Backdrop stand

lshaef · 27th of March 2012 (Tue)

I have taken photos for many of my friend's children but only outside. I am going to attempt a newborn photoshoot for a friend. What size backdrop stand should I purchase? I hope to take this passion professionally in the future so I do not want to buy something that I will need to replace later because it is not applicable for other shoots (i.e. parents standing with child).

thank you

This all depends on what you want the shoot to look like. There is no reason that you can't shoot indoor portraits of a newborn in a natural surrounding. A newborn can't sit up on their own so a backdrop's use is limited. Do you know what you want to shoot?
