Field tips

Please note that photographing with a professional camera is not allowed here. You can take a photo with your phone, but the security can be strict and ask you to leave if they so choose.
There are lots of shapes and lines in this space, so get creative and find your perfect angle.
Have your model dress in a solid bright color so they stand out against the turquoise tiling.
I also think it looks best if your subject is turned around. It creates an air of mystery if you can't see the model's face.
