well, first you lure them to your house with candy and burbon ... oh, wait.
you carry a little portfolio around and you hand out business cards, that's
what seems to work for models anyway. 

when it comes time to take the photo, you find a model who's willing to take
her shirt off, strap her in some $30 costume angel wings, take a crappy $50
strobe that has but one setting (on), wrap a bed sheet around it because
it's waaaay too bright otherwise, aim it at a wall, and shoot away. and keep
shooting for hours and hours. we tried it with a white seamless too but it
wasn't nearly as good as just the garage wall.

i think the tough part is playing around enough with the strobe to get the
right lighting.
