I am just setting out in using Drupal and as a pro Photographer and have a few questions about what can and cannot be done. In particular I am providing wedding photography services. I have been inspired to use drupal by my colleague John Stewart on banff photography- http://mybanffphotographer.com/
Anyway can someone tell me the ideal modules to use for
proofing images for inclusion in the clients album
fullscreen slideshow
video inserts into page
can I set up rights for couple to login and have free downloads but guest login to be different with pay to download images
If you are an expert on all this and are willing to both set it up and provie maintenance and coaching for developments as new clints are entered pm me- very sorry but i an only pay limited fees for now.

The first thing you'll want to do is pick an ecommerce module. Checkout http://drupal.org/project/ecommerce and http://drupal.org/project/ubercart, personally i prefer ubercart. If you just need paypal payments http://drupal.org/project/lm_paypal is worth a look.
Then, regarding your other questions:
1. for 'proofing' images i would just leave the nodes unpublished and/or unassigned to the client. You'll need to implement some sort of access control (ie clients = roles, clients = orgranic groups, or some type of taxonomy based system).
2. for a modal slideshow I like the http://drupal.org/project/lightbox2 module.
3. for videos i like the http://drupal.org/project/swftools (for videos already in flash format) or http://drupal.org/project/flashvideo (videos that need to be converted to flash) modules.
4. relates to which ecommerce module and access control mechanism you select.
You'll also probably want to look at the cck, imagefield, views, imagcache, and imagecache_actions modules as well.
good luck!
