If you are considering becoming an Event Photographer this
guide may be useful. I spent a long time researching all the kit needed to be a
successful Event photographer, testing and costing carefully. It's all current
gear available now so it's up to date unlike some of the guides I read.
I've been on training courses and I've done quite a few
different Events now, so this is to help others avoid some of the common
mistakes. This guide to Event photography is based on my personal experience
and you are welcome to reproduce it as long as you credit this article with the
website address.
I do recommend anyone interested in Event photography going
on the excellent training course supplied by Systems Insight, speak to Mike
Orr, Stuart or Darren at systems insight. I've also found the Event Photographers
Society really useful.
It is divided into sections as follows:
1, Camera Equipment needed for Event Photographers;
2. Lighting equipment for Event Photography;
3. Green Screen Event Photography;
4. Starting an Event
Photography Business.
1. Camera Equipment for Event Photographers.
You don't NEED the latest high-end professional DSLR with
pro glass lenses to shoot an event! It's nice to have good kit but that should
be a given for any Pro Photographer. In reality the customer at a football
tournament, school prom or black tie event doesn't care what kit you have as
long as the results are good, and you don't want to be carrying a heavy camera
with fragile glass in an environment that is often boisterous and busy!.
You don't need to shoot huge resolution RAW files and won't
have time to post process or mess about with hundreds of settings .You are
aiming to get a sharp, vibrant and well lit photograph of enough resolution to
print at your final output size. Concentrate on making the people look great!.
I do recommend a wireless work flow which I cover later, and
again you need the files to be small enough to send quickly. I use a Nikon D700
but that's only because I have one for Property photography as I need the full
frame and low light capabilities.
