Cheap Photography Props and Equipment You Can Buy Locally or Online

As a photographer you know that your props and equipment go through a lot of use and abuse. Knowing that your props and equipment may not last long can be discouraging, especially if they cost a fortune. Don't despair, below is a list of websites and stores where you can buy cheap photography props and equipment today for just a few dollars.

Angel Wings $5.00 - $6.00
As a photographer you may be sick of photographing babies and children in angel wings, but to new Moms the wings are adorable. The angel wings are one of my biggest requests. I have two sets of angel wings in my studio an 8" size and a 12" size. They were just $5.00 and $6.00 from Belger Photo. I recommend buying two of each size. Keep one set in storage while the other set is in use as a backup in case they are ruined.

Clamps $1.00
There is nothing more annoying then a photo ruined by a wrinkle in the backdrop. To avoid wrinkles I use clamps found at the Dollar Tree. They usually have three sizes in stock a set of four small clamps, two medium clamps, or one large clamp. I use the medium clamps often. The small clamps come in handy for clamping draped fabric in place around moms and babies.

Colorful Onesies $1.00
Onesies make a nice simple outfit for babies, especially if your trying to capture action shots. The Dollar Tree almost always has plain colored onesies in many colors available. I have found sizes 6-9 months, 9-12 months, and 12-18 months at my local Dollar Tree. Best of all if a baby spits up on the onesie or has other unpleasant accidents I can just toss the onesie or let mom take it home with her without a huge loss. You can also run a promotion using the onesies as a giveaway. If marketed correctly you can turn a cheap photography prop into cash fast.
