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.

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.

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.
