Also true. And if you take a picture with a model against a dark background and want to cut her out and place her on a light background, you can still see the original background color ever so slightly on the outlines, as a sort of a glow/shadow, no matter how carefully you cut her out. So I would actually prefer a neutral background, not too light, not too dark. But now I'm just going into too much detail, it doeasn't matter THAT much, and issues like that are easy to correct in PS

More important than the background is the pose anyway. Needs to be natural, and for example, if she's laying on a bed/sofa, not have the duvet/pillows cover parts of the model. But so far all the work I've seen from Dean have had no such problems, and I frequently dream about getting to work with such amazing content
