Being relatively new to photography and having only used cheap fleaBay material I have limited knowledge on it, does the muslin material crease like say a cotton sheet?

That's kind of what I was getting at, I have a 2m x 2m popup but find that of taller full length shots or more that 3 people it's unsuitable, can't decide weather to get 2.75m paper or vinyl or go for fabric (which I've had other problems with creases being mobile or indeed a larger popup but...

Just gauging what others use and why! Do you use backdrops for mobile portraits in people's homes or do you find the space restrictions so much of a problem that you try not to use them?

It may have been covered before but I'm after advice for storing cotton sheet type backdrops so they don't crease?

There will also be another kind photographer joining me to shoot the match so I'm sure between us we will get plenty of usable images. Many thanks for all your comments and advice.

Ok guys here is what I have decided to do. I have contacted the coach and said that due to me being novice and the possibility of challenging conditions I will do the shoot for free, if the images are of a usable quality I will put together a watermarked proof disc and then if they decide they...

I was approached by the coach of one of the teams who is a friend, I've not led anyone to believe I'm better than what I am and even with my lack of experience as in photographing football I think £100 is fair! It's less than £5 per player.

I appreciate what you have said, I was thinking that I could draw on my experience photographing motorsports which has similar challenging principles, ie fast moving, often low light or even at night and also at distance and the added obstacles like catch fencing to contend with.

No I made it clear in my replies that I was by no means a pro which is why I was here for advice, I clearly stated that I'm not a pro so the price would have to reflect this! I also said that it's not untill the summer which means I will have time to get along to some games to make sure that I...

Sorry does that not make sense?

And if anyone has any tips on shooting football they would be gratefully received. I'm planning on going to a couple of games just to get my eye in and see what works and what doesn't.

I will just have to do the best I can with the light I have.

Well Colchesters new ground does have fairly high stands though but I will be able to get right on the edge of the pitch and have good access.

Colchester community stadium, will be 3pm and in the summer. Ive not photographed there before. I might grab some arty arcitechture shots of the stadium to use too.

Will do thankyou all for your help ive decided to charge on the basis of the number of players and charge £5 per player as it is local to me and it will hopefully result in repeat business.
