Hi,
I am seeking advice for a charity gala that I am shooting later this week. The gala will consist of guests mingling, silent auctions, and an evening program consisting of speeches from the event hosts and honored guests. In the past I have shot events like this completely with on camera flash; however, I was thinking to up my game a bit and possibly use a few remote flashes to light the stage for the evening program and possibly to add a bit to of light while shooting portraits/candids near the stage. Below are photos I found of the event venue and the likely setup.
As you can see space near the stage is likely a bit tight to setup an effective, yet out of the way flash. Any advice on flash placement? Or would you advise to just stick to on camera flash/provided stage lightning?
