Photography Question 

Neelam Mughal
 

Urgent help please!


Fashion shoot in a Bar -
I've recently been approached by a small magazine company after they saw my work and offered me the Fashion Photographers position. Unfortunately, although they are aware... I have just started serious photography. My studio photos come out great but my first shoot is going to be in a bar. Therefore minimal lights, neons and spotlights. I'm working with 4 models who will be spread across the bar, all models have to be in full focus and all the clothes etc must be visible as its a fashion shoot. I've never taken photos other than in my little studio! I'm just a beginner and very young but dont want to lose this amazing opportunity! I'm completely stuck on this shoot. Basically, do I use a flash? if so what type? Will I need a tripod for the shoot? and how do I set up my lighting? Will I need to use refectors too? And someone mentioned I need a slow shutter speed... anyone happy to help ellaborate please!?

  Neelam, you need to truly be humble and honest with this magazine and tell them you're only starting and are in no way prepared to take on such an assignment. They will admire your honesty and the fact that you didn't make them go through a lot of wasted time, money and complications, with not only the bar, but also the models.
