Light Box
Since I’m sticking around I wanted to share my little photo shoot setup. I think it’s clever and easy to setup and take down and that’s what I need in my life, easy. So everyone has a Rubbermaid bin somewhere around their homes right? Or am I the only one that has about 20 in my house? I like to be organized. Anywho… For my photo shoots I use a clear bin and two shop clip lights, I think that’s what they are called. You can get the bin just about anywhere, Wal-Mart, Target, Family Dollar, anywhere. I bought the shop lights from Lowes, I can’t remember the exact price but I know I didn’t spend more than $5 on each, I bought two but I need a third, you will see why in the picture. I use 100 watt light bulbs, not the energy efficient bulbs. The props, if you want to call them that I buy from Wal-Mart, Target or Family Dollar. When Wal-Mart and Target have their holiday/seasons setups I buy the plastic plates, bowls, cups, one of each and they are no more than $2-3 each. I love when Spring comes around, love Targets stuff! Target is my favorite store. I will buy place mates, dish towels and napkins from the dollar store. This keeps me from having to buy a whole set at Wal-Mart or Target. The dollar store you can just buy one and that’s all I need. There is one thing that I do recommend, use something white on the bottom, I found out today colors do not work well. I might get a white poster board for the bin and see how that works. For right now I think my setup is pretty good. So here’s the picture of my set up. I hope this helps food bloggers out there. I prefer to shoot outside but when I can’t this is trick up my sleeve.
What do you use as a photo shoot? Leave a comment to let me what you use in your photo shoots.
