Had the chance to shoot with Dean Zulich this week (he held a workshop at SPA). Great experience - learned a ton, and it was a blast. I told him about this idea for this challenge, and he loved it. These were the models for the day... they were amazing. Left to right: Logan (wardrobe guy), Leah, Dean, Michelle, James, Eric (kneeling).
Thanks to Nicholas (nheilweil) for letting me use his new 5D mkII for this! That camera absolutely rocks.
No pressure here - shoot Dean for a challenge. Yikes!
Hope I did it justice :O)

Dean? You have a nice rack of digicams there ;) The darkening of the corners and composition indicate the focus is on photog(you, not lacking in personality) but the mix of personalities makes this shot for me. The lighting looks great.
hmm...A shoot with all those models, I wonder what you other great shots you pulled out of this. The look on the photographers face is great. Do you really need all those cameras though? I can take a few of your hands.
