Hmm I don't have any reflectors but I'm thinking the set up will be like this -
- iPhone to light up subject's left side
- External, wireless flash to light up green drape
- Tripod holding camera from outside
- Portable power station to power Christmas lights
Then take -
- Initial photo with green drape lit, subject lit, Christmas lights lit
- Second photo, at the same height, out of focus, photo down a road
Then in Photoshop -
Let me look up some tutorials
Also by lighting up the green drape, don't you run the risk of lighting up everything around it? I'm not sure if it's possible to light it up from the outside.
EDIT: Added a link to a higher res photo in the OP in case you need it to find out the set up. After looking at it it looks like the background was blurred in Photoshop...I'm guessing blurring it with the lens will yield better results.
