Jeff,

Profiles, fake ad's like those found in old mags from around 1973, and publicity shots for 1970's movie.

I may get access to a studio, but more likely will be outside during the day using natural light, i do have a small reflector and thats about it. I guess i could make some blockers or something.

I would follow John and Ken's suggestions for color and style. If your using print film I'd try the Kodak 800 Max, for slides maybe the Fuji 800. If you under expose about 1/3 to 2/3 a stop with the slide film that will make the grain pop a little. For print film under expose at least 1 stop, maybe 2 stops. You'll need to run some tests. I'd shoot on overcast days and use a small flash for fill or reflectors (could be foam core).

I found a little suprise here today, my grandpa through a friend found someone who was selling off their stuff from the business, and picked up for approx $280 USD a canon fs4000u 4000dpi film/slide scanner... woohooo should be fun!

speak to you all later on.
