Buckle up, this post has a lot of fierce DJ Nina Flowers and Drag Queen fierceness. DJ Nina Flowers was a contestant on Ru Paul’s Drag Race. I’ve only seen one or two seasons, but it’s always fun to see a reality TV personality in the real world. It would also explain her amazing makeup!

The main event were local drag queen talent. They mingled, performed, I even photographed them at the step-and-repeat.

Photographing clubs is challenging. “Back in the day” I learned a lot about photography by photographing the old Club JAM. The lighting is dark, the smoke, and there are a lot of people. It requires some decent camera gear, a flash, and dragging the shutter. I also delete a ton of photographs. For this event I shot about 950 photographs and then I whittled down to 366. I shoot a few photos of each person or group and then pick the best photograph.

I did shoot some video, however, I haven’t had the time to put together a highlight clip. I might be able to do that later this week. Time is a precious commodity. We all have the same amount of time each day, it’s what we do with that time that is important.
Go-go
Photographing clubs or circuit parties is fun because of the smoke machines and the party lighting. It can definitely help create some awesome photographs. I think it would be fun to try fog and party lights for a portrait session. Maybe I can just hire someone to vape while we shine Christmas lights behind the smoke.

There are some very creative people out there. I would never think of the amazing makeup or outfits. Although, Pinterest might be a great resource for ideas.
