How to Choose the Best Backdrop Size for Portrait Photography

[@vorpaledgephotography]

I use the 8x13s a lot for dog portraits at the local Humane Society and the 8x8 to make use of some of the great painted backgrounds.

I just started using the 5x12 but love the flexibility to use the 5x7

I use the 8x8 most of the time, although I still like having the sweep to prevent gaps between the backdrop and the floor. I rarely use the sweep, as it wrinkles, and I don't like that it sinks in when you stand on it. I've used the 9x20 in landscape position (9' H x 20' W) for large dance groups.

A 12x 15 would be nice. I’ve used the 9x20, 8x13 and the 5x7; my go to is the 8x13 but isn’t quite large enough. A 12x15 would be perfect for what I photo. I even had 2 9x20 sewn together to give me a very large background for my sport shoots.

what is the reference of the transparent big umbrella ? It seems bigger than the 45' i see on your site

i have xdrop and xdrop pro and i am disapointed of pro one because 8' width is better but 8' height is often too high for most of room i shoot in. 7' height was perfect for all portraits never exceeding 1.8m. A pity Westcott didn't find a easy way, without wrinckles, to reduce 8x8 to 7x8

My go to size is the 8 x13

I see a lot of comments for the 8x13

I wish this was available when I bought my backdrop. I bought a 10x10 its too big
