I’ve recently started working as a photographer in a student organization, meaning I shoot a lot of parties indoors in dark (think almost nightclub) lightning. Often times the people and the colors turn out weird and not very pretty. I do use the built in flash and I have an external one as well just not come around to using it yet. Any tips for settings or Lightroom Classic/Photoshop Classic editing tips?
Thanks in advance!
Built-in flashes are usually very bad. Use the external one.
Start with these settings in manual mode and experiment with them:
Camera profile set to Neutral/Flat/Cloudy. Depends on the camera.
Shutter around 80 to 200-ish. ISO somewhere between 600 and 1000. External flash (in case it supports it) set to TTL and slightly tilted backwards if there is a lower ceiling, not pointed forwards (this will cause less hard shadows).
Editing also depends on your style or desidered results. But those settings should give you a good start and some decent results (even without editing).
Thank you! I will try to figure out the external one. I’m very new to this and until I got this role (that I do for free as volunteer work) I had never shot on anything else than an iPhone so I’m trying to learn.
I will definitely experiment with the settings you mentioned!
