Why Broken Chair Monument is a great place to shoot

The Broken Chair Monument in Geneva, Switzerland, is an exceptional location for a professional photoshoot for several reasons: 1. Powerful Symbolism: The Broken Chair Monument is a powerful symbol of protest against landmines and explosive remnants of war. Its unique design—a giant chair with one broken leg—makes a bold and striking statement. Incorporating this monument into a photoshoot adds a layer of meaning and social awareness, giving the images depth and emotional impact. The monument's strong message of peace and humanitarianism enhances the narrative quality of the photos. 2. Unique and Iconic Design: The monument’s towering 12-meter-high structure creates an iconic and visually arresting backdrop for photography. The stark contrast between the massive wooden chair and its urban surroundings makes the Broken Chair a distinctive and memorable setting. Its unique design offers opportunities for creative compositions and angles, emphasizing both the monument’s scale and its significance. 3. Strategic Location in Place des Nations: The Broken Chair is located in the Place des Nations, right in front of the United Nations Office in Geneva. This location provides a meaningful connection to international diplomacy and human rights, adding context and significance to the photos. The area’s expansive plaza and fountains, along with the flags of various nations, offer a dynamic backdrop that reflects the global and political importance of Geneva. 4. Urban and Contemporary Atmosphere: The modern, urban setting of Place des Nations, combined with the symbolic Broken Chair, creates a contemporary atmosphere that contrasts with the monument’s poignant message. The open, expansive space allows for wide-angle shots that capture the monument against the backdrop of the surrounding architecture and the international headquarters, giving the images a cosmopolitan and socially aware feel. 5. Diverse Perspectives and Angles: Due to its height and structure, the Broken Chair offers many possibilities for creative and unique photography angles. Whether focusing on the monument’s broken leg as a close-up detail or capturing its full grandeur in a wide shot, the location allows photographers to experiment with different perspectives. The surrounding open space also provides flexibility for creating dynamic compositions that highlight the monument’s interaction with its surroundings.

Did an engagement photo shoot with Sofia and she was so good! We haven’t done photo shoots before and she directed us where to go for the best light and how to pose and the photos turned out great! 10/10
