I found extremely hard to obtain a black BG in my closeup and macro photo, using a black fabric and natural light with long exposure.The BG come out in shades of gray, not nearly close to the deep black that I want. I was thinking of using chroma-key green-screen or blue-screen as a BG and then substitute it with black color in PP.So I can avoid complicated masking techniques to preserve all the details on the edge of the photographed item (fine hairs, textures, etc.)
Would this technique work? Did you ever tried it? Will this technique be accepted in the "ethics" of nature photography? I don't intend to use this technique outdoors, where I use the natural BG that is available...only indoors where the light and the space available make it very difficult to get that deep black BG.
I'm looking forward to your answers!
