Five Easy Props to Use for Your Personal Branding Session

Personal branding photography is all about showcasing your unique personality and style. Props can be a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your photos – as well as give you something to do with your hands! Here are five easy go-to props that you can use for your professional photos for business.

First Up is a Coffee Mug or Tumbler

This prop is perfect for those who love their morning coffee. Holding a mug in your photos can give off a cozy and approachable vibe. Plus, you can use your favorite mug to add a pop of color or show off a fun design. Mugs can also be customized with text that fits your brand or shows a message.

Next is Your Laptop

If you work remotely or spend a lot of time on your computer, using a laptop as a prop can help convey your professional side for business branding photography. It can also be a great way to showcase your website or social media profiles.

Your Cell Phone

Another versatile prop that can be used in a variety of ways is your cell phone. You could hold it up to your ear to show that you're always on the go or use it to take a selfie for a more casual look. Or show yourself taking a zoom call.

Bring Your Journal

A journal is a great prop for those who love to write or brainstorm ideas. Even if you spend most of your time typing on a computer, a journal can symbolize the creative process that you go through to put your ideas into words. Having a notebook in your photos can show that you're creative and organized. You can even write a few key words or sketches on the pages to add a personal touch. For example, if you’re a web designer you could sketch a quick homepage layout in the journal.

Tools of Your Trade

Finally, for those in a creative field using tools of your trade as props can be a great way to showcase your skills. Holding a camera or a set of paintbrushes can show that you're passionate about your craft and take your work seriously. Your ideal clients will love to see you in action.
