FREE paper backdrops for portraits! We got lots of different colored paper backdrops at the location, - Backdrops are FREE if you are shooting portraits and don’t roll out the backdrop on a floor, don’t step on it or damage it. But if the backdrop got damaged anyways (wrinkled, stained, ripped, bent, etc.) - $29.99 rate. - One sweep (up to 6 ft on the floor) of the backdrop during the shoot that we had to cut. damaged a portion of the backdrop: left footprints, ripped, wrinkled, stained, scratched it, etc. - flat $29.99 fee. - Several sweeps (more than 6 ft on the floor) of backdrop, had to be cut the backdrop multiple times. In such a case the client has to pay $59. If you'd like to buy the whole backdrop or damage the whole roll – it’s $75. Rates exclude cleaning/damage fees (billed only upon occurrence). An additional strobe head is available at $35 (includes a strobe, a c-stand, power cord and an available light modifier). Stage is not soundproof (there might be noise as music/speech and street sounds). There is no way to discern the level of noise we have here from day to day, for it is never the same. It all depends on who is shooting what and of course, there is the ambient noise coming from the street/ outside (cars, music from the stage next door) From past experience - it should be ok if you are using the mic, but again there is no guarantee.
