Shooting in a nightclub tips needed
-
gonna be shooting in a night club at the weekend while it’s open to the public.
anyone got any tips on shooting in a low light place like a club.i have a flash attachment.
thanx
Depends on how much background you want.Shoot wide apertures. If you want crisp shots of people with a dark background, then a fast shutter speed and let your flash do its work. More background needed? Slower shutter speed, but you will get more movement blur from anything thats moving around. But this can create a feeling of dynamism…

You may want to use the rear curtain flash sync function to put movement blur in the right position relative to movement.
You might also get a couple of ideas from the http://www.globalunderground.com website which features come very high quality club photograhy by Dean ‘the dancing machine’ Belcher.
Done my first night club shoot 3 weeks ago, lol its the crowds that can ruin a good shot, working with 400 invited guests is an art in itsself never mind the lighting problems. I think best advice already given , let your off camera flash do the work and try and get groups of punters together in some kind of organised groups, it can look better then just shooting bits of a crowd.
Good luck
