EMART Backdrop Kit with Umbrella Lights review

A backdrop stand and umbrella-light kit with two muslin backdrops and two 45 W daylight bulbs, for about $108.

Studio in a box

Backdrop, lights and umbrellas.

Umbrella choice

White softens; silver adds contrast.

Bulbs

CFL at 5500 K.

Alternative

The HYJ-INC kit is similar.

A two-light portrait

Place the umbrellas at 45° on either side of the subject, a few feet in front of the backdrop. Use the white shoot-through umbrellas for soft light, or the black-silver ones for more contrast.

White or black backdrop

White gives a bright, clean look for headshots; black hides the background for dramatic portraits. Keep the subject away from the backdrop so it does not cast a shadow on it.
