Finally did a studio shoot but it was as the "armourer", rather than as the photographer. I found out that models and photographers don't know spit about how weapons are actually used and, despite being told the proper method of holding and using a bladed weapon or bow, they will default to improbably dramatic contortions to make the shot more interesting (hint: a rapier is a stabbing sword, so holding it with two hands in an overhead cutting grip isn't the way that it would be used).

Hopefully I'll have a few shots to share in my "Zombie Apocalypse Store" thread later this week.
