Munyan said that in working with celebrities, he asks them to think of the people that they love or about their pets. He said that most celebrities are pleasant to photograph, but occasionally there are clock-watchers eager to be elsewhere. He recalled an unnamed model who posed for the trade publication ''Sophisticated Hair'' became so impatient that she threatened to walk out of the photo shoot. Munyan had to convince her to remain patient because she needed excellent photographs for the magazine.<ref name=kpeoples/>
