Question about photobooth, with two 40in pop-up softbox umbrellas, how many people can I comfortably shoot against the backdrop?

More than you're going to see. I assume cross lighting?

Yes simple cross lightning, So is this ideal for this or I need bigger umbrellas?

This will be a small space so you will be fine.

It really depends on what you're trying to achieve. cross lighting with two small to medium umbrellas is safe (shadows) and easy. I've worked with 1 60" and that was great too. The last one I did, I used a medium softbox with a grid but I did have to watch shadows.

One 40in umbrella should be more than enough.... that is what I use and I have never had an issue with 8-12 people

Off topic, but I see photographers (amateur's and pro's) leaning back like this all the time when shooting, and I've never figured out why. You wouldn't catch a sniper holding a rifle like that. Just sayin...

Last I checked we are photographers and not snipers - just saying! Anyway, I tend to do this subconsciously for who knows what reasons. Crowded reception and don't want to accidentally step on someone's feet by stepping back? Too busy trying to compose a shot with my face glued to the camera to think and physically take a step back when all I need is that little bit of lean back to get it just the way I need the shot to be?

FWIW, this is not me in this photo, it's my old assistant.

I caught myself doing this same type of pose earlier this year. I pointed it out to my wife (my newer assistant). I told her I'm calling it "the photographers thrust". When I realized I was doing it, I was "fine tuning" a shot through a bush.

Are we still talking about photography?
