Are y'all using these or portraits? Would a larger size be better for something like outdoor portraits?

These are great for reflecting sunlight. I use these primarily for outdoor portraits to eliminate unflattering shadows. By varying the distance and angle, you can create a little reflection or full length.

We use them for video production and still photography. For the price they are great. I guess the size would depend on what the subject is, or how many subjects there are. I have yet to encounter an issue where we needed something larger, but every project and shoot is different. Hope this helps.

Not 100% sure as I don't have one physically with me to give you specs, but I ordered these prior to the holiday as a gift give-a-way idea for my customers and they were a perfect fit and finishing touch for the 4x6 photos we took during the holidays. They're plain so defintely room for your creative/artistic side to come out.

I use the 28mm for more of a wide angle shot. I would recommend the 50 for family portraits. They both have a good bokeh effect but I found the 50mm was sharper

It's good for small still life's ,small portraits, but that's it. I self portrait would be tricky.

I used them for 8x10 photos with very satisfactory results. The mat's opening is, however about 7 1/2 inches by 9 1/2 inches so you will have to edit your photos and/or position them to their best advantage in the space available. Hope this is of help to you.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality. Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards. Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

I WOULD SAY IT IS MORE HELPFUL FOR LANDSCAPE PHOTOS. It's a good deal, but because they have to be fastened wit a set screw, it's not ideal for spontaneous shooting. I am not sure how much I will ever use this item.

Yes, I use them to protect some autographed 8x10 photos and have found them very useful. They have a slight tint which I believe is to reduce UV exposure, but I cannot confirm that. They are thick enough to be hardy but still manageable.

Yes, you could attach an actual photo, and the inside is nice for writing, but it seems like a waste. They're really meant to be printed on, for one, and also, they are too small for a standard 4x6 photo, so you might have to shrink your photos. There are cards out there specifically designed for photo attachment and I think they would look better. (See if Avery has one.) I've seen cards that have a special insertion pocket for photos -- that would look much nicer than gluing a photo on one of these (the edges would be left exposed).

You can use most any background its more about coverage like you can use a 6x8 for portraits (you could even use smaller like even a 4x4 fabric the hanger bar comes in 4 sections I believe you can go down to 2 sections.the main size you will want would likelt be a 10x10 as the bars can go 9.5 high.you could also do a 10x20 which would stream out for the ground cloth.you may also consider some clamps and tension clips (the sheet is 10 and the bar is like 11ft)I would not want to hang too heavy of a background on this system but does work.

if you are into portraits of children just like me, you might want to consider EF 50mm lenses. i also have EF 24-105 L, but i found myself using 50mm the most. 24-105mm is a versatile player that you can take everywhere w/ decent amount of light. however, for portraits, i would highly recommend 50mm. bokek in the background is just stunning. i personally have 50mm 1.2 L, and experiencing superb result.

I've used for portraits in a pinch. It does the job, but you have to stand back a bit. You're better off using your kit lens if you have it available. Much easier.

I have only good things to say about these backgrounds. I have used them for many portraits and they look great. I did find that you have to pay attention to the size of inserted image with respect to the objects in the background. I also found their instructions clearer and easier to understand the the ones in the Photoshop manual.

Yup. I picked up two and hung them both in portrait to create a larger surface.

Yes. Shoot wide open at f/2.8. At 4x zoom and longer it gives a pleasant background blur to portraits. Shoot over 4x for more blur.

I used Kodak Picture Paper in size 8.5x11. They have some that is glossy on both sides. Then I cut to fit the badge. They looked great and the price can't be beat!!
