How do I get the background like this photo

My light will have to go the opposite way, but looking to achieve this type of photo.

Hi Chelsee, do you intend for your photo to be black-and-white as well?

[Chelsee.Marcuz]

I haven't passed the raw class yet, so I haven't signed up for levels..so color will have to do for now!

Although, I do love the black and white...

Then may I see a colour photo example of a background you like?

Or more explanation of what you want, exactly?

Ok, so you pretty much want the background you already have, but with a bit more vignetting, is that right?

Do you also want to know how to do the purple colouring?

[Chelsee.Marcuz]

Yes exactly! Is it a gradient layer? And then how do you make sure you don't make it obvious around her hair

[Damien Symonds]

Is this what you mean?

[Chelsee.Marcuz]

Yes! Would I be able to make the background more of a tan color rather than the one it is? With the vignette 

[Damien Symonds]

How about this?

[Chelsee.Marcuz]

Yes!!! Exactly!! ?

I think I did well! This is a phone upload, hopefully it doesn't look too bad! Thank you so much!

Would you mind checking your colorspace real quick? This one looks a lot more green on my phone than the earlier version and I don't know if that's because you made changes to your edit or if it's just because I'm on my phone. But I'd double check just to be sure!

@Samantha LaRue Thank you! I checked the color space and it is correct. I did however change the color tone of the background.
