5 Backdrops For Moody Food Photography

Happy Monday! Or… Happy whatever day of the week it is when you are reading this post. Today I thought I would share 5 backdrops that are perfect for creating moody food photography images.

I love all sorts of photography, but one area that really catches my attention on Instagram are those beautiful moody food photography images. These images give such impact, as well as feature the food so beautifully. One thing that helps to create these images is finding the right backdrops. This usually ends up being darker and grungy backdrops. Here are 5 from our collection that can help you achieve this style.

Dark Concrete 008

Left over lemon skin? Plenty of excellent things you can do with it. What about home-made lemon infused olive oil? Sounds like a plan to me! Love the backdrop by @minibackdrops #lemonoil #nowaste #instafood #fromscratch #homemade #foodphotography #foodie #foodstyling

Rusty Metal 011-S

I’ve only recently discovered how simple it is to make Labneh, it’s suspended here in cheesecloth hanging in the middle of two jars to separate the curds and whey. . . . This is my entry for today’s #12gridproject theme which is ‘middle’ @thelittleplantation . . . It’s also an excuse to use this wonderful backdrop from @minibackdrops again.
