Show up to hoppin’ bars, usually the “authentic dive bar” (read: expensive shitty yuppie bar) that sells PBR and Yuengling at $12 per
Ideally bring a friend, but get like four drinks in you if you don’t have one
Bring three memory cards
Set it on aperture priority mode and blindfire into the crowd on C(h) with your arm extended
Eventually people will notice you taking photos
Wander around taking unsolicited pics, if you’ve done it right, people will pose with their friends for you
If you’re lucky, better if it’s a holiday, somebody will be there with a bunch of friends who’s getting married or knows someone whos getting married
Give them your number and insta handle and shoot a bunch of free pics of them, make sure they’re acceptable.
>free cheat code: get a straight bracket and do direct terry richards flash with motion freeze, people fucking love itCarry around a pen and notepad, write down numbers and which exposures you took of people
Wake up, do hardcore BD and send people their photos the next day. If you know someone is going to have a wedding or event or they’re a potential client, be as attentive as possible and remind them you exist without being irritating
