This is going to be a stupid question (but I'd really like to know!)

How do these Kickstarter projects make such quality "model" photos showcasing their project (e.g. the guy dancing)? Are these just skillfully customized stock photos? If not, has anyone had success with outsourcing/hiring someone to make these (such as for an iPhone app)? I'd love to spruce up my screenshots...

Hi, I'm the project creator of the Audman and I personally took all the shots and video. I had an Audman prototype with me and saw a crazy tap dancing guy on Market St. and just went up to him and asked if he'd dance around with it and he did. I also came across the GetAround guys with a Tesla Roadster and asked if I could have my friend sit in it and get some photos and they were cool. So long story short. The best way to spruce up your screenshots is to just get out there with a camera and and try out interesting things and ask people if you can take their photos. After that, use Photoshop or any other photo editing package to color balance crop and apply any effects to make the image pop and I'm sure you'll get some really great imagery. -Dean

That is incredibly cool and "just getting out there" shows the true spirit of entrepreneurship. Thanks for the response + inspiration! You just got my 10 bucks. =)
