I’ve been wanting to re-create one of my favorite bad movies, Tank Girl, in a series of photos. Here’s one of them. Sexy Lia Lanett was the perfect subject. Post apocalyptic badass!

Miami Dolphins footballer Chris Brown was there soaking up the club’s fun & quirky atmosphere at a table with friends. Exit 66 is on the path to becoming a great addition to the South Florida nightlife scene.
Nightclub Photography Tips (Part 2)
To get rich, vibrant, colorful nightclub photos, nightlife photographers need to use slower shutter speeds than they might be used to. With a slower shutter speed, your camera has time to suck in more ambient light, creating a brighter, more colorful image.
Nightclub Photography Tips
Shutter Speed Settings
To get rich, vibrant, colorful nightclub photos, nightlife photographers need to use slower shutter speeds than they might be used to. With a slower shutter speed, your camera has time to suck in more ambient light, creating a brighter, more colorful image.
For this image of Busta Rhymes, I used a shutter speed of 0.3 seconds. This means the camera’s shutter stays open for 0.3 seconds, which forced the club lights in the background to really pop out in a wash of color.
But with longer shutter speeds, it is harder to keep the image crisp and sharp. Any movement from your subjects will tend to create a blur. In a rowdy nightclub environment, it’s hard to keep people still for a photo.
