And in short, the answer is yes, please!

Props can bring a whole new level to your brand photo shoot to really show off parts of your personality and your business that people might not normally see.

Sometimes when I mention using props it puts people off and they worry about what to include in their sessions. So below, I’ve listed a few of the bestthings you could use.

Your business tools

Do you work behind a laptop, create sketches, use diaries, or cookbooks? All of these things can be used and sourced very easily from your own business. If you sell products, you could also show these off to.

Bargain shops

I always encourage my clients not to spend too much money when it comes to their photo shoots, but sometimes, especially when you’re having a shoot at home, you might want to liven the space up. Shops like Home Bargains, B&M and Poundland can be great for finding cheap home accessories & stationary that might soften or brighten up your photo shoot.
