Don’t we love those flawless, immaculate pictures on Facebook and Instagram? Haven’t we all craved for such moments where a creative and genius photographer would help us show a different and unexplored side of us? Perhaps, we overlooked something called ‘digital manipulation’ that’s characteristic of most final images. However, it can’t be denied that most shutterbugs use extensive measures that laymen like us wouldn’t even think of. Whether teleporting into the most scenic locations or showing us sans blemishes, this is a worthy read about what’s exactly brewing behind the scenes. And to satiate the thirst of those who love to explore the hidden truth, here are some pictures and reasons why you should delve into a larger world.
The Misty Effect
We love this picture-perfect moment! And of course, there are reasons. Who would not want a wedding photo like this, all dreamy and magical? But behind this misty effect is a photographer’s assistant who uses his mouth very creatively, while his co-worker captures the unique moment. A bit less magical behind the scenes but we must applaud the ingenuity.
Miniature Wonders
Love cars? Instead of fretting over not owning some of the rarest ones, how about creating a slight illusion? This picture teaches us how to use angles and perspective to make some (really high-quality) toy cars seem as real as the house behind them, with the assistance of a table and a piece of cardboard to simulate the road. And as someone once said, ‘it’s not the size that counts, it’s how you use it’.
Scenic Beauty
Who said that you need to travel to exotic locations to snap the perfect picture? An overgrown sidewalk, a pretty girl, and the right camera angle are all a clever photographer needs to take a picture of a beauty in a serene meadow. Take notes and perhaps you too can take pictures of your loved ones hiking through the forest in the park down the street or even among the potted plants on the balcony!
