I keep thinking that mannequins are by their nature impressions of the human form and so to have one mistaken for real you're going to have to work by capturing the mannequin and the impression of the real person in the same frame. Which means, I think, giving up the entire form of either for some essence and partial form of each. But I speak entirely without any formal training. Nevertheless if I were to be shooting I'd find ways to use partial reflection to good advantage - it might be an issue of time-of-day, catching the late afternoon/early evening light when interior and exterior are about at the same illumination. That's a magic time and just writing about it is inspiring me to explore them again.
