DIY Photography Light Diffuser on the Cheap
When I attended the Food Photography Overhaul last month, I learned good lighting is the KEY to good photos. I consider myself a pretty darn good student: I listen carefully, I take notes diligently, and I try to implement my new knowledge as soon as nerdily possible. Yet, as mentioned in my last post, I experienced some extreme frustration while trying to photograph those delicious balsamic pork tenderloin medallions in low lighting. The need for light was obvious, but where the heck was it?! I tried switching locations–the stove top, the living room floor, the bathroom counter, the laundry room–photo after horrible photo. It was absolutely infuriating!
A couple of days later (once I had a chance to mellow out over a nice cheap bottle of red wine), the BF and I headed to Lowe’s to resolve this lighting issue once and for freaking all.
Here’s what we picked up:
