Some of my tips for event photography involve developing a relationship with the host of the event, both at the opening of an event and the end of the event. At the beginning of the event where you are responsible for event photography, ask the host for an agenda or outline of the event and ask what to expect in terms of images that they specifically want captured at specific points. More details on that in the video. Also, at the close of the event, give advance notice (15-20 minutes) to the host before you pack up that you will be leaving soon. Other tips include how to use your flash for better images, including options for diffusers and bouncing the camera flash for more pleasing images.
