I’ve recently started working as a photographer in a student organization, meaning I shoot a lot of parties indoors in dark (think almost nightclub) lightning. Often times the people and the colors turn out weird and not very pretty. I do use the built in flash and I have an external one as well just not come around to using it yet. Any tips for settings or Lightroom Classic/Photoshop Classic editing tips?

Thanks in advance!

    Built-in flashes are usually very bad. Use the external one.

    Start with these settings in manual mode and experiment with them:

    Camera profile set to Neutral/Flat/Cloudy. Depends on the camera.

    Shutter around 80 to 200-ish. ISO somewhere between 600 and 1000. External flash (in case it supports it) set to TTL and slightly tilted backwards if there is a lower ceiling, not pointed forwards (this will cause less hard shadows).

    Editing also depends on your style or desidered results. But those settings should give you a good start and some decent results (even without editing).
