What Props to use in your Autumn Photography
16:58:00
Using props in a photo shoot always adds a really interesting
element to the photos as they add a personal aspect to them, and they’re also
great for helping the person on camera feel a little more relaxed and natural.
If you have a photo shoot booked and it’s coming up soon, or you’re
starting to look into companies like Venture that offer great shoots,
we’ve come up with some inspiration regarding what props to use in a great
autumn shoot.
Leaves
Leaves are the obvious choice and they do really work wonders in an
autumn themed photo shoot. The amazing colours and varieties that you can find can
work well for any complexion/hair colour and for any age range. Use one or two
‘statement’ ones or go for a whole pile to walk through, throw or lie in for a
really lovely, pretty autumn feel.
Pumpkins
An ultimate autumn staple is the pumpkin, especially as they’re not
just limited to Halloween with amazing pumpkin recipes cropping up almost
everywhere at this time of year (also great for knowing what to do with them
after the shoot!). Photos of pumping carving can be really sweet, yet they work
really well without any gimmicks due to the bright colours and block shapes.
Umbrellas
Channel British fashion when it comes to our weather and use an
umbrella in your shoot. These can make for really romantic shoots or for sweet
family photos if you’re all huddled together under one really big one. You
could give little ones their own one too which will look cute, complete with
matching rain coat and wellies for the full effect.
Wellington boots
Autumn is the ideal time for jumping in puddles and leaves, so
wellies are a must! Little ones look adorable in wellies and they’ll absolutely
love getting the chance to jump around in puddles and leaves getting messy.
Conkers and pine cones
Make a real occasion of going pine cone or conker picking as a
family by incorporating them in your autumn family photo shoot. Using them to
play a game is a really good way to create natural looking photos which will be
great too if you’d rather showcase your family’s true personality rather than
just having staged photos.
Apples
Apples, like pumpkins, seem to get really popular at this time of
year and they make the perfect addition to an autumn photo as a result. Whether
you want to go for toffee apples on sticks, barrels of apples or photos of you
and your family apple picking, they make for really sweet photos that will have
that cosy ‘apple pie’ feeling.
Cosy blankets/jumpers
Perfect for photo shoots in autumn featuring newborn babies or
toddlers’, using a cosy blanket is the perfect way to give a photo that cosy
and warm feel. Cosy blankets or big jumpers also make great additions to family
or couple’s autumn photograph thanks to the romantic feeling they create, too.
