Need help with choosing backdrop

[Rhiannon]

Hi everyone!

I'm completely new here, so please forgive me if I unknowingly breach any forum rules.

I just started learning portrait photography and would like to get a backdrop and stand system. I need something that can be easily set up and stored away: I don't have space in my apartment to have it out permanently. It seems that with a muslin backdrop I'd need to iron it every time I take it out? I'll need something for full body shots. Would 10'X20' be a good size? And how about a white one and a black one to start? Can anyone recommend something that is budget friendly?

I did a search but couldn't seem to find any information in the old threads. Any help would be much appreciated!

Many professional photographers purchase muslin backgrounds for their portraits. A good backdrop can be the difference between a good and a great portrait. As per my personal opinion use white backdrops. If you wants something more budget friendly then must read "How To Create Your Own Portrait Backdrop"
