Thanks Doug. You and Ed are completely right. I pretty much thought that I should bring some lights anyway but was hoping against hope that perhaps I could get away with their lights (they are full spectrum flourescent, by the way). In any event, I certainly don't want to interrupt anyone's workout lest they are left with a bad opinion of myself and/or the photography profession. There would be no nudity in the shots as of yet but I do think I will go with what you said about showing my work in the gym after I get it back from the lab and can have them nicely matted and/or framed for use at the gym. After all, when I go to the gym I know that I am always looking at whatever is on the wall in front of me, whether it registers or not, and perhaps this will help to generate some calls as well.
I have a make-up artist for the shoot and I planned on getting some glycerine as well and going for the typical "gorgeous but sweating" look (for lack of a better description). I haven't done anything like this before so I hope I can pull it off. Hey, I'll never know unless I try, right! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Thanks for your thoughs, guys. I appreciate all of your excellent suggestions.
Good day!
Mike
