The Power of Props in Food Photography

If photography is the art of telling a story without a single word, then it wouldn’t be wrong to say that props are the backbone of food photography. Props, such as plates, forks, spoons, napkins are essential for creating the narrative we desire.

What Do We Need?

For prop styling in food photography, beginners should have basic materials on hand, including various-sized neutral-colored flat and textured plates and bowls, small condiment dishes in white, cream, and black, glass bottles and jars, artificial flowers, small vases, handmade ceramics, vintage forks and spoons, metallic spray paints, napkins, and dyed gauze cloths. These are essential items for those starting out in this field.

When it comes to using these materials…

As we always say, coherence and harmony are the most important aspects in food photography, and creating that sense is not always easy. As a tip, starting with simplicity and avoiding complex compositions can be a good approach, especially for beginners.

Ensuring the harmony of props is also important. Just as you should steer clear of white porcelain plates and shiny stainless steel cutlery when aiming for a vintage style, using rusty accessories wouldn’t be right for a modern look.
