"Fake" backgrounds for a series of portraits, what do you think?

I wanted these portraits to look somehow compensed with neon light, I mean, I shoot a person with strobe lights and then get a another background and I photoshop them together, I would love to make it in the same place, but I would need ND's for the lights, and we don't have them, in my country, they're hard to find. So I though of shooting people in a studio envioroment and merge them with neon backgrounds, I made a test, and this is it, then I made another test, but it wasn't with a neon light background, let me know what you think.

PD I think I will only shoot 3 and try to make an RGB thingy there, I don't know yet, what I would like to know is how it looks, does it look attractive?

    Did you use a green screen to shoot the person?

    It works for me because you've matched the colors. The blue in the walls plays off the blue in his shirt. Yes, it's attractive.

    No, I didn't use chroma key effect on this one, I only did that once with some products, but not with people, even though I really don't like strobes that much, I would love to do more documental stuff with real light, anyways, now I'm back at the studio working for a local clothing brand, sigh, thanks for watching and I should finish this fake background stuff, thanks for watching.

    PD I'll leave a couple I did on sunday, for the local brand :)
