Abstract
A camera support for electronic-flash proximity photography is formed from a substantially flat support having openings therethrough for the camera lens, the flash and for viewing the object to be photographed. The underside of the support carries three pivotally mounted extendible legs which in their extended position mount the camera above the object to be photographed, the ends of the legs being positioned in such a manner relatively to the lens opening as to effectively form two sides of a framing rectangle; in their retracted position these legs are attached to the underside of the support in a triangular manner about the lens opening. The support also preferably includes a light diffuser formed in the opening coincident with the flash.
