Hi, Thanks for everyones responses to my questions. I actualy received the brief today and its a little different from what i thought it was going to be. Most of the shots will be of the consierge area of the hotel and the rest will be of bars and some portraits. Most of the advise given is still applicable though and i'll be heading out to buy a spirit level tomorrow for the camera :)
The shots have to be done with on camera flash or available light, i've explained the limitations of this to the client, so their choice :) and neg film is fine. Any one got any reccomendations on a good film stock to use? i'm thinking at this stage i'll be shooting Supra 400, some with a colour corrected filter and other without, they actualy want the colour cast on some of the shots.
