Bro tis is my take on tis topic.
1stly, wen we'r covering an event do u hav control over the lighting? Do u hav control over ur models/subject. I'm talkin abt events like charity events or company events where u have VIPs and all those guests. Do u always have control over them? Telling them how they shd pose, how they shd smile. An instance or two maybe, but most of the time u'r tryin to capture e mood.
Basically i feel doing a shoot of the SIN for example makes u react fast to e situation, be it lighting, be it e cars being fixed at a certain location where u cant suka2 move it to a location tat u wan .. bla bla. It brings out e creativity in u. Where u try cover e subject in a different perspective or in a certain mood.
It oso teaches one to be discipline. Taking photos wen e opportunity arises. Taking only photos which are deem good enough
Of course .. tis does not include tonnes of pictures where models r not lookin at u .. or where models r smiling at someone else n yet u take tat picture n claim tat it's artistic n tryin to capture a certain mood. Tis i tink is totally crap n people just take for e sake of taking. As if to console themselves tat e more shots they take e more justification they have on e thousands of dollars tat they have spent on their equipment.
Simply put, if u go to SIN with an objective to master a certain situation i belive u'l learn something. But if u'r there just to shoot some gorgeous looking models without having any eye contact then i say e organisers did a good job in bringing those models.
