Everything you need to know before you order
My food photography backgrounds and surface boards are individually hand made to order, unless it is shown to be in stock on the listing. Please bear this in mind when ordering as there is a lead time usually 2 – 4 weeks to make the boards. Please also bear in mind that not every board is going to be exactly the same as the one pictured in the listing, but it will be very similar. I make every effort to reproduce the finish as described by using the same materials, processes and techniques.
FINISH
With the exception of backgrounds which use waxes, all of my backgrounds and surfaces are finished with a matt non reflective hard wearing sealer, which is chemical, heat and water resistant.
CARE AND CLEANING
For cleaning and care of my backgrounds, I recommend using a damp cloth to wipe down the boards, then wipe with a dry cloth. Stubborn food residues can be removed with soapy water and a cloth or sponge, by carefully wiping the surface. Do not use any type of chemicals or abrasives, as this may damage the protective finish. For our textured backgrounds, a soft brush is recommended to remove any food stuck in the background before wiping with a damp cloth.
Take care when moving and positioning items on the backgrounds as not to drag them across the surface as this can damage the sealer.
I recommend cleaning up any food spills as soon as possible. Food residue and spills that have a high pigment colour which are left too long on the background may stain the protective finish of the background.
It’s not recommend to place any extremely hot items or food directly onto the backgrounds as this can damage the protective sealer.
STORING YOUR BACKGROUND
Solid wooden boards — the Antique Pine, Cindy’s Table, and Worn White — are more sensitive to humidity and heat. Store these flat in a cool, dry environment to prevent warping.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
Every background is packed extremely well for transit. I use recyclable and reclaimed packaging wherever possible, so please don’t be alarmed if the outer box looks a little lived-in — it’s very deliberate, and what’s inside will be pristine.
If your country doesn’t appear at checkout, just get in touch and I’ll work out a shipping quote for you.
