When you spend so much time setting up the props and lights for a portrait you have to have a "light model", someone to bounce light off of to fine adjust the angles and intensity of the lights. Sometimes when you need this "light model" your actual models are still in makeup. So you get another photographer to help you out. This time it was lucky Andrew Heinsohn. A great photographer from New Ulm, Texas.

Now, while Andrew makes a great model for this type of photograph, almost like he's played a game or two with a pistol in hand... it's time for the real models!

All these photographs were created with the same light setup. Two lights with 5" reflectors and grids on each side behind the model just out of the frame and a beauty dish with grid mounted on a boom just above and in front of the model.
