   • Know the event’s purpose and target audience to tailor your shots accordingly.

3. Capture Candid Moments:

   • Corporate events often involve candid shots, so be ready to capture attendees’ reactions, interactions, and natural moments.
   • Use a longer lens with a wide aperture for discrete and flattering candid shots.

   • Use a tripod for stability and consider a fast lens to capture low-light situations.

8. Group Shots:
