Learn to light (and shoot) better by studying an egg

Love that.. Similarly, Iv been keeping my eye open for a good wig head or manikin to use as a stand in light target.

Look around for a school that teaches hair styling and such. My buddy's GF had a surplus of manikin heads from her, well, attending at least. Of course they were bald by the time she was done. Essentially they buy a bunch with hair and cut them in shorter and shorter styles.

Most of the ones she had got used as targets on the last couple of desert trips. One got used as a jockey box beer tap I think.

Still, going to have to borrow your idea. There might still be one or two around. ;)
 
Mannequin heads r used to learn lighting in photography all the time. If you guys or anyone else is interested, a quick search will get you charts and pictures of the same mannequin head with different lighting setups on it with details.
