5 Ways to Incorporate Props in Your Next Session

I ALWAYS encourage clients to bring props along to their session. While I have a number of generic props at the studio (coffee mugs, etc.) it is far more beneficial to bring along props that are in line with your brand strategy in order to tailor your session completely. Here is a quick list of five ways you can incorporate props into your next creative branding session:

1. Props can be used to bring in your brand colours. Cushions or pillows on a couch or different colour files, notebooks or pens are just some examples of how you can incorporate pops of your brand colours. If you are incorporating any electronics such as your phone or laptop, you could get a cover that matches your brand as a way to feature your brand colours., logo etc.

2. Props can be used to help personalize your photos. Incorporate items that help showcase what you do during the day. A funky planning board is a good example.

3. Props can also be used to create a connection with a potential client. Showcasing certain books on your desk or coffee table featuring titles that resonate with your audience is one such prop idea.

4. Add a few personal touches to your workspace to give clients an idea of what you’re all about. Flowers, a camera or a passport (if you love to travel) could work really well for this.

5. Detail shots such as a close up of your hands typing on your laptop or of your coffee mug next to your laptop are also some popular prop ideas.
