This is why I consider you and your channel such an invaluable resource!!! I can be pretty obsessive when it comes to trying to think through every single aspect of this business (that I hope to start by the beginning of next year) and what it’ll take to get started. DIY product photography is something I had definitely thought about, but the idea of having these backgrounds, the lighting options and camera options was not even really on my radar! Thank you so much for being such an incredible resource and inspiration, Erica! And as an FYI, I’m loving the “Live Sessions” that you and hubby are doing! Yet another reason that your company is such a valuable resource - especially for aspiring candle business owners such as myself!!! ❤

Very nice photography setup. I use different temporary wall and kitchen surface stickers from DT, white boards, wooden cutting board, and I use some photo editing apps to add a nice background and edit my pictures. So time consuming, but I'm on a budget.

I didn't think to go to DT for those 😮...and I used to work there SMH

Thank you Erica

I have a Replica and it is the best investment we made for our business! I know I have over 20, I kept wanting different surfaces! We have great lighting on both sides of our house, morning in the back and afternoon in the front.

[@iam5cents]

I use Replica too!! Definitely a wonderful investment. The owner is awesome and they have great customer service. All around win! I think I have about 20-25 of them. I can't get enough! 😂❤

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

It’s addicting!!

How did you add the label to candle mockup?

[@southernrebelatheart]

Something you can try if you like the plain background is use some colored lights if you don't want it to be plain white all the time. You can do some really cool lighting effects on that board that would add some interest to your photos. If you know your way around Photoshop some or whatever photo editing software you use, there are also lighting effects you can add to the photo digitally.

[@jadajames4814]

I know DT has some colored lights..mine are the dragonfly lights..and they are battery powered..they are so pretty..they have all kinds..pineapple shaped ones, the dragonfly ones and so many more..I got so many ideas for stuff like this now because of awesome ideas I read here in the comments..

How much did you invest for product photography? I attempted to look at replica surfaces, but after several tries could not add anything to a cart. They don’t show prices, so how does this thing work?

[@FoodieForce]

They retail for £70 a square. Maybe it's the country you are in?

Oh gosh all together for everything? I truly don’t know, probably a couple thousand over the years of purchasing the boards, camera, lens’, lights, etc! And hmmm I’m not sure, maybe they are having a tech issue? are you on your phone or computer?

[@amul8769]

@memoryboxcandleco what wick are you using for your small metal tin candles. I think I saw you using 2 wicks in one video- are you still using 2 wicks and which ones are you using?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I use two CDN 2’s with my custom wax blend in those tins!
