What do you have against fire extinguishers???? 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 personally, I look to add some sort of extinguisher in every shot I take. It’s my signature!
They put down the fire, we need fire in our photos)))

This Is going To be my first time photographing event semi professionally. This tips helps. Thank you.
You bet! I hope it went well! 😀
What’s the name of that flash diffuser adapter
I was like “why is she recommending a wide angle lens for an event?” Then at the end of the video “thank you Shutterbug for letting me try out this lens!” Ohhhhh, that’s why.
Hey hey! Sorry for the late response to your comment. I’ll tell you, I love shooting with a wide-angle lens for events. It can help create diagonal lines that draw attention to the center of the shot (if you’re close enough) and make the images more dynamic. 🙂
Why wouldn’t you use bring a wide angle lens?
@@JohnIvoryMusic A wide angle lens causes too much distortion, and can exaggerate the features of the subjects you’re trying to capture. 35mm is fine, but anything wider than that and you’ll exaggerate the subjects features. Not to mention that the wider you go, the more everything looks smaller. I always have my 15-35mm with me for when I want to capture the venue, or special shots with groups, but it’s a horrible choice when you can use something much more versatile instead like a 24-70mm. Then you’ll have the range to get in closer and isolate someone or a small group, and go wider if needed. I personally have a 28-70mm that stays on my lens 90% of the time, and the other 10% of the time it’s my 70-200. The amount of times I have to go wider probably wouldn’t even make up for a full percent considering photos taken.
@@JessicaSterlingPhotography You do realize you said it’s your “lens of choice” for events, right? Not “a lens I love using” or “It’s great for this purpose for events”… No, you said it’s your “lens of choice.” Which, I’m sorry, but is just… Well, the only reason you said that is because you were sponsored. If it is your lens of choice for events, that’s fine. Do you. But trying to convince others that they need to buy a wide-angle lens for events that will be their “go to” is just dishonest. Most photographers would tell you you’re crazy, but I don’t think for a second that you’re using a wide angle lens as your primary for events. If it is, you’re missing or screwing up a ton of shots.
Great energy! Thanks for sharing!
It is great that you touched on the psychological side of things! Approaching people with a smile… Sounds really obvious but I’m sure I wouldn’t think about it🤣
Great tips! Outstanding photo!
