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!

    I’m sorry not to post examples, but there are a lot of people in these pictures and I don’t want to violate their integrity nor out my identity.

    It’s the very “sweaty” look I don’t want to achieve as well as everything being very shiny or not shiny at all and just dark

      You mention you are doing photography in a student organization. Perhaps there is a student photography club who has a teacher who could help or other student photographers.

      Without specific examples it is hard for people to give more specific advice other than get a larger aperture lens, or learn to use flash (not the built in flash, get a hotshoe flash if you do not have one).
