20 Unique Blog Props You Will Want To Use!

blog-photography-prop-ideas

Blog photography is seriously my jam! I love nothing more than styling products for photographing and then seeing the results when I upload the shots to my laptop. There are just so many ways in which you can photograph products and get creative! So today I thought I'd share with you 20 prop ideas that are not only cheap but can be used over and over again. 

Hope you can take a few of these prop ideas away with you for your own blog photography!
 
Dried or pressed flowers 
Micro fairy lights (these copper wire ones especially!) 
Magazine pages
Contact paper (basically sticky back plastic) - wood or marble effect (found here or in DIY stores)
Plain revision or index cards for swatches (eBay here)
Water spray bottle for shower/bath products 
Bunch of Baby's Breath flowers (these! And yes, very creepy name!) 
Loose ribbons entwined around products 
Different patterned materials under products - try inexpensive pillow cases 
Recycle paper sizzle from gift boxes

Free wallpaper samples (B&Q and Homebase are great places for this)
Christmas tree decorations any time of year
Loose hessian material for nature/organic product posts 
A large mirror under products 
Patterned scarves to suit the season
Play around with strong shadows instead of avoiding them! 
Sprayed white boxes to tier products 
A single large tile or small decorative tiles 
Crushed up or smeared makeup (of course only old, out of date products!)
Large slate background with added chalk writing

Let me know which you will be trying out or even already use in your own photography! 

Fee xo.

This was exactly the post I needed right now! Thanks for sharing! :) http://theurbanobsessions.blogspot.com
I love the idea of dried or pressed flowers! That probably makes for really pretty pictures. I'm personally a fan of adding small rings or other interesting jewelry into pictures.

I'm always trying my best with the backgrounds for my photos and sometimes I just cannot find anything. I've recently bought the cheapest marble board and I'm literally addicted to it right now. However, magazines are also very VERY good for photos backgrounds:)

Some great ideas - I love to see good photography on blog posts. I've just bought some marble sticky back plastic and love it! Need to make sure I don't go crazy with it though...!

Amazing ideas! Props help photos look more lively. I also like cute dishes and even cuter cookies as props some times.
