Get to Know How Fashion Props Boost The Beauty of Uniforms

Props can enhance and/or detract from a fashion image. In general, photographers new to fashion photography should keep it simple. Adding too many props may complicate lighting, posing, and composition. It’s important to master your interaction with the model, conquer technique, and then focus on props/backgrounds to help express your vision. That being said, props can also be extremely useful tools for enhancing the mood of an image or revealing an aspect of the subject—especially in portraiture.

There are several considerations to keep in mind when working with props. Is the prop the central focus of the image or an addition to the overall feel of the image? Is the prop meant to communicate something about the image, or is it a graphic element? The answers to these questions will help you decide the lighting and composition of the image. To what do you want the viewer’s eye drawn–the prop, the model, or the clothes?

Props can be extremely useful for inspiring fashion images and helping you to think outside the box. I find props online (eBay), at thrift stores, antique stores, and arts and crafts stores. When you start to work with more experienced stylists (who manage the clothing and props), they may have access to really bizarre pieces that help make an image appealing. Furthermore, if you’re located in a city, you may find prop houses that can provide interesting pieces for purchase or rental.
