Which of the following is NOT a popular trend in event photography?

  1. Candid photography

  2. Posed photography

  3. Photojournalism

  4. Drone photography


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Posed photography is less popular in event photography because it can feel stiff and unnatural. Candid photography, photojournalism, and drone photography are all more popular choices for capturing the energy and excitement of an event.

What is the best way to capture candid moments at an event?

  1. Use a long lens to zoom in on subjects

  2. Get close to the action and use a wide-angle lens

  3. Use a flash to freeze the moment

  4. Use a tripod to keep your camera steady


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Getting close to the action and using a wide-angle lens will allow you to capture more of the scene and create a more dynamic image. A long lens can be useful for isolating subjects, but it can also make it difficult to capture candid moments.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of lighting used in event photography?

  1. Natural light

  2. Artificial light

  3. Mixed light

  4. Strobe light


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Strobe lights are not commonly used in event photography because they can be harsh and distracting. Natural light, artificial light, and mixed light are all more popular choices for creating flattering and well-lit images.

What is the best way to use artificial light in event photography?

  1. Use a single light source to create a dramatic effect

  2. Use multiple light sources to create a more even light distribution

  3. Use a softbox to diffuse the light and create a softer look

  4. Use a reflector to bounce light back onto the subject


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using multiple light sources will help to create a more even light distribution and reduce shadows. A single light source can create a dramatic effect, but it can also make it difficult to expose the subject properly.

Which of the following is NOT a common editing technique used in event photography?

  1. Color correction

  2. Exposure adjustment

  3. Cropping and resizing

  4. Adding filters and effects


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Adding filters and effects is not a common editing technique used in event photography because it can make the images look unnatural and over-processed. Color correction, exposure adjustment, and cropping and resizing are all more common techniques for improving the look of event photos.

What is the best way to deliver event photos to clients?

  1. Upload the photos to a cloud-based storage service

  2. Send the photos via email

  3. Create a custom online gallery

  4. Burn the photos to a DVD or USB drive


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Creating a custom online gallery is the best way to deliver event photos to clients because it allows them to easily view and download the photos. Cloud-based storage services and email can be unreliable, and burning the photos to a DVD or USB drive is outdated.

Which of the following is NOT a good way to promote your event photography business?

  1. Create a website and portfolio
