Photographic Poseur Modelling Stools
A challenging and integral part of any photo shoot is making a suitable environment in order to be able to take the perfect picture. Balance needs to be found between orientating the model for optimal photographs whilst ensuring the model remains comfortable for the entire shoot. For portraiture photography the emphasis is on close up shots of the face, upper torso and sometimes highly zoomed in macro shots. As the main part of the body is not included for these shots the model can be sat down, with this in mind it is extremely important that the right form of seating is chosen. If the photographer gets it right, not only will he have a happy model, but attaining the ultimate imagery will be a painless task. The advantages of choosing a modelling stool as opposed to a chair are endless. A poseur stool has the ability to rotate and swivel 360 degrees, this is an excellent bonus for a photographer, without re-positioning the chair or making the model get up and move the stool can be turned at any angle, allowing the photographer swift, hassle free access to all angles of his subject. This function also allows for the more experimental style shoots where adjusted shutter speeds are adopted to create more dramatic and atmospheric shots. A poseur modelling stool also has an adjustable height which many chairs do not, this allows the photographer to shoot low, high and from varying perspectives with extreme ease.
Styles Of Stools
Modelling stools come with seats in varied styles, shapes and sizes, with little backs, big backs and no backs. Having a smaller back or no back can allow for more flexibility in manoeuvring the subject into positions, the model can lean back and drape her body without the stool ever being visible in the shot. Being sumptuously padded and overlaid with the softest faux leather, no matter how lengthy the photo shoot these stools come with the promise of a happy and comfortable subject. Another plus point for a Poseur Modelling stool is its unique ability to protect your backdrop like no four legged chair could, the round chrome circular base is designed to distribute the weight of the stool evenly throughout the whole of the base. This is coupled with a circular rubber ring surrounding the circumference of the bases underside, both design features encourage a secure stable stool that does not leave horrible engrained marks on your paper or vinyl studio backdrop. These modelling stools are not cumbersome, awkward and hefty articles, they make location shoots a doddle, all you have to do is reduce them to their lowest height and they will fit snugly inside any car boot or back seat, still leaving plenty of room for all your photographic equipment and maybe even your model
