Image Studios is proud to have been a part of the recent Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which took place here in Northeast Wisconsin. We welcomed the opportunity to donate services that would capture the progression of building a new home for the Arboleda family. We will all look forward to when the episode airs this fall, September 26th. Check out Lexington Homes.
The U.S. Oil Open raised an all-time high from the one day golf outing of $2,217,800, funds earmarked for the Fund For Basic Needs. In the 25-year history of the U.S. Oil Open, $12.6 million has been raised to fight the root causes of poverty through Northeast Wisconsin; dollars are granted to non-profit organizations through community foundations in Green Bay, Oshkosh and the Fox Valley. All of us at Image Studios are proud to be a part of their quarter century of giving by creating this video, with Mary Schmidt as the producer. Kudos to DP Michael Leschisin and Editor Aaron Randerson as well!
There are times you have to be willing to lay down and take a few shots in the face, to get the shot. This is exactly what Michael Leschisin did for two weeks in Atlanta while shooting for Briggs & Stratton. We selected Atlanta Georgia as our destination for shooting, not only because they have an earlier Spring than we do here in Wisconsin, but because of their climate, and need for outdoor cleaning. AD Mary Jo Kruger with Monarch Creative is shown above in this “behind the scene” shot, getting a better view as she leans over Michael. Below, is a capture from that series.
Film & Video Producer, Brandon Dziatkewich has joined Image Studios! Brandon is a graduate of the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and he brings with him great experience having worked on a number of award winning commercials and motion pictures. In 2006, Brandon moved to Northeast Wisconsin and continued to work in film/video production, including Michael Mann’s Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp. We are all very excited to have him lead our film and video productions at Image Studios.
Occasionally we’re asked about our stock photography at Image Studios. You’ll find our stock photography on stock photo sites like Getty, Uppercut, Veer, Punchstock, Corbis and Juniperimages. While operating for nearly 45 years as a commercial photography studio we’ve shot everywhere from foundries to aircraft carriers and everything from lawn mowers to fine jewelry, however, our food photography is quite popular on these stock photo sites.
Some days at Image are a little less glamorous than others, but the opportunities and variety of what we shoot, and the interesting people we meet are hard to beat. Michael Leschisin is seen here shooting a corporate video for United Rentals in Montreal.
Image Studios Photographer Glen Hartjes and Pro Angler Dean Rojas
Yamaha Outboard Motors has been a valued customer of Image Studios for over 20 years and Glen Hartjes recently had the opportunity to photograph the Yamaha Pro Anglers. Check out the new www.yamaha-motor.com website and all their pros. Dean Rojas has competed as a Yamaha Pro Angler for 12 years and holds world fishing records. While Glen has been shooting the outboard motors for many years, having the opportunity to meet and photograph the Yamaha Pro Anglers that power the high performance engines was a fun experience. It’s not every day you get to hear real fish tales from the Pros. Check out the website to see what’s creating all the buzz at Yamaha !
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley “Be Great” video was written and produced by Mary Schmidt of Schmidt Communicates. Director of Photography, Michael Leschisin, Editor, Vince Schiebel, and 3D animation Bob Ulrich.
“The equation is fairly simple: Children in Need + Growing Youth Organization + Generous & Talented Company = Brighter Futures for our Youth. Image Studios’ generous contribution of an amazingly well-done and heart warming video as part of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ BE GREAT Campaign gives voice to the growing needs of our communities’ young people and clearly conveys how the Club brings hope and opportunity into thousands of young lives each year. Image Studios is not only great at what they do, they care about people. We’re proud to call them a partner and so very grateful for helping us do what we could not do on our own.”

Recently we rented one of our studios to Tony Mata of Meridian Studios. Tony was looking for a large Green Screen Sound Stage to shoot a music video for Barlow Girl. Having the Meridian crew in our studio was a great experience, and great to see their professionalism and talent at work.
Meridian Studios found a number of conveniences shooting at Image, from driving their production truck into our studio for unloading equipment, to the use of our dressing rooms and full service kitchen. Renting additional equipment was also convenient.
“Everyone at Image was so great to work with. They made it so easy for us to shoot there. I’ll look forward to another opportunity and I’m glad we finally had a chance to collaborate.” Director of Photography, Tony Mata, Meridian Studios.
Producer, Michael Sajbel and Director of Photography, Tony Mata
The Cannon 5D Mark II was used for the video
