Santa photoshot

    Hello. I might have a job in the next few weeks where I have to take photos of Santa's visit to a local daycare center. I am just looking for any tips really. I never had to work with so many children (about 40) or in this setting. I only found out about this job opportunity today so I'm not yet sure of the set up or what they expect from me. Also if anyone has advice on where to get presentation folders for the photos that would be great too. Hopefully they will just want a disc but if not I'd like to have things ready. I saw on amazon that there are Christmas themed photo holders but I'm not sure about them and the parents would probably want something different and awkward. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I don't have any studio lighting. just a flash unit so I was hoping I could get away with just bouncing the flash. I am glad to get the work but I'm just $h!tting a brick the more I think about it.

    Only advice I can give is just do it your way, bounce flash and get in close. Engage the kids with a bit of banter and everything will be grand. Best of luck.

    Organise with the centre to have 20-30 minutes there a few days a head of time so that you can see where you'll likely be taking the shots and can take some to see what settings are working. Even better if you can bring someone along with you to model (doesn't have to be a kid).
