FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY PROPS

When you are just starting your food prop collection, it can start to get expensive. It’s great to buy everything all shiny and new, but it does add up. I’m here today to share a little secret – you don’t have to spend a fortune on buying food props. In fact, it costs almost next to nothing!

My tip is to shop locally. I’m talking about yard sales and friends! Visit ones in your community and snag some awesome deals and find that no one else has.

I’ve been visiting yard sales for years but didn’t start back into it full force for my food photography prop collection until this year. ‘Tis the season for yard sales so get up early on Saturday mornings and take full advantage of it while it lasts.

In our area, they typically run from the long May weekend to Labour Day weekend in September. That’s a few months of shopping! I bet you will find some hidden treasures like I have.

Peek at some of the props I’ve discovered in my travels.
