[kully]

hi all

im new to forums and decided to register here as i was told this was the place to tap into some minds of experts and im in desperate need of advice need some advice.

im in the midst of starting my own photographic business, mainly portrait photography couple singles groups.

im about to purchase a canon eos d500 as well as a canon mp640 printers.

i have decided on a black collapsible backdrop as i like the look of that style but need one wider than 6 ft , (7 ft to 8 ft would be ideal) ideal for group photos , so if anyone's knows where i can get one then i would appreciate the help... needs to be easily transported.

also, i need to project a soft glow onto the subject but unsure how to create this...any suggestions?

what type of umbrella flash do i need for this type of work dont want to show blemishes, spots skin imperfections as this will effect sales.

all/any help is appreciated, as i have been searching on the internet hi and low and cant seem to find answers to my questions anywhere

thanks everyone

im looking forward to your responses
