Male Model was retouched in a smart object layer. Then a clipping mask was added to the subject layer. A combination of creating a work path with the pen tool & quick selection with refine edge was used to create the mask. Below was a color fill layer with properties of #ffffff for pure white but as you can see by the screen shot below it can be easily changed if the client ever wants to change the background color.
Multiple paths created example.
Highlights and shadows folder created with multiple color fill layers.
Product Lamps were retouched and multiple paths were created to achieve a proper mask for each product. Three paths were created for this example : Inner path, Sharp outer path and feather/ soft outer path.
