In the two years that I’ve been blogging, I must have taken thousands if not hundreds of thousands of pictures, and although I’m no expert, I thought it might help some of you if I shared with you all some background ideas for blog pictures.
As I work full time, I take all my blog pictures on a Saturday or Sunday morning. And there is nothing worse then having a huge pile of products to photograph and no idea how to set them up for taking pictures. So here are some of my background ideas.
While I love the clean, white look of a picture, I do also like to add some texture. I do this by either using a scarf, a feather fan, or a throw from the bedroom or lounge.
Table Tops
To add depth of field to a photo and to create the blurry background, it helps to place your product on the edge of a table, then bending down at the same height and take your photo from there. The table helps to give space to work with, and helps to create the blurred background.
Now that I’ve gone through these ideas, I hope they were helpful and have given you some inspiration. I’m by no means an expert but some of these have helped me create more interesting and varied pictures for my blog over the years, and although I’m still not completely satisfied, I’m starting to create something that I hope, one day, might be Pinterest worthy.
