I have a full-size cardboard cutout of Elvis that I use to set up my studio
lights. It's too dimensional so it's not much a lot of help with lighting, but
it works for framing and exposure. And when shooting on white or pale
backgrounds, I do get some approximation of lighting values based on the
shadows.

I did a family photo shoot the other night for a friend. It was only my second photo shoot involving small children, and we ran into the issue of the very short sell-by date for children's attention spans.
I had expected something like this, so I used the adults to set up and dial in
the lighting. Thinking about the issue, I was wondering if anyone who
photographs children a lot has a large doll, or stuffed animal that they use as
a stunt double for the kid, for setting up the lighting, background etc.? Has
anyone tried this and found that it doesn't work?
I was also thinking that it might be handy to try and find a manikin to use in
setting up photo sessions of adults. I'd be tempted to paint it with hotrod
primer to get something approximating 18% grey.
