Stock Photo shoot

Here is another stock shoot for designpics (My "stock name" is Leah Warkentin). We did some serious scenarios but also some really fun, "out of the box" kind of shots. These images will be magazine quality once they are photoshopped. It was tough finding models who were willing to get in the box so a HUGE thank you to all my models! It was a really long 10 hours but thank you for all your help :D

This one was actually candid.. that is his Dad in the box hah

"You can't take it with you... really!!"

I think this will be me when I pass on... I can't stop working, but at least I love my job.

This was a tough one.. that is my little brother in the coffin. I did not like this scenario, but Drew kept me laughing with funny faces between the shots. I love my brother alot.

Beautiful Katie

Stock Photo shoot

I am represented by a stock company called Designpics. Stock images are used for advertisements worldwide. I still get excited when I spot one of my shots in a magazine or on the internet. We have some really exciting/different shoots coming up and I will post some of those shots in the future. These photos have not been photoshopped yet. For stock photography, it takes 30 minutes to 3 hours to process one image. Each image has to be billboard quality and "picture perfect". The difference photoshop makes is incredible. You can see some examples on my website. I know you have heard it before... but trust me, 99% of the images you see in magazines have been retouched.

This image will look entirely different when I am done with it... stay posted for the final product :D
