Shooting a Dj Next week..

[the_doctor199]

Hey,

Pretty new around here, so hey!

Usually i do concerts and nightlife work, but im doing a photoshoot with a dj this week, could anyone give me any tips? It's going to be in the city centre so i can go anywhere around there and there is also a park near by that i could go to.

Will be using a Nikon d300 with 17-55 2.8 and a sb-600.

Thanks

Shouldn't you normally hang them?

er, it's pretty open ended tbh but pic of the dj with the equipment will help and perhaps with his headphones around his neck or box/bag on his shoulder/arm

unless you're in a club though unless you get imaginative with props it's going to be a pretty much standard band type shoot

Best way to shoot a DJ is with a 7.65 round - no worries about needing a second shot

'fancy going to the cinema tonight' ? 'Dunno, who's the projectionist' ?

Make it Chris Moyles please?

Anyone else able to help with something not relating to shooting them?!

You need a theme. You can go for the tried and tested headphones, record bag affair or be more imaginative.

What you trying to do, what look you going for?

Are they photogenic/good looking?

Cheers, ill have a look through Flickr and see if i can get some ideas. The dj is quite a big guy so not really the most photogenic

Ive asked him to bring headphones and ill throw those into a few shots.
