Supernatural: Behind the Scenes of EW's Cover Shoot

We asked the Supernatural actors to read an older version of EW in one of the set-ups that eventually led to the most meta photo of the entire shoot. Check out the end result here.

The cover shoot took place at a park about five minutes from the set in Vancouver. The photographer, Matthias Clamer, stood on a ladder in order to get the shot that made our Fall TV Preview cover.

Clamer then positioned himself on the ground to get the shot of Ackles and Padalecki leaning on the Impala.

For those of you wondering, this is Baby One, otherwise known as the one that Jensen Ackles will get when the show's over.

The engine that has taken the Winchester brothers all over the country.

Believe it or not, Mark Sheppard is in this shot. He's just blocked by Padalecki. The original idea for this shot was for Ackles to cut the pie with the demon knife. What it became ... was this.

Photographed in the Men of Letters bunker, the actors had some fun with their faux beverages, which resulted in this shot.
