I love your props! And your presenting style is so clear and natural. I've been blogging for almost 8 years so I have quite a collection of bits and bobs. One thing I am always on the look out for is interesting cutlery. Never anything shiny. I collect antique forks as well as pick up very modern ones in interesting textures, like porcelain, slate/steel, bone, wood (thin and long look lovely). One place I love to go are ceramic and modern craft fairs either in the Uk where I live or on holiday. I love to mix and match textures shapes and styles, but mostly I play it safe and don't try and detract too much from the food itself. :-) PS I must get some fake ice cubes!

Finally! I have been searching and searching through YouTube for a clear, simple, relaxed, informative, practical, beautiful channel about food photography and finally I found it! Thank you! It took me seconds to click subscribe which is highly unusual for me! 😌

All must haves and you have some really nice shots to go along. The thin walled glasses was a really good tip I don't hear to often, but they give really sweet reflections! Great video

First video of yours I have seen. Great content, exquisite styling and photos.

#7: fabrics. Use them for napkins or surfaces.
I have a stack of placemats from Dollar Tree that come in handy. Most fabric stores have remnants that they sell cheap - use them as napkins.

These are such great tips! I didn't know about the thinner glasses- it really makes a huge difference. And the fake ice cubes are such a game changer!

[mimiezinne]

this was great! and extra tip is most if not all of these props can be found for $10 and UNDER at many MANY thrift stores like Goodwill, Wings or Salvation Army

[CharlieCoopertv]

This was excellent! Thank you so much!

By far the best video of this type I’ve seen.

[giovaniamandasari]

Hi Kelly! Thank you for sharing these. I think it's amazing. Do you think buying a background board is also as essential?

[Culinaryhill]

I loved this video! The thing about thin-walled glasses.... YES! I never do this. I will always do this from now on! Thanks for the tip!

[SkaterNo]

This video is exact what I was looking for. I have a request. Please make a video on how to do skincare products photography.

So many great tips Kelly! Going to pin this vid 😊
PS new enamelware can be dropped and the edges will chip really easily to help them look aged.
