Posing With Props - PhotoCamel

rodeo_photographer · 07-31-2007

I'm trying to come up with best ways to pose someone with an instrument, for example a guitar. Does anyone have some pictures they could post of people with props as an example?
Thanks in advance!

We need more information. Is this a senior boy? If so is it a "rock and roll" type of guitar?

You mean, like this old one?

Well, I'll be doing some of my brother yes, but both girl and boy examples would be nice, for future reference. One will be of an electric guitar and one of an acoustic. My brother has both.

Some of the best portraits with instruments have been done for Album covers .
I would search the web for some . Check out Jazz and Blues this will give you some varied ideas on lighting and positioning from some of the best photographers old and new.
Of course thats in addition to the advice you will get here.

These portraits will be done outdoors. I'm definately a beginner and dont have a studio... so alot of natural light will be used... I'm planning on doing them sometime in the evening.
