Default Model session - Let's travel

Props can add a whole new element and angle to photo shoots. They help create an editorial story and can often be a focal point used to connect several images. Here's how I used this old suit case for a model session a few weeks ago. You can see the full editorial story on my blog.

Great set. And as beautiful as that young lady is, I still have to say I like the second shot on the tracks the best.

My favourite is the first, with the model sitting in the trunk of the car. What an original shot! The others are good too, but that one really made me smile.

Nice shots. Really like the ones on that tracks just glad there wasn't a train coming or no railroad personal around to have you hauled off to jail for trespassing.

ahh, I really like that last shot and I like your placement of the suitcase in your shots to enhance the interpretive quality of the shots
