I’m kidding. This post doesn’t have much to do with food photography as such. I have to revive that series, I know I know.
But meanwhile, I am going to answer the question many of you have asked me through comments and emails.
“What’s that white background that you use in most of your pictures?”
And today, I present to you.. TADAAA..
OOPS! Oh wait! That’s my extremely cluttered, not-white-at-all coffee table.
Here’s my white table I use for food pics.
He may look a bit confused but that’s because he is not used to being photographed without food on him, you see.
Its very convenient to have a hard, white base that easily cleanable and portable. The table weighs less than 
See what I mean? A white base reflects light well and enhances the picture when you later edit using Picasa or any other software. I love using a plain white base most times partly because I am too lazy to do an elaborate set up but mostly because I love the simplicity. Try it!
The table is from Ikea. Its a Lack Table that I bought for 20 SGD. I tried searching the Ikea website for the link but looks like they have stopped this product, maybe temporarily.
Moral of the story: grab the white table the moment you see it because by the time you consider it and decide, it may be too late.
Happy clicking on white!
