ABSTRACT:
A photographic apparatus and method for adding artificial backgrounds. The apparatus is intended to be utilized in combination with a conventional view camera and comprises a control structure including two masking plates pivotably mounted between the film plate and the lens of the camera, which are operable to be placed in either a first operative position against the film plate or a second inoperative position along the sidewall of the camera. A background transparency is attached along with a product mask to one of the plates and a background mask is attached to the other plate. The product and background masks are created from a photograph taken of the product using positive-type film. Once attached to the plates, the two masks are aligned or "registered" with the image of the product projected through the lens of the camera, utilizing the precise alignment means provided for controlling the orientation of the masking plates. The film plate is then exposed twice; once with the plate having the background mask thereon pivoted into its operative position and again with the plate having the background transparency and product mask thereon pivoted into its operative position. The double exposure thus results in a photograph of the product situated in the desired background setting.
