Today we will discuss a few techniques and props that will help elevate your  photography by not even buying camera. Photographer Vanessa Joy and AdoramaTV are bringing 7 small cool toys that will bring new flavors into your photography.

Vanessa explains: “I’ve got literally a bag of tricks  here for us it’s all inexpensive and  things you might even have around your  house. I do like using a mirrorless camera for  this because it gives me a better idea  of what it looks like as I’m shooting.  Let’s just get a basic exposure. I might  switch to my 15 millimeter lens.”

“we’re just going to put this in front  you can see it creates a really nice  reflection depending where you hold it  or you can use some of the colors so  that is number one and depending on  where you put it in your lens you can do  some pretty interesting reflections.”

“These are not just regular beads are  kind of crystallized so they’re not  totally opaque which is gonna add some  really fun color”

“You  can take your flashlight and shine it  right in and create really fun haze. I’m  gonna change my lens again back to my  one point two because that will create a  little bit more of a haze.”

“When you use  this technique ideally you have a streak  of sunlight to work with something  that’s actually that bright we don’t  have that so what I’ve got is a pro flash light.”
