The blue and pink Collapsible Reversible Background from Manfrotto opens to a full 6 x 7' for studio use, and since it folds to one third its original size, you can easily transport it for location work. This background can be used in portrait or landscape orientation, whether you are shooting one or more subjects. A reversible background provides the added benefit of allowing you to change the color whenever you choose and the convenience of carrying one less background.

The steel rim is enclosed in rim tape with a triple-reinforced stitch line so it won't pop out, and if the rim comes apart or breaks, it is covered by a lifetime guarantee. A storage bag is included.

Q: 8. Does this come with equipment to stand or do we have to purchase a light stand and/or boom separately?

A: No the item does not come with a stand. I recommend a sturdy stand at least a Manfrotto not the Lastolite (Lastolite 3355 Bracketed Stand) as it is way too light and will just tip over - I know I got this. Another recommendation is a Lastolite Magnetic Background Support (LL LB1120). This attached to the top of your light stand and the background will just click onto the magnets. Hope this help.

Q: 10. Which background is more useful for corporate headshot - white/grey or black/grey?

A: Color choice is entirely a matter of style, what lighting you use and camera settings. I use a grey only background. Between the camera and light settings I can go from pure white to solid black and with a gel I can get any color I need.
