From the moment I decided to write a blog, I am learning, learning and learning some more. A world has opened up for me. And I know that I only peeled the first layer of the onion.
One of the novelties is 'the newsletter'. Another is 'the Instagram photo'. For both I wanted to take pictures of real life. Maybe you can do it very well, but I'm really not the type to stand with my most beautiful blouse in an enthusiastic attitude to show my durable reusable cotton wipes with a cheerful face. So I do not need a tripod, a selfie stick or a portrait photographer.

What I do need to have is a neutral background to make everyday items look presentable. And I don’t have a neutral background: the floors are busy wood patterns, the walls should have been painted again years ago. The rescue? A white sheet of paper, size A3. On the ground, placed up against the cupboard in a curve. And there you have it, an improvised, minimalist photo studio for small objects.
It worked better than I would have hoped. I’m not a photographer and I won’t pretend that I take beautiful pictures. But I only need simple product photos of my own stuff. And then this works fine for me.

Do you have more tips, hacks and tricks that take photography to a higher level simply? Of course without major investments. I’d love to hear your solutions.
