Event Portraits
Just posting up some of the portraits I took at a recent event I attended.
I had a small corner at the rear of the upper level in the club and just enough room to set up a single strobe firing into a refelctive umbrella.
Seeing how it was in a nightclub there was varying levels of smoke from the smkoke/fog machine and lighting changes to contend with, along with people standing/posing close to the light or sitting down further from the light and limited space for me to back-up for full lenght shots as I only had the 55mm prime ..... but all in all I'm pretty happy with how these came out with minimal to no post-processing or editing other than a crop and re-size prior to sending the images out the people.

If at first you don't succeed - maybe sky diving isn't for you.

Hmmm, my Italian is a little rusty ..... Ok, a LOT rusty. I'll resort to google translator when I get home .... but one thing I do remember (maybe) is that in Italian, 'camera' means room, or space.
So room of illusions, and something about the mind (animi) and imperduti has me stumped at the moment.
Am I close?????

"A room of illusions for souls not lost." (= church without the guilt)!

@ SuicidnS13 - I don't know about other places around this world of ours, but a photo "booth" or portrait area of some sort at larger events and and parties is a pretty typical thing for Perth. Typically it's done one of 3 ways:
- a larger set-up and there will be a desk with assisstants and a printer and you buy a print on the night,
- shots are taken and the people given a business card with a link to a gallery which they can go to and order/buy prints,
- or the way I do it and you take $$, names and e-mail addresses on the night and send them their pics after the event.
In my experience, people who print on the night charge too much for the average punter/party goer, printing slows everything down and you need more room, people want the digital version to post on Facebook and the like and they don't want to carry around and look after prints, so will leave it until later to get their pic taken and will either forget or will have run out of money. The only place I see printing on the night work these days is when it's like a large charity event, Ball, Gala style thing in a large function centre.
For what I do - a single light, access to a power point, a pen and a clipboard along with a small space set aside for me is all that's needed. When I send out the pics I include a link to my site so there's some self-promotion and it seems to work well as a nice little money earner on the side. Works for the event promoters too as they get an additional service/attraction to offer as part of the event.
