A chair is the main character of this story. It's the Louie Ghost by Kartell, and it has been on my Pinterest home-wishlist for years, paired with an antique writing desk. After I got my dream desk in the spring, I knew I'd one day want the Ghost chair to accompany it.
The Ghost chair appeared to me last week as a total surprise, after my man had first told me that that is one expensive ass plastic garden chair. MEN! Am I right? I still got the chair though so I guess he approves of my interior design decisions.
Like with everything, be it clothing or homewear, it needs to please the eyes and thus, work for my photography needs too, and this chair sure delivers! I was immediately inspired by how the chair can be both transparent, and make a statement, so I knew I'd be shooting with it on a white background while wearing white clothing. If I wasn't tanned right now, this photo story would have basically been see-through. Maybe I'll revisit it in the dead of winter.

You have good taste in interior design, that chair is fabulous.
Thanks, I do think so! While I love the elaborate antiques, I also appeciate the Skandinavian design style, sleek, simple and functional.
It's not just a chair. It's a 3-in-1. Chair, Special Lens and a prop. Whatever was paid, divide it by 3. ;-)
That amount to ”very reasonably priced” 😁

He better, I’m doing justice to his design! 😛
Legit safety issues in that last photo Eve.
I just took myself a health insurance so it’s fine. Though maybe I should have ticked the ”I’m an athlete” box 😂
Lol, funny. Yeah after you slip and fall they'll be able to reconstruct your face I guess...Did you get life insurance also though? Standing on chairs like that...It might come in handy.
Good snaps though. Ghosty.
😊
I had some old life insurance and I'm worth 5000€ 😂😂
A goodly sum indeed...Probably not worth your beneficiary ending your life to collect though. Although...
🤪
I was thinking YIKES, right after the last shot!
Not only is that plastic chair sleek and stylish, but it is a lifesaver, too!
Before attempting any more acrobatics, make sure someone has the keys to your HIVE, to give us an update, when they do a photoshoot from the doctors office.
Lol.
😂 glad you didn't listen to 'your man' on the chair being just simply a chair, and still got it. Without it, we couldn't have gotten the chance to enjoy your amazing photos in the white background.
Cheers!
Well, he got it for me so he kinda listened to me :D I would have gotten it either way though. Thanks!
Like the other post, they almost look like photo-realistic pencil drawings of you.
