How do you start with event photography? How do you take your first steps in this, rather difficult, branch of photography. Because remember, you have to be able to take good photos in all circumstances. Poor or minimal light, rapidly changing situations, little room for maneuver, etc. we shall give you some tips for capturing great photos at events before retouching with a free pc photo editor.

Start With Smaller (Local) Events

Starting small is the best tip to start with event photography. Because this way you can test whether it is something for you and try a lot. Contact local event organizers. This can be in the local shopping center or at a community center. There are often no budgets for a professional photographer here and a starting photographer is often more than welcome.

 Master The Correct Technique

During your start, you encounter so many situations that you quickly learn the right techniques. Every assignment goes better because you know how to tackle challenges from previous shoots. For example, many locations are not well lit, which is extra difficult. Or the location itself is quite dark, but the sun shines very hard in certain places. There is then maximum contrast between hard sunlight and little light on the location itself. Then you have to get the most out of your equipment (see next tip).

One of the points that I always come across in event photography is ‘talking people’. And talking people are often not very photogenic, make sure you shoot a lot and learn to estimate when someone looks the best. When people with more facial expression talk, it becomes more difficult to catch the right time. You only learn this by gaining experience.

Provide The Right Equipment

And then I immediately come to the next tip. Provide the right equipment. Professional assignments ensure that you must have professional equipment including a free pc photo editor. A camera with which you can shoot with a high ISO is essential. Nowadays many cameras can do this. Then dare to use this! I regularly shoot at ISO 4000 to get enough atmosphere in the images.
