This might be a good question to ask on the Product Photography thread Kim, to see what other people think too?
My advice with props would be to keep it simple. They should be there to make your work shine, give perspective and show a buyer how to use your product, but never to distract or swamp it. To be honest, I’m not sure that your bag needs the scarf because a buyer might not know at a glance which one you’re selling.
I personally think that with your bags, you might get away without any props, because it’s pretty clear what they are and you really just want to show them off as much as possible. What I would try to do is make the background as seamless as possible, so there is no harsh split or colour difference where the table meets the wall on your pics, and really get the image quality as good as possible (some of your shots are a bit grainy and a tiny bit washed out).
Melanie @Beledien does great white background shots like this one, where the surface and background are seamless and the background is a nice pure white.
Just to clear up any confusion, white backgrounds can be great and you definitely need white cut-out shots if you want to be featured in the press, but often when sellers photograph their work against a white wall or table it comes out grey and dull. That’s why a more interesting backdrop can work better.
If you want to use props, Jenny Sibthorp has some great examples of styled photos. But (this is the same for everyone) really think about which props you use. The aim is to make them lust-worthy and aspirational - you don’t want to go with a prop that devalues your brand.
I hope that all helps - and that I haven’t made it even more confusing!!
