Photographing a massive event with tons of guests? Here’s how I made sure to capture every moment at the NCL 100th Anniversary:

1. Position yourself strategically to cover multiple angles.
2. Focus on storytelling shots— think candid reactions and group interactions.
3. Keep your gear light and mobile for quick movement!

Big events can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, you can document every detail while staying organized! 📸🤍
