25 Wooden Food Photography Props You Can Get Online – Sincerely Tori
Wood is a beautiful addition to food photography and can go well with many styles of food photos. You can really tell the story of a rustic family recipe or of fresh ingredients with some wooden food photography props. On the other hand, wooden items can be very classy and make your photos look upscale and professinal. Another style wood is perfect for is dark and vintage style photos. There are so many forms of wooden dishes and kitchen items you can use to create artistic food photography. I’ve created this list of ideas to inspire you in the planning process for your next epic food photoshoot. 1. Wooden Serving Trays Serving trays make the top of the list because they are lovely way to present foods in photos. They make a great hero item for an overhead photo of a table set for a feast. You can cover them in sliced fruits, nuts and meats for an appetizer photo or use them to hold tea sandwiches. There are endless possibilities for how you can use a wooden serving tray in a photo.

Wooden Salad Bowls Nothing highlights fresh ingredients in a salad quite like wood. It sets a very natural and organic tone for your photos and makes everything in the photo look healthy and inviting.
