3. Misc. Tips Be sure you have proper lighting. Bad lighting will destroy a green screen photo. Make sure the person being photographed is not wearing any shade of green or you will have a picture with a person’s head and hands, but no body. Make sure the green screen is completely under the person being photographed and tall enough behind the person to not cut off their head. Make sure your green screen fabric is free of wrinkles or the picture will show black streaks where there were wrinkles. Tips Be sure you have proper lighting.
