Hi, i'm just after some advice...

I am doing a corporate boxing event next week. I am ok with the boxing photography side of things but have said i will take group photos at the drinks reception before the dinner and the main event.

Hotel function rooms, i know, are not known for their great lighting... i have only a Yongnuo YN560-II speedlite and have remotes so i can go off camera.

Any advice with regards to camera settings, flash settings, best position for flash, best modifiers if needed?

anything will be greatly received

Ha ha good job it was a cheapo one off eBay!
I was half kidding.
Best option, stick the flash on a stand with a brolly from approx camera position but above

Failing that look to bounce flash

When it comes to settings, full manual, choose SS below sync, aperture for your required DoF then youll have to balance flash power with ISO to get the right mix of flash and ambient (ISO800 is a decent starting point) also try 1/4 power.
