Tight space for photoshoot
An amateur photographer took this photo of me and my proprietary exercise equipment. I’m going to repeat the photo with a professional photographer, a model, lighting and a colorful backdrop (for example, blue). However, I showed this photo to an excellent professional photographer, and he refused to take the job. He said the wall behind me is too close, and that there isn’t space for a backdrop, and that if we put a backdrop behind the model, then it would look like the model “is in a closet”. He refused the job because he said that he would be unable to generate a product that was representative of his ability and talent. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to put color in the background.

I am not a professional photographer, but have a suggestion. Ask any photographer you speak with if they’ve used the relatively new Photoshop Beta with more advanced generative fill than the latest PS release. Here’s what I did in a few minutes that expands the background. With a wider shot, so we see the back of your invention and a wider background, a scene extension might work well. BTW, Photoshop generative fill (AI) is copyright cleared as all image fragments used are from the Adobe stock library.

That AI is very clever. However, the result is a little nonsensical. It reminds me of a movie called “It Follows”, which I recently watched. In this movie, the director inserted little elements that were contradictory, like old landline phones in the same space as a modern refrigerator. Anyway, the fundamental concern I have is that the backdrop is quite close to the model, and the AI doesn’t resolve that.

I totally agree. I should have better explained my thinking. I wasn’t suggesting that this was a solution. I thought with a proper background across the entire rear wall and a wider shot showing more of your invention and the background, AI might make a decent scene extension. Using generative AI gives you many choices to choose from. In your tight location, I thought it would be an avenue to explore. It might help you achieve a very usable image. Good luck.
