The three Jazz props I have used are a cornet, a trumpet and a fedora. I have chsoen these as my desired props for multiple reasons, the cornet and the trumpet were chosen due to them being a hugely popular instrument in the Jazz industry. The cornet and saxophone are also used as symbolism of the industry because of their popularity. I have chosen the fedora due to it being part of the stereotype of a male or a female jazz player. Alot of jazz players did wear headwear like a flat cap or a fedora, so if I were to use a fedora it really bring that across. Fedoras are also linked to the prohibition perriod during the 1920s and early 1930s. With this being around the same time as the birth and spring in popularity of jazz, it seems appropriate to use fedoras to show their value.
I then decided on a chair to be my general prop. This was because using a chair I could get some interesting shots of my model. One in which being of her looking at the camera, facing the camera, while she is sitting on the chair backwards. Little subtle things like this can improve photos by a considerable amount so I decided to use a chair to take these shots and get the best I possibly could.
