While I have suitcases full of prop clothing, one piece that all models seem to have fun with is a simple white shirt. It is quite a versatile item depending on how it is worn.

The image above was shot when we doing the headshot series and involved a Octobox positioned above the camera and two strip-boxes positioned behind Melissa to light the background.

In hhe rest of the images the two strip boxes were brought forward and angled so that they lit Melissa. Both were metered at the same output so the light would be even.

As I have found on many occasions simply letting the model play with the shirt produces the best results.

It is rarely buttoned up which means they can also determine how much skin they wish to show.

Props are also very useful in terms of providing something for the model to interact with. In this case it was pair of my old glasses.
