Especially if you start out in small clubs, it’s very important that your aperture is as slow as possible, so either a f/1.8 or a f/2.4, because you have to be able to capture darkness and get as much light in as possible.
When you are shooting in small clubs, you just need one camera and one lens. The 24-70mm is a very easy one to use, but you could go wider, because you’ll always be quite close to the performer and you won’t be able to capture the whole scene.
The most important thing is not to use lenses that are f/5.6 or above, because you’ll be shooting nothing – just blackness. So start from as wide an aperture as possible, so that you can capture as much light as possible, and with a lens that’s practical for shooting close to the action.
