Making an insta photo prop is a fun way to put some space in your photos. You can use any object that you see in your daily life, such as books, sandwiches, or anything else you would consider a part of your day to make as a photo prop.
The best way to make the insta photo prop is by combining two or more types of objects. For example, creating a book as the backdrop and putting a sandwich on top of that. Or, using a phone case and placing an iPhone or Android on top of that.

Paint it
If you are going for a soft, natural look for your prop, then do not worry about looking into or painting your hair, skin, and toe nails. If you are going for a more whimsical look, then go for it!
Many people choose to paint their nails and hair based on which food they eat. Nail polish is often linked to diet foods such as carrot colored polish or green nail polish. Buying either one of these looks is fun and easy way to make your photo prop!
The other way to make art with nails is to paint them black with top coat and then shape with a coffeemucker. You can also paint them shapely and then let the shape stay after the paint dries.
Add some greenery
Add some greenery is a fun way to extend your photo props. You can choose any kind, but pine trees are a well-known one.
Making your photo prop out of trees is an easy way to extended your photos. You can add some leaves, flowers, and other décor to add more flair!
The same goes for foliage! You can add some leafs, flowers, and other décor on them to extend the photo props.
Put some props inside
When you photograph people, you usually have a product or service that they want to buy. So why not put those in the picture?
You can do this by putting some sort of item inside the picture or beneath someone’s arm. This adds some depth to the picture and makes them look more knowledgeable or special.
It is also fun to include these things in your photos because they look nice and add some depth to your pictures.
Bullet point re-write: By adding things inside or underneath people’s products or products, you can create more context for your photos. This creates more interesting photos that show what you are about rather than just a photo of something!
These pictures can be posted on social media, magazine, etc.
Decide on a theme
Before you start creating your photo prop, you must decide on a theme for your photo prop. Some themes are better suited than others, so we will discuss them here.
Themes are more appropriate for fashion trends than full Onions, residences. In fact, this is what makes the concept of the photo prop so versatile!
The fashion trends that are trending right now are #selfiegoout and group selfies, so this is a very good place to start. Group selfies usually look cute and fun together, so go with that.
Pick a filter for your photo prop
There are three common filter types used on Instagram photos. These types include: fun, natural, and dramatic. Each one has a different effect on your photo prop.
The fun filter creates a cartoonish look. This is the default filter for #instafotopphotropes #instadailyphotooftheday
The dramatic filter changes the color of the photo to emphasize what is being photographed. This makes photos look heavier or more serious than they actually are.
The natural filter gives the photo a soft, family-friendly look. This is the default filter for most people starting out on Instagram. This is the best looking out of the three!
These three filters can be switched on or off! Once they are, you will have a totally different looking photo that goes with your subject matter.
Prepare your lighting
Before you start trying to photograph your subject in any lighting conditions, it is important to create the right light for your photo prop.
Lighting is very important when shooting photos of people. You want to let their face and body be seen by the surrounding environment but not overly brightened or overshadowed.
People can tell how much light is coming from another source such as a lamp or daylight bulb, so try to use one that is placed correctly in the picture. People also like looking into a lightbulb or a lamp when trying to determine if there is enough natural sunlight in the picture for them to fully appreciate the glow.
Try some different settings and see what works for you and your subject.
Take great photos with your prop
You can make any photo prop you want! There are almost no rules when it comes to making your own photo prop. You can go for fun or challenge yourself with these photos.
Many people use tripods and large cameras to create interesting photos with their props. A ball is great for a neckerchief and a camera is perfect for a monopod.
Make sure you have enough room in your camera bag or Studio Bag for all of your gear. It will help prevent stress, photographer’s burnout, and take more shots.
These photos often look funny or creative but if done right, they can be truly artistic.
Edit your photos with filters
While most photos look great with a simple filter, there are some that benefit more from a bit of special treatment.
Some popular photo filters include: motion effects, shadows, blown-up highlights, and faded-out settings. Each one adds a little something to the photo making it more unique or interesting.
To apply a filter, you must first download and install it on your phone or computer. Then, you can go to your photos or documents and drop the file into the appropriate location.
Try some of the following filters before you give up: adding grainy texture to your photos, changing the light source used in your photo shoot, adding some nice lighting effects, or reversing the settings used in your photo shoot.
