I had the pleasure this week of interviewing Nicole Ryals of Ngage Digital Marketing.

One way you can further personalize your brand photo shoot is through the use of props. They can be helpful in communicating your message and reinforcing your branding. Today I’m going to share with you 5 ways you can use props in your brand photo shoot.

Whenever you sign a contract with a photographer, it likely will include a section that outlines the ways you are allowed to use the images once you have them. So for example, it’s very common for family portrait or wedding photography contracts to have a personal use license which means you can share them online with family or make prints for yourself but you cannot use the images to advertise a business and you cannot sell them to a publication.

For my Brand Photography clients, I offer a commercial use license. I wanted to briefly go over what is included in that license so you understand how useful these images can be to you in advertising for your business.
