This dreary and dark weather is really messing with my food photos.
Once I learned that natural light was the best way to photograph food, I quit using flash for good! I even quit baking at night and started baking in the morning so by the time I got finished, I could use the natural light from my kitchen window to photograph the finished product.
But that’s changed lately. It’s been cloudy for a couple of weeks now and I can’t seem to get a good picture.
Which is where a light box comes in handy!
No need to buy one. I’ll show you how to make one!!
Homemade Light Box
You’ll need:
1 big box
some tissue paper or other semi-transparent paper
scissors
 |
| Cut out the centers of the sides of the box. Leave one side, though! |
 |
| It will look like this. |
 |
| Fill the sides of your cut out box with paper. |
 |
| You’ll need more lights than this, but this is the gist. Simple!!!!! |
After all of that hard work, you’ll probably need some blondies. 
I took this from Katie. They have beans in them, but I trusted Katie’s judgement and made them anyway. I’m impressed!! I wasn’t expecting them to be that good. I took mine out a little early so they were gooey and delicious! If you’re looking for a low-cal treat, these are the ones you should make. My only complaint is that the flax seeds made them a little grainy, so next time I might sub in flour instead.
