What do I do lads. It’s going to be at a club so I’ll be one of those guys with a camera and massive flash walking around and taking pics of people in the dark

Sounds like they want you to work for free. If so, fuck the quality, get whatever shitty flash you can find and point it straight at the subjects max power no diffuser. Although they might like the look ironically and it'll work out who knows.

Try to just go along with it. if you don't own an external flash, use the one attached to the camera. I would recommend trying to get some interesting angles and experiment a little with the shutter speed. it can be hard to try to have full control with the photos when shooting in an environment that you can't really control that much.

I'm sure it's going to be okay, i mean yea it's your job to try to get the best result but at the same time your friend is the one that chooses to ask you in the first place as well.

She’s offering $80 for 2-3 hours of work which I guess is decent enough. I wasn’t going to mention anything about the price cause I know I’ll be shit but she offered and I just went along with it

Just get an auto thyristor flash for 30$ or so. You can find some with tilting heads etc.
Set the aperture and iso on the flash, set the shutter at max sync speed or below, and fire away.
If the ceiling is not too high, you can bounce too.
Exposures will come out fine.

F8
1/200
200 iso

Start there and then play with fstop or flash power until you get it. You can actually get some “party style” shots with the popup like that and just throw some b.s film preset on top
