thanks mate! decided to use prime instead of zoom, it really is dark over there. need to pump the ISO to 1000 - 1600 and set the aperture to 1.8, i liked the bokeh in the end :-D
Hey, Sneaker which prime lens did you use? Your displayed pictures has a very nice soft pastel color; and the faces - I don't know how to describe but to say that - they appear "soft". Therefore the models look prettier in your photos.
In my picture, the models look tired, shiny faced and very harsh ...
