Hey everyone,
I have an opportunity to really get my name out there, either in a good way or a bad way. As of not, things are going great, I'm getting requests from all over the place without the need of advertising (word of mouth) and it's going very well for my side-business. I've been asked to shoot the local college's pageant tonight, and last night I shot at the rehearsal and it is CRAZY how little light is going on in this place. YOu can see everything just fine, don't get me wrong...but the power of these lights is making me shoot wide open at 1600, and it's a white balance nightmare. i believe at count there were at least 4 different temperatures of lighting going on, and they switch them around at least 12 times per show.
i have a table set up out front of the lobby at this show, and have my name and advertisement in the directory for it...as well as all over town on posters of my work for the headshots, etc. I think i'm going to offer prints in 4x6 and 5x7, so the grain will not be as bad, but does anyone have any pointers from past experiences such as these? i've quite successfully shot even photography in the past, so i'm by no means new to it, but this takes the cake for insufficient lighting, i must say.
any pointers / words to live by / prayers will be greatly appreciated lol
