Background issue with photo - not lite up correctly
After the shoot I noticed I didn't light of the back all that great so the photo doesn't look all that great - other then changing out the background and replacing it with something else - is there something I can do to correct it the background in lightroom of photoshop?? thanks ...
Morning Andrew,
Done this fairly quickly with the magic wand tool in PS, select the background, then fill with white and tidy as required with a medium to small brush.
Sorry, should have tidied the r/h side, didn't notice it till uploaded, this is a very easy fix.

5 minutes using a mask technique stated on https://www.ephotozine.com/article/how-to-remove-backgrounds-from-your-images-in-photoshop-15615
Good thing about this method is it also allows you to remove the stray hairs and it's non-destructive.

I vaguely try to think that for a pure white background - you need at least 2 lights either side to blow out the background and then one+ lights to light the model. You also need some distance separation from model to background.
Same to a black background, good distance so not to light the background too. And no background light lights.
However many fashion photos now seem to have a soft shadow on the wall behind - so i assume perhaps just one diffused/bounced light back to the model/wall.

Agree with JackAllTog,
I've always lit the model separately to the background what-ever the colour it is, treat then as individual and different subjects.
For a shot similar to the above, have the model further away from the BG, 2 lights aimed roughly 45 deg to the BG and equal power, then light the model with either 1 or 2 lights and you could add a hair light if required as well.
