They are all masterful as usual. I love that intriguing light in number two.

You're to kind Nicole :)

 

That second photo actually came from my first professional photography failure. I was paid to shoot an event at a club but the challenge was that there were only 3-7 people on the dance floor. It's tough to make the place seem full and fun when the actual environment wasn't providing me with that.

 

So I decided to go with a more photojournalism/documentary type of shoot. Shoot the environment, the DJ's, stage performers and eventually some people on the dance floor once it filled out a bit more.

 

When the event organizer received the photos she simply replied with "I can't use these :(". I tried to get feedback as to why, indicating that I love feedback as it helps me grow, but I never heard back.

 

Either way I still liked the photos and get to use them for my personal collection and it's good to get these experiences under my belt.

Not every client will be happy with the product and it's good to not personalize it, just grow from it.

 

Here's a few pictures from the night should you be interested:

I checked out the Flickr album you linked to--really nice! You did some wonderful things with the light in those. What a shame about the client response though--that no feedback bit is rotten. Seems a bit unprofessional on the client's part, but oh well. I'm glad you were able to move on without taking it personally. :)
