I love the quality and lighting of all of your shots. I will confess that the most interesting part of these shots is looking at the expressions of the guys in the background, you can practically read their minds.:rofl

HA! Looks like a fun shoot. The gals were having fun too. Reminds me of when I shot womens coleslaw wrestling

Your shots are really good for what I guess is challenging lighting

This photoshoot aside, I'm ashamed to admit this, but this dungeon of a venue almost inspired me to spend over $1000 on either a new lens or a new camera. I had shot there before, and couldn't even get a decent shot shooting at f/2 at iso 3200.

Since then, I've purchased a used Sigma 30 f/1.4 for $325 (and I'm glad I did). *However* I didn't realize that venue also has a dimmer. It helped me immensely when I just said to the owner

"Hey, can I get these lights any brighter?"

He shows me the light panel on the wall.

"Go ahead and adjust the lights for whatever you need."

Don't get me wrong- the lighting is still sub par on just about every level, but I'm glad I didn't go off the deep end to accommodate this place when my confidence was shaken by a shitty shoot that never made me a dime in the first place.

:jawdrop WOW!!! I've said it before and will say it again. You are great at post. I don't know what you do but you have your own style and I like it. If i saw one of your pics mixed in with some others, I could easily pic yours out. Well done sir!

I didn't have a clue there were guys in the background until the other poster said something about it, then I went back and noticed them!! Haha

[SnapLocally]

Sweet. Thanks guys.
