Studio Backgounds and Props

I love unusual props and backgrounds, I think they can make your photograph stand out as something different or bring a certain mood to a portrait.  I shop at lttle boutique shops for unusual props such as vintage clothing, hats, gloves  and furniture.  I have always wanted to use this folding screen as a background and decided to give it a coat of paint.  I painted a freehand design on the back of the screen using a brown paint accented with metalic gold.  I plan to add a glazed effect to the front and give it an aged look that I think will look great in Boudoir Photography.  I also added a silver nickel finish to an old frame that I had laying around that I think will be fun to use.  Watch for more posts on some of the interesting props I have collected and how I use them.
