    Props for photography shoots can be made in a few hours,  and these 10 easy DIY ideas will bring creativity to your photo shoots.

    When I made my first photography prop from a pallet I found on the side of the road and cost me little to nothing to finish up, I knew there had to be more ideas out there.

    I searched for easy ideas that could be made in one day and came up with these other 10 easy DIY photography props. Taking pictures to look like a professional is not as easy as it may look. There is so much that goes behind it.

    But you can make your photography pop with some of these great DIY ideas. The one thing you have to have and it is really inexpensive, but you can’t do without it.

    Great Photography Lighting Tips

    What’s the secret………Lighting. You have to have great lighting. Now you can spend some money and get a great light kit like this, or you can find the best windows in your house and get some white foam board to bounce light off of and it will work just fine. The lighting kit comes in handy when you need more daylight hours than you have.
