Food photography, as of late, has become one of my favorite things to do! I love creating some delicious food and then figuring out new ways to photograph it and make it look oh-so-tasty! Buying new props is always so fun, but my latest adventure is in making some pretty wooden backdrops, here's how I did it in two easy steps!
You'll Need: Wood, sponge brush, some paint and sandpaper (I used the fine stuff)
Step One: Paint your board! I used a mix of blue and white to get some contrast. Let it dry completely. Once that side is dry, you can paint the other side! I chose to do a light coat of white.
Step Two: Once its dry, give it a good sandpaper treatment all over and in more areas than others to create a bit of a vintage, worn out look!
Then take super pretty photos of food and marvel at your new backdrop!
lovely!

This is such a great idea! I'm usually at a loss for creative props and tend to hunt through charity shops to find things rustic and unusual, and I never thought of DIY. I' going to give it a go!

Perfect timing! We just took our fence down and I'm waiting for my husband to build me several table tops for my website. Now I know how to paint them! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! I've got so many bright colours around my house and it's always such a mess that can never find a background which can make the item/food pop! I'll be creating these very soon though! Thank you!
