Ever been looking over through Pinterest or Instagram and see some amazing food photography?
Replica Surfaces but they sell their 2‘ x 2‘ textured squares for $80 apiece!
I was able to get four differen 4 feet textures for around $100!
You might be thinking that there’s no way that you can have your pictures look like that with your limited budget and only using your phone.
Well I’m here to tell you some of my favorite secrets to cheap DIY Photography using only natural light for my living room and some backdrops I got from the local hardware store.
.
The first thing you’re gonna do is go to your local hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot.
you’re then going to go to the paneling and molding section to find wainscot or back paneling use for kitchen walls. I usually get the 4 foot by 3 foot size.
then you’re gonna go to the flooring aisle and find the sticky vinyl planks that come in a box.
I love how easy the sticky ones are to place on the Wanescoating back as an additional texture.
Yes you read that right they were only 6 to 9 dollars depending on how many were in stock or what store you were looking at!
