where can i find old fashion props for my photography?6 replies

I am a photographer and love taking old fashion photos but don’t always know where to find the props at. Help!

• I am doing a fashion project and was wondering, to get a head start, what would i have to include?
• What are some interesting facts about fashion photography?
• Does anybody know a fashion website to find a job in fashion industry?
• Is there a fashion designer to send my designs to?
• What is a good alternative ranking system for a fashion show?

   if you live near a city try and go to old buildings or go to a antique shop where they can sell you some stuff at low prices

   find secondhand shops or “recycling centers” should find what you need there.

   Thrift stores? yard sales?

   Antique shops are always good!
   Sometimes Ebay.
   Or if you feel like going crazy you can steal from a museum.(please don’t)
   Old peoples yard sales often have cool stuff.
   Or you can find a replica site online, although that may get expensive.

   Antique stores are good but pricey. Second hand stores need a little more delving but they are cheaper. Garage sales can be a good source as well as estate sales. Good luck.
