How do you decide who gets the royalties to the images for this scenario? Also, do you use flash in the bar scene?

[dombower]

@sixstringsixshooter i keep the royalties. and no, no flash

Hi dom this is a very great tip/ video. May i know though if you used any speedlight in your shots inside the club? I really liked the effect of the ambient light in the pub but i never get it in my shots. They are either too bright ( if with flash) or too dark ( if without) . Thanks dom!!!

[dombower]

in a place like this bar no, never used flash. got another shoot with them this tuesday in a brighter bar, will bring flash but doubt ill use it. just use high iso and fast lenses ie f1.4

Great advice, thank you so much...really like your attitude towards all the stakeholders, and professional approach

when you did the bar shooting at 1/40th / 1/50th of a second did you use a monopod at all?
