You all know that I am a food blogger and I love to write about food. Apart from writing about food or recipes, I also love to click pictures of the food that I cook. For a food blog to be successful, the pictures have to be of very good quality and should be appealing. They say that the food should look good and good looking food wins the race. We humans have a tendency to believe that whatever looks good is good. That is the reason why I love collecting different types of food photography props for my food blog. I want to share an incident with you regarding my recent search for food photography props.
I had a food styling and food photography assignment recently. The client wanted me to use white props for clicking the pictures. I was in my home-town at that time. It was then that I had some time and wanted to complete this assignment. Since I am a blogger I carry my personal laptop around with me when I go to my home-town. I went in search of white crockery throughout the city, infact I spent entire 4 hours searching for white crockery. Went around asking from one shop to other. After a massive hunt I had to give up and could not find a single one. In a big city, it is easy to get all these things in malls. But in remote places it is difficult.
So the next option which I had was to order online. Ordering online has multiple benefits. You don’t have to waste your time y standing in long queues at the malls and you don’t have to waste your time hunting things like how I did. Plus you don’t have to spend money on fuel and parking charges. Just sit at the luxury of your home, log in from your laptop or smartphone or tablet and start selecting and purchasing. I found some nice crockery at
Snapdeal too. Apart from selecting and getting discounts on purchase of this crockery from Snapdeal, I got free home delivery and incase I din’t like any item, I have an option to return them as per their exchange policy.
At times I order a lot of books for my kid from Flipkart. You can get good deals and coupons from Zoutons.com. I just love the the
Flipkart coupons for books. I used these coupons to purchase books online. Apart from ordering books for my kid, I also order cookbooks. Sometimes I get these at really throwaway prices.
You can find a lot of stuff online nowadays. E-commerce has made everything possible. Not just kitchen related, but also clothes, towels, curtains, electronic items, etc. Just go to Jabong and purchase whatever you want.
I would rather enjoy the benefits that I get from ordering online, rather than running around the city in search of stuff and wasting my precious time and energy running around. Plus when I step out of my house I also end up eating a lot of junk food outside as I get too hungry. So I prefer shopping from within the comforts of my home and also to cook and eat whatever I love to. If needed I can order food online using Foodpanda coupons too.
Apart from this I can spend time with my family and comfortably baby sit my kid too. Oops, I really hate that traffic. That is the main reason why I hate stepping out of my home just for shopping.
