  • I'm back with another video of me making backgrounds. I love the cheap and easy DIY backgrounds. You can up your production value so much with a bit of board and some paint.
    There is a tred towards dark, moody food photography on instagram and I'm loving it.

    In the 1980’s and 1990’s we used a similar technique for decorating interior walls. When we applied the second and third color, we diluted the paint with a clear glaze so there wasn’t such a hard contrast between the colors and to let the base color bleed through. We used a sea sponge too and kept changing our grip on it so we didn’t get a repeat of the imprint of the sponge itself. A crumpled plastic bag works too if you don’t have a sponge.

    Just what I was looking for! Didn't have one of those sponges on hand, so I used a small mesh bath sponge instead..and it worked out pretty well!

    how would you do a more light Back"drop", more silver beige colour or how you do a more blue green colour or more earth tone. I have a white and grey big paper for a small Photobox in an Ikea kallax furniture. LED stripes on the top and back and the backround i need light, dark more blue/green and a lot og earth tone. I have old cotton and earth pigments and paints on hand... but if you do a nice video about it let me know :D p.s. and maybee you had n idea to softlight the USB LED stripes. Now i have Breadpaper (the paper you take your bread to shool)...

    • @AtlantaTerry
      @AtlantaTerry 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ikea also stocks adjustable stands. BUT they do not fold up so taking them to a location can be a big problem if you don't have a van or truck. The nice thing about these is you can raise or lower the top to be at an angle, if you would like.
      www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80150095/
      For super cheap stands, check out Harbor Freight stores if any are in your area. They do not adjust in any way but do fold flat.

      Soumyadipto I don’t think I used any cardboard in this one. If you mean the big MDF sheet I have no idea of the size. You definitely don’t want to use cardboard in place of that as it will warp and sag really badly.
