Creative Portraits That Use Handmade Paper Props

Adriana Napolitano is a 31-year-old Italian artist and photographer who creates beautiful paper props by hand for portrait and advertising photo shoots. Her creations include everything from food to costumes to phones to water gushing out of a crying woman’s face.

Among Napolitano’s tools are a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 600D, paper, spray paint, tape, and glue. The props take anywhere between a few days to a couple of weeks to make, depending on the scale and complexity.

You can find more of Napolitano’s work on her website and Behance.
