I was privileged recently to photograph the touring charity Circus Starr. The organisers gave me freedom to roam which was a great for candids during the warm-up and informal portraits. That said, the lighting backstage consisted of one glaring spotlight, which was challenging to say the least. I didn't want to destroy the atmosphere with flash, so I shot at 800 iso on my Nikon D200s with Nikkor 105 VR and Sigma 30mm f1.4 lenses.
Circus Starr tour the country every summer doing charity big top circus events to raise money for local charities. They do a fantastic job and the circus is brilliant fun. You can visit their web site at http://www.circus-starr.co.uk/ On this occasion they were raising money for St Ann's Hospice in Heald Green, a charity that we at Michael Turner Photography have worked closely with over the past couple of years.
