As a pin up model I love props...hat boxes are fun...on my last shoot which was at a garage I had a blast using the tools...how fun it is to set up vignettes for each shoot!
I like airplanes, cars, trains, pretty much keeping it real... ships - famous ships... the Queen Mary... stuff like that... Huey Helicopters from Vietnam; C-47 Airplanes from World War 2; P-51 Mustangs.
Great topic! I like single props best. Too many is overkill, gets messy, and ends up taking away from the photo instead of adding to it. Interested to see the responses here! :)
props? one of my favorite subjects.... but favorite prop? anything from in my house! like (not shown below) my turn of the century: vintage Whale Harpoon... the more vintage and lowbrow the better!
i'm a "proppy" pinup photog...
