Resources

I’ve recently come to love food photography almost as much as I love baking so I’ve included some of the resources that I use on a regular basis.

I do get some affiliate commission on some of these products which means if you click the link I get a small percentage of that purchase, at no extra charge to you.

I started off with a Canon Rebel T6 with the stock lens and a 50mm 1.8 lens. I learned food photography with those for the first two years but I just recently upgraded my camera bag.

Gear

Backdrop Surfaces

Best Ever Backdrops – these boards are so light weight and they have SO MANY design options. They’re double sided, come in multiple sizes and they look realistic even through a macro lens. Use the code BARANBAKERY for 15% off.

Stile & Co – these boards are super light weight as well, but they’re also flexible so they can be stored rolled up. They also have a magnetic board option to stick to stick the vinyl surfaces too so that they’re rigid and can stand up. Use the code BARAN15 for 15% off. 

Woodville – these boards are very durable and beautifully designed with a lot of texture. They also come in multiple sizes and are double sided but they’re heavy to move around (I dropped on one my toe once lol…).

Email Marketing

I used to use Mailchimp for email marketing and although it’s free up to a point, it sort of felt like rocket science to use… I made the switch to flodesk and never looked back. They have incredibly beautiful templates, they’re super easy to use and you can even get 50% your subscription using my link.
