Background Wrinkles

StompToWork

Just starting off in portrait photography, and so far, this is the only major issue I have.

Anyone have any advice on how to keep wrinkles out of my white cotton background? At the moment, I am steaming every time I hang, but that is a pain.

I suppose I could roll it up, but it's 2m wide, that would be a pain to transport. (Portable Studio setup!)

Anyone come up with a nifty solution to this, or am I bringing a steamer to all my gigs?

How about those plastic clamps that you could clamp and stretch your backdrop to the side vertical supports.
Or buy a vinyl backdrop here>http://twinflash.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=63_71
They are in Swords, Co. Dublin

Your lights should blow out any creases and wrinkles, assuming its the hi-key look you are going for with a white background?

Failing that then you need to get yourself a hi-lite.
