It’s hard to explain in words. http://www.youtube.com/user/virtualbackgroundstx TESTIMONIALS Recently on a visit to Virtual Backgrounds in San Marcos, Jim Wilson introduced us to the seven piece poswr. It is a very non traditional looking piece but when Jim began to demonstrate just how practical and easy it is to pose individuals, couples, and families on one poser, we were sold. No more rolling in stools! Our studio clients love how quickly and easily we can pose their entire family without the added stress of rolling stools and unstable posing blocks. One more thing. We have also used it on location and it worked like a dream. Thank you Jim and Virtual Backgrounds for introducing us to this product. Charles and Kate Caudillo Professional Event Photographers We all know how difficult it can be to place family members at proper levels and angles when creating family groupings. We have doen it for years for churches, schoolsservice clubs, etc. Each time we tend to be somewhat under the gun, trying to pose the group as quickly and efficiently as possible. Nancy and I have looked at many possibilities over the years. We’ve used boxes, stools, gear cases, etc. and it was always the same old story. When attending a Virtual backgrounds session in April, we noticed a unique rather interesting bench with a number of easy to use height attachments. We got to use it during our posing session. What a neat tool to have. Nothing to assemble, nothing to break from too much weight. We do quite a number of church directory portrait sessions as well as weddings. Our 7 piece poser has become a mainstay in our equipment list. I would not want to operate without it. Russ and Nancy Hanson
*THE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER'S* *PERFECT STORM* Note: In order to view the e-books, you must first register HERE Click here to download PDF Hard copy FREE upon request Henry Oles, President and Founder of Virtual Backgrounds, has just released this very powerful book called *The Professional Photographer's Perfect Storm.* This new 73 page book covers a wide variety of potentially catastrophic issues that face professional photographers today. Many photographers are thinking about these issues, but until now, no one has formally presented them from the platform or in print. The primary concern is the effect millions of amateurs (who have digital cameras equal to or better than those used by professional studio photographers) will have on the future of professional photography. As professional photography moves more and more into producing candid or photojournalistic portraiture and weddings, our end products come closer and closer to that which can be produced by the amateur. The Professional Photographer’s Perfect Storm not only reviews the problem but also presents a variety of ways professional photographers can effectively deal with the “storm.” The Professional Photographer’s Perfect Storm is available without charge from Virtual Backgrounds.

TOUCH OF WARMTH REFLECTORS The Touch of Warmth Reflector was developed by "Big Daddy" Don Blair. These reflectors are a combination of silver and pink squares on one side and black on the reverse side. This combination produces a warm, pleasing skin tone versus the golden cast of gold reflectors or the cool look of the plain silver reflectors. The black side can be used for light subtraction. All reflectors are collapsible and come with a convenient travel pouch. They come in three sizes: 32" round, 42" round and 42" x 72" oval. Reflectors are sold individually or in kits (with arms and stands).To read a Rangefinder article about Don Blair and his use of the Touch of Warmth Reflector click here.
