Inspiring Dynamic Portraits

Majority of these portraits show the persons personality through the use of props, props can be anything as small as a cigarette right up too a plane. Most people carry items with them daily and any of these could be used as props, the items the person carries show how the person represents their self or would like to be seen as.

Props can also be a good way to get the person more relaxed infront of the camera as they feel as though the attention would be on the prop rather than them. Looking for people who are carrying small items could be a good way to get more natural looking photographs, rather than some nervous people who have been stopped in the street by strangers with a camera.
