The chair next to you could become the ideal accessory to make your next portrait session one-of-a-kind.  So, how can you integrate a chair into a studio portrait session?

First, Gavin emphasizes the importance of illuminating both the model and the chair with proper lighting. He then demonstrates how to incorporate the whole chair into the frame and composition. Finally, he shows how a chair can serve as both a prop and a posing aid.
