2. There’s no problem like folds and wrinkle marks like a paper roll.
3. You shoot a direct light source and not a bounce source. So probably you can use lesser flash power. Lesser power also means shorter duration that helps capturing liquid splash.
4. It’s easy to store. Wrap it with a paper and slip it behind any bookcase or wardrobe. I’m sure Debbi won’t mind that.
5. It’s not expensive as a soft box. Roughly speaking, it shouldn’t cost more than 7–10£.
Thanks Rudra, I'll go buy a sheet. I found this article on similat lines:
