huge backdrop?

[jamiehewitt]

(perhaps wrong forum location)

I am looking to open my own studio and hopefully get a prince's trust loan to help me do so amd i am trying to find the best possible backdrop.

i came across this item

which is 20"x20"x15" i think
obviously for product photography

but i was wondering how i would go about obtaining this 15ft wide?

is there anywhere i could get this made?

any help appreciated.

What kind of photography will you be specialising in?

[jamiehewitt]

Mostly Portrait, fashion and promo shoots.

I would think you would be better getting a range or coloured rolls - colourama type things.

Not sure how you can change the colour of the backdrop on that contraption, but for portrait and fashion stuff - then coloured rolls will give you more room for creativity.

The small one looks ok for product toggin.

How do you get it into the building???:crazy:

LMAO @ Bandit.

It looks like a modular construction Rich. Could be quite portable if you needed it to be.

:laugh1:

I guess fitting the thing through a standard door would be kinda tricky:acute:

I'v visited a studio with a backdrop made of curved ply wood painted white. It was very nice.

However I see a need for background rolls as White is not the only colour your going to use. For this reason I would consider a conventional background roll system to go with it. with a selection of colourama paper rolls too.

Hi, I got a lasolite white vinyl backdrop, and use it for most things from poeple to products, was about £180 but well worth it, It's great and portable, it's 3m wide and 6m long, you can also wipe it down with a wet cloth after kids with grubby feet have been running all over it.

Here it is and some sample pics I took using it.

nice mate, but got same width with extra 2 meters for 40 quid :Dm :Dm

there is a load of posts here about lorry vinyls that do exact same job but quarter of the price .
