How To Choose Props For Your Photography Session

Any photography session seems incomplete without the right set of props. Props, whether they be extravagant or simple, really add an element of personality that make your pictures stand out. They are especially useful when photographing portraits. However, choosing props is a strategic task. You must make sure they’re neither too overpowering nor too simplistic. So, to make sure you have the perfect photoshoot, we have prepared a list of tips that will help you choose your prop for you next photography session.

How Many Props Are Too Many?

While choosing the number of props you should consider several things like your subject, the look you are going for and your personal style. If you are doing a wedding shoot many fancy props would look as good as just a few simple ones, depending on your location and preference. On the other hand, baby photoshoots usually look better with many toys and props for the baby to play with. You can test out different settings and see what looks best! Just make sure it doesn’t look to cluttered or random.

Use Meaningful Props

Using props that are hold some meaning for the model or the theme can really enhance your photographs. You can add your baby’s favourite stuffed animal while photographing them or use an accessory that holds some sentimental value. Meaningful props automatically add more depth to your picture.

Props With A Purpose

When choosing props make sure that they are relevant and realistic. The best way to do this is to set a theme for your photoshoot and choose a location and supporting props that are related to it. For example, if you’re doing an academia themed photoshoot you can go to a library and use props like books, rustic tables and chair or timepieces.
