I know that sounds dumb but googling custom content for rtc2 or open rtc2 doesn't take me very far.

Mostly want alot of new scenery and rides.

Hi my friend is very confident in my abilities as a photographer I have ADHD so I use it as a hobby for many things Nature, Cars, Cosplay, Etc. a month ago they asked if I could photograph them at the Atlanta Aquarium at a Night Party for the opening to Momo con.

I said yes of course as I really wanted to do so and the opportunity to photograph people who both like my work and get practice in was a golden opportunity I don't usually get.

Here's the thing, I want to do them right even if I'm doing this for free I want to give it everything Ive learned but I have questions for the community that knows better then me.

I'm assuming I'll be in a Low Lighting setting,.typically and for the last 25 years I've used my Rebel T2I and it's standard lens as well as a 75mm-300mm lens, it doesn't do well with darker settings and while I'm going to bring it I'd like to rent a camera body that is compatible with lens I have as it'll be more cost effective ($45-75 for seven days, all I need is it for 4).

I've loved this little camera for 15 years but I wanna try something more modern with better resolutions and ability to handle darker settings as well as natural light as I am assuming I can't bring in my LED panel with me for the safety of the sea creatures.

Question 1: what is a good camera body? What's something that will meet my lighting needs that won't leave a lot of noise

Question 2: for indoor and a variety of full body and mid portrait shots, what are some lens I should consider renting? If I did rent any.

Question 3: what are some poses I can try to relax my friend as she can be shy and very unsure of her body positivity? Are there any good examples someone can share via a link that I can draw inspiration from?

Question 4: what challenges should I expect from yalls experience?

Question 5: how can I relax my friend and get them to believe in the final results?

Question 6: what are things I should avoid?

Any awnsers are appreciated.
