Whenever Sam Simpkins (the staff photographer) and I work on a photoshoot for the magazine, he usually needs a “stand in” to pose where the model will pose so he can check the light. I was under the assumption that he usually just erases those photos in the editing process, but today I discovered a whole treasure trove of them in a file marked “Stand In” on his desktop. Here are a few of the better ones. Trust me, there were plenty of plain awful ones.
This is one from the day we shot Kenny for the cover of our Spring Break issue. I was hiding behind him holding his shirt taut. Tee-hee.
