About
My journey as a nightclub photographer started when I was able to book my first gig through a Craig's List ad. I've photographed events and portraits, but I didn't really know what adventures awaited me in the nightlife scene.
I found out that I had much to learn on how to capture light in dark environments. It was a challenge I eagerly accepted. The techniques I learned doing nightclub photography helped me grow as a photographer and I'm able to apply these skills in other types of photography.
When I was starting out as a nightclub photographer, I scoured the web looking for nightclub photography tips that I could use and I noticed two interesting things.
The first thing I noticed was the web has a lot of good and bad information out there regarding nightclub photography techniques. The second thing I noticed was that there isn't a single website that contained all the good and useful nightclub photography tips and techniques in one place. The good info that nightclub photographers could actually use were scattered all over the web.
This where I come in. I've consolidated everything that I have learned and created The Ultimate Guide to Nightclub Photography for Nightclub Photographers.
Nowadays, I tell a story with my photos, capturing the excitement of the party scene in a way that allows someone looking at the photo to share the experience. I'm redefining nightclub photography by making some of the best nightclub and nightlife photos!
I'm a self taught photographer so my eye for photography has been influenced by many people whose work are posted on the web. I used to go to many different online forums and blogs just to look at photos. I took what I liked and found useful and discarded the rest. I learned the basics, kept it simple, and eventually developed my own style.
My shooting style for nightclub photography has changed a lot from when I first started to how it is now. When I first got started, I pretty much stayed within a certain range for the shutter speed which I was familiar and comfortable with from doing event photography. After getting more experience and learning more about how light works in a nightclub setting, I now like to play around with light through various exposure settings and through shooting with the flash off the camera.
What I like about nightclub photography is that I get a chance to capture the excitement of the nightlife and the adventures in the party scene! My photos show the guests having a great time and they enable the viewer to share that experience.
