Props can add color, texture, or whimsy. They can be used to draw attention to the subject or mask the background, too.
Using smoke bombs and other fun props is easy to do, as well. It really is a win-win situation!
Let’s see how you can use these and other props for photography, especially as they relate to portrait photography ideas.
Smoke Photography Props
Are you at an impasse about coming up with portrait photography ideas? Using various props for photography is an excellent way to get past that problem!
With the holiday season fast approaching (some stores near me think it’s already here), we can ramp up our portrait photography business by using color smoke bombs as photography props.
Enola Gaye is my go-to company for finding just the right type of color smoke bomb or other smoke effect props for photography.Their smoke bombs are perfect for holiday photoshoots such as Halloween, but they can also be used to add a fun element to other holiday photos, like Christmas and New Year’s.
Photography props like smoke bombs are also great for gender reveals and for livening up any type of scene for a fun special effect type of portrait photography. As noted earlier, smoke bombs afford you the opportunity to add color and texture to any portrait, along with a sense of fun and liveliness that is hard to achieve with other types of props.
Of course, using smoke bombs requires a good dose of responsibility. If used incorrectly, you might injure yourself or others, cause a fire or property damage, or worse.
Fortunately, using smoke bombs in a responsible manner is easy. Be aware of combustible materials nearby, watch the wind and weather, and carefully read the instructions before popping smoke. Have emergency gear on hand, too (e.g., water and a shovel to put out flames; first aid kit). Go over safety protocols with your portrait subjects as well. Read More…
