Are you a props hoarder?

As food photographers we just love props, don’t we? We see potential props everywhere, from discarded wooden boards on the street to our friend’s tableware. 

There are never enough props in our cupboards and as we continue on our journey, all we do is buy more and more and more. 

So while we love our props, it is important to be mindful of what we buy. Not just to save money, but what if I told you that choosing the right props can help find your style and also improve your photography. 

In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing the key considerations for choosing props for food photography. What kind of props catch the light, which ones make good compositions, what creates harmony, and what hones your skills  – I share it all.

Believe it or not, this is one of my most frequently asked  questions.

I wish I had thought about this at the start of my journey and not ended with cupboards full of props that don’t work. Save money, save space and improve your photography -  all by choosing the right props. 

Buy what actually works. Happy prop shopping… or not!

I always love hearing from you so, if you enjoyed this episode or have any questions please do let me know.
