One of the secrets of making perfect food photos is using fun and relevant props that will complement the food and tell the story about your recipes. After a while every food photographer is bound to build up a collection of props and here are some inexpensive props that you should definitely have in your kitchen.
Wooden Cutting Board
Wooden cutting boards have become extremely popular because they are perfect for arranging food and they can also serve as a wonderful backdrop for food photos.
Ceramic Plates And Bowls
Having a variety of plates and bowls in all shapes, sizes, and colors is a must-have for every food photographer because using the same kitchenware can make your photos look stale after a while.
Utensils
It sounds weird but buying fun or vintage kitchen utensils, such as spoons or forks, and using those as props in your photos can really make a difference. The best place where you can find unique kitchen utensils, and many other food props, is the flea market.
Mason Jars
Never throw away mason jars because this is a versatile and inexpensive kitchen item that you can use for photographing smoothies, juices, pickled food and so much more.
