    So true about the battery grip or anything that makes your camera look huge and super professional. This equates to them thinking you are huge and super professional as well and obviously know perfectly what you're doing.

    Great tips, much better than other "Use a flash!" (no doy) "tips and tricks" videos. You really put the focus on setting yourself up for getting the right shots, fitting in, having fun, being likeable. Great job! Although, I have to say, I disagree about using the viewfinder and bouncing the flash. Bouncing flash can be very effective, although it isn't meant for nightclub photography. It's better used in places with white walls and ceilings. The viewfinder shouldn't really slow you down either, and it makes a huge difference with framing your shots. As you said, don't leave things (such as framing) to be fixed in post. Frame it correctly from the start.

    • @hanssatrum

      Thanks! Hate videos like that. To elaborate on your "question". The viewfinder puts your face behind the camera, which makes it harder to communicate with the subjects. It takes a few seconds going back and fourth adjusting flash and settings. The lcd screen uses a second to active when you want to use it, and the viewfinder activates when its not supposed to. So its just a lot of extra variables i dont need. I turn the viewfinder of and have learnt to frame the shot with my live lcd. - As you said yourself. Bouncing the flash is not for the nightclub scene, even though a lot of people recommend it. So for Nightclubs its not ideal, and therefore useless for beginners anyways. :) Hope that clarified my reasoning.

    I tried taking photos with the flash, and I noticed many people were squinting because their eyes were adjusted to the dark and because of that I no longer have a job. I need to know how to take photos in a nightclub without using flash.

    • @hanssatrum
      @hanssatrum  Год назад +3

      Well i have never had this problem. Usually people wouldnt be able to react. I think you might be using adaptive flash or TTL. Which shoots two flashes per image. So the flash can adjust its power compared to the camera light. Its useful in certain situations, but i always use manual both in flash and camera. Watch a flash tutorial about the different modes. I think that may be your problem. I also shoot 5 images per subject. In medium burst mode. Then im guaranteed that the eyes stays open in at least one of the images. Also avoiding using a too powerful flash might also help. Hope this explains it. :)

      Well i usually tell them to ask the organizer. It takes some time to send to different people so i prefer to not do it. However i can tell them to follow and text me on Instagram the next day. Puts the responsibility on them and i get followers. Most organizer would not really mind i think.

    • @hanssatrum
      @hanssatrum  2 месяца назад

      its difficult to say honestly but a Tamron 20-40mm, a 17-28mm or the one i have 28-75mm are all great choices for wide angle lenses. A budget one might also be the Tamron 24mm lens. Impossible to say. The 28-75mm is one of the most popular and versatile lenses due to its 2.8 constant F stop. All of these lenses er good. Hope that gives you a direction.

    How do you manage autofocus in the far night clubs? And how do you manage when there is a smoke machine which gives a washed out feel when using a flash?
    I use a NikonZ6ii and SB 700. Can you recommend any settings, mainly to fix the focusing.

    • @hanssatrum
      @hanssatrum  Год назад +1

      In the far ones? Its easier to get the right focus when something is far away in my opinion. I use Continuous AF and a medium size af point. Try to move your flexible focus point around on the screen. You dont always have to focus in the middle. I also put it on responsive for faster focus «hunting» because people move so much around. Sometimes focus lock can be useful as well. When its really dark. When using the Flash on far away subjects and there is smoke it will ruin the image to a degree. So then i would most likely turn off the Flash. If the subjects are close by i increase the power. I like the smoke effect a lot. Your equipment is very good for this. Dont be afraid to turn up the ISO :)

    • @hanssatrum
      @hanssatrum  2 месяца назад

      If it works for you then it works for you. I have found however that using the viewfinder in general takes the attention away from the subjects and you are not as present in the moment - hiding behind the camera. It also does rarely affect the framing as i have, with training, learnt to frame rather quick with the lcd screen. Using the viewfinder restricts you to one angle as well. Bouncing the flash i can not recommend as its unpredictable and therefore useless in my opinion. I never made it work and i dont any "great" benefit apart from maybe softer lighting when you bounce it right. Watch my full guide where i explain in detail :))

      I started on hourly rate through my work at a Club. As if i was working any shift. Then like 150$. Later when i felt i was getting better 200$. Started a company. Then when i could chose where to shoot 250$. In Norway taxes are like 30% and after you reach a certain income its another 25% VAT. So my prices went up to like 300$ depending on workload. Still got paid less than when i didnt have a company. However bigger Clubs can pay you more.
