Unusual Props

Unique prop ideas

Photographers among you are constantly in search for a new and unique prop.  Many of my friends who are fabulous photographers search high and wide for that item that no other photographer has thought of yet.  Some recent props I have seen are old suitcases.  You can find these treasures at yard sales or Goodwill and paint them in bold bright colors. You may just decide to leave them old and shabby for a beautiful black and white photo.  A gorgeous baby boy sitting inside the suit case with dad's neck tie on and clothes hanging out the side.  It doesn't get any cuter than that!  Every Time I think I have found a one of a kind prop, someone else find something just as perfect.  If you step outside the box and just take the time to look around you, the possibilities become endless. I have seen a lot of new props, but I would love to hear some of the ideas you have seen or used lately.  When we feel like we have used and tried everything, we find new inspiration.  What inspires you?
