A comment and a question:
I would suggest looking into a good flash diffuser especially if you're in smaller bars or find yourself taking pictures of people from only a few feet away. I find the Gary Fong Lightsphere is an amazing asset for giving you the maximum amount of light with the least washout or over exposure in close quarters or even in a medium size room. It also minimizes the nasty background shadow that direct flash produces.
As for the question, I am curious how you got involved with taking photos for local bars/clubs. I am from the Washington, DC area and am trying to figure out how to get involved in that to increase my portfolio, experience, and most importantly, to allow me to keep doing what I love to do in my spare time - photograph. Any tips on where to start looking?
