Hat - Simple and small props during photo shoots with indie-pop artists are popular as it links to elegance and sophistication as well as appearing intimate and personal. I chose a large hat as a staple prop because commonly, in indie-pop, accessories such as hats or jewelry to draw in attention as well as keeping focus to the artist's face. An example of using a simple prop such as a hat is done in Indie magazine's Lady Hawke issue. With bold eyes and simple make up, the staple accessory was her hat.
Flower Crown/Flowers - Sticking to a theme of elegance and beauty, indie-pop commonly uses flowers and flower-crowns in photo shoots with famous artists such as Lana Del Rey. A largely associated word with the sub-genre is 'twee', meaning cute (although at the beginning of indie-pop was used in a derogatory tone), flower-crowns and flowers add to the 'twee' but sweet and posed image.
