Heindl chooses not to capture the X-rated stuff, however. What he does capture are all of the *other* moments that are significantly more awkward. My favorite images from Carl William Heindl's 'One Night Stand' are the ones in which both models are in the same photo. There, the palpable tension between the two makes for an amazing shot. **Implications** - Consumers are attracted to products and imagery that are relatable and honest.
