    When shooting in a hotel room are external lights really necessary?

                  Maybe I should reword the question...

                  Would the on camera flash (Speedlite 580EX) be good to fill in the missing light?

                                  If you are looking for something affordable check out the 100 watt Phillips daylight bulbs they are bright as hell
                                  just replace the normal bulbs with them

                                          Bro dont bother with shooting in hotels. Due to the usual colour of hotels I always think the content looks fucking bland. Hotel rooms are usually just a mixture of beiges.

                                          Find a service appartment as they tend to look better and are bigger so it is easier to light properly.

                                          Personally I would find someone in your area who has experience in lighting plus their own kit and hire them for the day.

                                                  Hmm... Have a look at Bob Coulter's work from http://www.crazybabe.com.
                                                  Shooting in hotels, using available light plus one flash (or sometimes two I guess)...
                                                  Nothing here...

                                                      Dont get me wrong I do shoot in hotels but I just dont want them to look like hotels. The hotel look has been killed by the gonzo craze. The content I think all looks the same unless you get a hotel room that has an individual look.

                                                              The hotel he is shooting in has class though. A Hyatt or Hilton room is total shit.

                                                                                                              I want to start posting TGP galleries, can I just use someone elses and change the URL?

                                                                                                              And do I need all the pictures to be from the same set? I was thinking of taking a few from Lightspeed, few from MILF Hunter, some of my own and something else to give the gallery a broader appeal.

                                                                                                                  Considering you (and some other people here) are pro's... it is forth asking

I would suggest you turn off all hotel lights and just use your own light set. Donot forget to bring your extension cables, dont hook up all lights to the same outlet, you will blow it.

It's the "expose to the right" concept for flash photography; it also allows you to shoot with less (or no) ambient light so long as the room isn't too large.

They clost around $30 each. These work great for video! Aim the lights torward the ceiling... and you're done
