For those who are regular visitors to trade shows, they know what types of photo opportunities are available in such places. The promotion staff as well as professional models that are hired to promote the products showcased, are friendly and always ready to pose for photographs with the visitors. So, the next time you plan to visit a trade show of any kind, don't leave your 35mm compacts or SLR cameras at home.

Right, they are not real people but merely mannequins. Depending on the monitor resolutions of your Windows or Macintosh computers, most web-surfers may be mistaken these mannequins for real people at first glance.
