Seize The Moment – A Funny Lifestyle Stock Photography Story
| by JP Danko | blurMEDIA Photography | Toronto Lifestyle Stock Photography |
Ever wondered how professional lifestyle stock photographers get those amazing photographs of impossibly perfect misty cottage lakes in northern Canada?
Well, in this week’s column at DIYPhotography.net, I tell my funny lifestyle stock photography story about just such a photo. It involves mystery cottage booze, cranky lifestyle models, some natural light stock photography pre-planning and quick thinking and coffee…lots of coffee.
Perfect, misty lakes don’t wait around for lazy ass hung-over photographers to get their shit together.
The first thing I needed (besides my camera of course) was a model.
Luckily, she was just going back to sleep beside me.
So I (gently) elbowed her in the head, and said something along the lines of:
“HEY! – You have to get up and model for me down at the lake!!!”
