Birthday Party Celebration


















I haven't been posting for a while. I have been shooting, perhaps not as frequently as previously. Birthday celebrations, especially in clubs, are really difficult to tackle for the photogrpahers. There are restrictions as to the equipment you can bring in, restrictions about what you can and what you cannot shoot, restrictions about the space you can use as clubs are crowded and full of people. Furtheremore, the crowd there is usually having fun and most of the times, unable to focus properly due to consumption of alcohol. People move around, following the beat of the music, often fast-paced, with glasses in their hands, spilling their contents as they jump around.

So you get the picture, it is challenging. It is also difficult because of the lighting that clubs use. Anyway, I am not saying all this because I want to find excuses for the poorer quality of the photos, if any. In fact, I am just pointing out the issues with shooting in clubs. One advice would be to bring the cheapest SLR you have, bring a zoom lens, kit lenses usually do great, anything from 18-55mm. And good luck !

And of course, all the credits go to the people present there and who let me take their photos.
