Hey everyone, I'm interested to hear from the pros exactly how you all acquire props/wardrobe for photoshoots?
I have been viewing many photographers shots, and seen them with various props and different costumes that I wonder how on earth they have such a variety of things (in my head I'm picturing a huge garage filled to the brim of random stuff lol). I can't imagine people have large enough studios to keep all of this stuff in?! I mean, I see a variety of fancy couches/chairs, country and western backdrops, fans (the chinese ones), umbrellas, cars, toys etc etc.
Are these props often hired for specific shoots? How on earth does one photographer have so many different props/furniture across their photos?
I am also wondering a few things in regards to wardrobe. I'd imagine costumes are probably supplied by the photographer or hired? What about, say for boudoir shoots? I'd imagine people would be asked to bring in their own lingerie for these correct? I couldn't imagine it would be hygienic for a photographer to have a whole bunch of underwear for models to choose from when they get to the shoot?
I'm just intrigued. I see the one photographer just has photos with so many different couches/props/chairs/beds/background sets and I've always wondered if they actually do own all these things, where on earth would they store them?
Sorry for the weird questions lol.
