Party Room The Caves Edinburgh

Party at The Caves, Edinburgh

Last Saturday, I got the opportunity to take photographs of a birthday party at The Caves, a well known venue in Edinburgh. The party was organised by Elements.UK. ‘The Caves’ is a photographically very interesting place. It is warm, candle lit and cozy. But it is very dark.

Shooting in this kind of light is therefore a photographic challenge. That is why I like these kinds of assignments. And because everyone is in a good mood!

By combining the ambient light of the venue and the light coming from a flash, one can get some interesting effects, like in the photograph below.

And of course, no party would be complete without good food and lovely ladies!
