Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
In the past, when the technical staff were often entirely male, I've seen secretaries pulled in to perform photographic duty.

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
I remember a photo in an old Inmac catalogue where the model was supposedly testing some PCB with a logic probe. Problem was that the logic probe was being held upside down so that the LEDs were not visible. And I know said model of logic probe did not have a beeper as well.

The attached is a screen shot from Banksy's video about the self destructing girl and balloon print.

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
My mother in law used to drink tea straight from the pot and wash dishes in boiling water. I think women just have skin with a higher temperature rating.

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
At least both cases only risk contaminating cheap soldering irons with burnt skin.
It could also show that Metcal put the handle in the right instinctive place. David

She's got safety glasses, but people nearby will need ear defenders.

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
And how to tell if the photographer and/or photo shoot director has ever used a soldering iron..

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
Perhaps it was Superwoman in that picture? She would have no trouble holding a soldering iron by the tip.
Or was it an illustration from NVQ Level 1 Electronic Assembly, which teaches students which end of the soldering iron to hold? There was rumoured to be an analogous course for plumbers, where the soldering iron is replaced by a blowtorch. |

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
It's not just holding the iron in the wrong place:
The iron looks to be a crude ancient high-power non-temperature-regulated monstrosity, not something you'd ever be using on a modern PCB. She's also seemingly 'soldering' on the component-side not the trace-side. Oh well. |

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
She's not the only one. Most of these pictures are stock images taken by people who had no idea about soldering.

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
Can't believe you're being so picky Graham.
That lady's taken the trouble to put matching safety specs on, and has even taken her hard drive apart to give it a jolly good going over with Mr Sheen. If only someone had told her that she needed to switch the soldering station on, though. Seriously, this kind of thing does rather reinforce gender stereotypes. Nick. |

Any anti static precautions as well?

Re: How to tell if they use a model for photo shoots,
Just imagine the advertising copywriters...
"Our skilled and attentive workforce is ready for your prototype and production work" Now we just need a couple of pictures, yeah, they should do. Ought to increase business no end. David

This chap was employed purely on his soldering skills.
