Those of you who follow my blog and instagram feed, see me using Lastolite Collapsable Backdrops on the majority of my Portrait Sittings. Here are my top 10 backdrops which I recommend for headshots & portraits. As a travelling portraitist collapsible backgrounds are a quick and easy solution. They take seconds to set up and pack away making them equally convenient to pop-open in offices & clients homes.
I enjoy shooting portraits with the collapsible backdrops. As a one man band, I can easily accomplish the background set-ups by myself since they fold and unfold like a giant reflector. They are easy to carry on public transport, which is a blessing. The majority of my sittings take place in London. As a regular passenger on the London Underground they are easy to stow in a large suitcase.
As well as single sided backdrops, Lastolite offer reversible backdrops giving you more options. The backdrops I most frequently us are the Black/White, White/Light Gray Urban Collapsible Background Smoke/Concrete and Vintage backdrops such as Tobacco/Olive.
