Make Your Images POP With Photo Props for Creative Bloggers
When I started to invest time into creating custom blog graphics, I realized that having styled photography is a great plus for any blog. I sometimes see blogs with photos of workspaces or food styled in a creative and visually-appealing way. Epic photos make me want to read more, am I right?
At the beginning, I didn’t really know what to include in my photos. Then I started exploring the aisles in Hobby Lobby and Michael’s as well as photos on many different blogs. I made a photo prop drawer and started to collect different items. Here’s a list of some of my favorite photo props to really make your blog images pop!
