but I think the flash would be visible by creating odd light reflections off the features in the hall.
I also think the quality of film is different. IE the guy seems very sharp and 'stark' where the hall has a serene 'sales brouchure' quality to it. If you look at the other pictures on the linked site, I think the pictures of the bathroom fittings probably came from the same brochure.

...after what happened to that other photographer, the papers should be pretty careful about this kind of thing.
Why forge a photo when there is plenty of oppurtunity to get the real thing anyway?
Unless we are being lied to about a great number of things, but I can't imagine that would ever happen.

what about the depth of field? The hall seems to be in good focus and yet the foreground is sharp. Isn't that difficult / highly improbable to achieve?

it's not. A large depth of field keeps everything in focus. Especially if the photographer uses a telephoto lens.

generally means greater depth of field.
Byproduct of the aperture; longer lenses tend to have smaller apertures ('cos the lens would have to be very wide as well, which means heavy & expensive)

I'm also wondering about his height/perspective. To me he looks like he'd have to be standing on a box or something.

...we would have to see the original to be sure. As others have said, the Jpeg compression can do funny things.
In the meantime, why don't we all have a look at the moon landing footage :)
