DIY Photo Back Drop Tip

 

 

Are you looking for a better way to photograph that scrumptious dessert you just made? This simple tip will make a huge difference. It’s easy, simple, and doesn’t cost a lot.

First you can get very creative with this idea! So I am explaining Mine! I choose to create a darker stain with white paint.

You Need… 

Piece of wood 4×4 Is ok to use.(We got mine at Lowes) A small can of wood stain, small sample of white paint, paint brush.

First you stain the wood and let it dry for a while or over night.

Next you get the white paint and just brush it over the wood to give it a worn country look. (Let that dry)- I used a bottle cleaner! We don’t use bottles and I couldn’t find a paint brush.

SO I compromised!

Thats really about it. Then you can lay it up against the wall or create a creative backdrop to use behind it.

FINISHED PRODUCT 

Keep in mind when it comes to taking pictures especially of food. It is about the lighting. So make sure you have a nice natural lighting spot to take your pictures at. Also some nice plate wear or photo props are always a plus. An example of what my “picture taking area” looks like is below!

AND 

I am lucky have a kitchen with a ton of natural lighting. Sometimes to much. This wasn’t even a sunny day! Here are some examples of what it looks like when you take my tips and starting taking pictures. Oh yea! I do not have a DSLR! I only have a Nikon digital camera. It cost me about $300.

You can do different stains, paint colors, maybe even wall paper. You can get super creative with this idea! Just make sure you have great lighting and good food!
