Is this a real question? The green background won't change your equipment. And you can find information on Google. Ariel

If you don't know the answers to these questions, you don't need models, you need a basic portraiture book. Let us know what your skill level is and someone can certinly suggest one. Ariel, the answer to your question is most likly no.

i am a beginner...i have lots of experience with natural lighting and rather less with studio. I posted this question just for any tips on making my pictures come out just that much better.

If you don't have much studio experience, then I hope this shoot is for practice and not an important job. Especially if you haven't worked much with studio lighting. Lenses for shooting with a green screen wouldn't be any different than any other shoot. Although, as is always the case, a better lens will give better results. The sharper your lens is, the better your separation from the background will be. Lighting is pretty important, though. You want your green screen to be lit evenly and consistently to make it easier to key on the color and replace it cleanly afterward. Shadows or hotspots on the background will mean more work in editing. Your model should be as far away from the background as possible, for two reasons: It will help prevent shadows on the background from the lights on your model. It will also prevent the green screen from reflecting a green cast on your model. If your model is too close to the background, you might not see this problem during the shoot, but later you will probably have trouble separating her hair from the background. This might seem obvious, but make sure the model doesn't wear anything even close to the color of the green screen. Good luck,

I don't mind causing a little static. So do you have a lot of experience, or are you a beginner?
