos are out there. There are panorama apps that photo-stitch things together. I'd think there'd be an app that allowed YOU to provide some of the decorations or photos from your "My Pictures" or what ever your phone names the folder.

I had an old phone that combined what the camera was showing and a bunch of information with the intention you could walk around watching the phone while not running into a building. The superimposed information was a kind of "virtual reality" with things like property lines, setbacks, utility location information.

(I don't remember how/where it got all that info. We did have to build a "package" describing the property at the office and load it into the phone before hitting the field. Discarded the app when I lost access to the info package builder & data bases, so I have no more information.)
​

Going just a step further, is there an app which will superimpose things on what the camera is seeing?

Obviously, first would be the background picture. Then the app adds in the current camera view. If transparency information (the "green" in the green screen behind your subject) is unavailable, it could just rapidly swap between the two images. Extra points for being able to crop/zoom the background picture.

Now you can "compose" your photo, moving the phone to see where your real camera and lighting ought to go.

Then your green screened picture and your background picture might be real close to what you want, so IrfanView (Edit::Inset Overlay/Watermark) or some simple photo editor can merge them into what you expect.

Sorry, I having NO IDEA of what's available to download. I'm not sure I could even construct a good search query. But I promise you as a professional programmer, an app like that should be a very realizable idea.

Just depends on how much money you want to throw at it. If you are looking for something simple you can try Green Screen by DoInk as an app. Getting the light temperature to match is doable by software, but you will need to work out the direction of the light in the background you wish to use and then try to match it up.
