Selecting custom backdrops may seem like a relatively simple task. However, there are endless styles of backdrops available in different sizes, patterns, and materials.

There are a few things to consider when choosing a studio backdrop size, including the size of our studio and the size of our subject. Portrait subjects should typically be pulled at least 3’ away from our backdrop to prevent shadows and allow for easy lighting. Of course, this distance our subject will be from the backdrop will be altered when taking overhead or backlit/high key shots. Below, we will discuss both the length and width restrictions of common backdrops.

A 5-foot wide backdrop is a great size for headshots and ¾-length portraits. The backdrop for pictures is easy to manage and still only requires minimal space to set up. These backgrounds are ideal for event photographers who often work in busy spaces or for photographers working in a small home studio. While 5 to 6-foot backdrops offer more flexibility than 3.5-foot backdrops, they still become a bit tight if when photographing a couple or full-length portrait.

1. A 7-foot long backdrop is typically ideal for ¾-length portrait of any average sized individual. This length of backdrop is perfect for headshots and portraits that are not full-body length.

2. A 12-foot long backdrop is designed to sit at 7-foot tall with 4-feet of backdrop sweeping along the floor. This length of backdrop is perfect for full-body portraits of a single person.

3. An 8-foot wide by 4-foot long backdrop is ideal for headshots, beauty shots, and tight interviews.

4. A 9-foot wide backdrop is what can be found in most professional studios because of its versatility. These backdrops will accommodate everything from portraits of children to portraits of families.

5. A 10-foot long backdrop is an essential addition to your studio if you plan on shooting full-length portraits or larger product shots.

These backdrops are great if we want to photograph a larger family full-length, or have a video shoot that requires movement. This can be best done Whosedrop. These long backdrops are great for when we want to pull your subjects far from your backdrop as well.
