Sami Serola (inactive)'s photos with the keyword: prop

...can be useful when there's nothing else to shoot. For The Sunday Challenge this week's challenge was to shoot a "photography prop box". However, I don't have such stuff for several reasons: 1) Everyone and everything are stars in my pictures =D 2) I don't often arrange anything but shoot things as they are. 3) I try to find a new subject or at least the point of view for every day, and therefore everything that would look as a prop in my shots would no longer fit into any box =P But then I remembered an old DFAS series of mine, photographed in 2010. During that year I participated into a "365 group" where the task was to take and post one picture per every day during one year. In that group then someone introduced the concept of "Desperate For A Shot" (DFAS). Pretty soon the acronym DFAS became a smallish meme among the people who had been members of that 365 group at that time. As far as I can remember, the very first DFAS shot was an image of some mask, and was titled as "desperate for a shot monster". And from there I got the idea to illustrate my "DFAS monsters" and make a series out of them. So, in 2010 I was still very inexperienced photographer, often running out of ideas. Therefore I actually did quite many arrangements and settings at that time. And then it also of course means the "secondary items" on my shots are more or less "props". On this picture you can find some notes to show how I used the contents of this tool box, as a main subjects on my DFAS series, but also as a prop to arrange the stage.
