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.
