Nightclub Photography is NOT for everyone
Nightclub Photography is NOT for everyone
I am writing today about why Nightclub Photography is NOT for everyone.
So How did this started ? Recently everybody is talking about my Nightclub Photography & all the hot chicks I meet and talk every weekend, most of them think that I am there to pick up and that’s it.
I’d understand if this comments are coming from normal guys looking at my photos but unfortunately I get similar comments from fellow photographers. a bit weird I know.
Back to the title, Why Nightclub Photography is Not for YOU.

Below is some nightclub photography tips (it’s my own guide or rules it works for me but doesn’t mean that it’s right for everyone)
1) The main reason you are in the club is to take photos
2) Your equipment is expensive, be very careful from drinks spill
3) I hardly recommend that you invest in a public liability and equipment insurance
4) Don’t take a photo of someone who doesn’t want a photo
5) Never show the girl her photo because they are never satisfied
6) If somebody tried to drag you to a fight don’t listen and just ask the bounces to kick him out
7) If a girl is all over you don’t let her distract you from you JOB
8) Be friendly with everyone and remember to keep your smile all the time no matter what happens
9) If people want to take a photo with you do it
10) Many people will ask you to take a photo with your camera. DON’T risk your equipment otherwise you might be out of business
11) Don’t drink and shoot (it’s hard one)
12) After you documented the night or event and happy with your work it’s time to enjoy the night with the crowd if you still have energy
I don’t want to go go into technical details now but maybe later I’ll start writing some technical photography tips aimed at nightclubs ad low light events.

However it is possible to get away with the sync flash with the basic slow mode.
You need to have a camera body that has been made to work better with the high quality ISO. Wide aperture lens are amazing for the nightclub photography.

Photos to take
There are mainly five shots for the nightclub photography. They are DJ photos, crowd, staff, people and venue. Most of the nightclubs have their customized and popular DJs in the console. These nightclubs are recognized with their DJs. Therefore you should take photographs of DJs. There will be light in the DJ console in comparison to other parts of the club. Therefore you should set the camera according to it. In order to have an interesting picture you should have a wide aperture and wide angle lens. It will be enable the light to reflect from the shirt of the DJ.
Ideas for Different Styles
You should always consider about the context of the photograph. It is possible to go with the rule of one third. Background details should be included in the photograph in order to make it more interesting. Ambient light should be included in the photography. Flash of the camera should be set adequately with the setting. The blur effect can be avoided with the slow sync facility in the flash. Shutter speed can be used effectively to create a unique photo. You can match the camera movement with action of the scene as well. Exciting photos can be clicked with the cool effects. However it is always better to have a great light source nearby.
