Light can be a photographer’s best friend or can be their worst enemy. The Modahaus series of photo accessories gives iPhoneographers and smartphone photographers some portable and easy to use tools to help better control your light and your scene when shooting isolated small objects. You can do a lot with these tabletop stands and cycloramas. We’ve got some examples down below.
Life In LoFi and Modahaus Photo Accessories have teamed up to giveaway a MODAHAUS Steady Stand SS300. To see how you can win one, keep reading past the jump. >>>
Modahaus offers several lightweight tabletop photographic accessories, including stands and cycloramas in several sizes. They’re all designed from the ground up for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, Androids, and most compact cameras. iPhone 5 adaptors now shipped with SS200+SS300 and iPhone 5 user modification for SS100SP
The cycloramas can be used as a versatile backdrop for shooting small objects. This is a great accessory for using your iPhone, Galaxy, Nokia, or small camera to shoot your own product shots for your website or online business.
The Modahaus Steady Stand series are pretty ingenious. You can shoot pin-sharp, totally square-on, precisely composed, overhead product photographs with no harsh shadows in a snap with the Modahaus Steady Stand.The stands themselves also serve as light diffusers which gives you a nice overall soft uniform white and helps to minimize Or eliminate harsh shadows. Simply position your light sources perpendicular to the unit.
These small stands are surprisingly versatile. You can use your iPhone or smart phone for small product photography. Photo artists can create interesting collages. Use your iPhone as a scanner to digitize old photographs for archiving and restoration. The larger stands make a great way to quickly and easily scan and digitize paper documents. See the gallery below for sample images of the SS300 in use.
The Steady Stand series comes in 4 sizes. Each comes with complete accessory pack and ‘Smart Wallet’. The products are made of lightweight plastic that should hold up over normal use.
The Modahaus steady stands fold up and store nicely. They’re a lot less clunky than cutting up an old gallon milk jug to use as a homemade tabletop light diffuser.
