30+ Photos That Prove You Should Never Believe What You See on Social Media

You appreciate the picture, even more, when you realize that this great photographer not only uses toy cars but applies clever photography tricks to make parts of the real world blend in with the tiny set props.

I this picture we see that you don’t necessarily need that one perfect shot. With this clever hand steamer technique, you can take multiple shots and choose the best one later.

As a matter of fact, it only adds more value to the picture. This picture is a perfect example of what type of craftsmanship strobe light photography is. We salute the photographer and think that this picture is neer perfect!

We bet that the caption of this picture on Instagram was something along the lines of “That beach life”. This picture is also a great reminder that not everything you see on social media is true as it might seem.

Another lesson we can take away from “behind the scene” is that you don’t need a high-quality waterproof camera housing to take great shots in the water. A simple clear plastic bag with some strong rubber bands might just do the trick.

The clever positioning of the figures against a background light and some Photoshop retouch is this result. Next time you see some graphic art, remember, photography might just be the underlying support to all of it.

An Instagram black and white filter, a concrete ATM booth, no chair, and just a make-believe sophisticated look into the distance can give you a great shot! We forgot to mention, a watch, you’ll need a watch to make it look even fancier.

But actually it’s just a friend exhaling some sort of smoke and blowing it with what looks to be a portable electric fan. We do want to point out that the location of the photoshoot is one beautiful forest!

Instead of doing just that, the creative photographer put two simple wooden frames and set the focus on them rather than the couple. This way your attention is really drawn to the couple even though they are blurred in the picture. Talk about creativity.

Nevertheless, the portrait shot came out so great that it can easily have fooled us into thinking that this is in the middle of a snowy night. We love how the girl is casually having a phone conversation with her hands busy operating the snow machine.

Well if you can’t travel to make that photoshoot because of all the restrictions 2020 has brought us, don’t worry! All you really need is a talented photographer and a poster. But all jokes aside, this is truly a masterful work by the photographer that had us fooled.

All you need is just a simple projector, a tripod, a camera and you can take this great picture at home whenever you feel like it. The best part is that your wardrobe is just a step away for you to take the shots in multiple outfits.

The result speaks for itself. One can easily think that this was taken while the horse is in mid-air looking down into a camera lens giving it the “blue steel look”. But the reality is way further from that, it looks like the horse doesn’t even trust that glass let alone jump over it.

But it’s there is no river and there is no mountain. This is all pure art and imagination of one man. This picture looks so real even the tiny boat has a reflection!

But then when you glance at the “the making off” picture, you can only hear the brush stroke painting water that looks so real in the first picture. We assume the rain on the picture is from that spray bottle on the right.

Hey, look at the left bottom corner of the picture! It’s that spray bottle again making the rain! Even still got the blue water paint on it. The plastic bush is cleverly placed in the distance from the cave giving it an even more realistic look in the picture.

The level of detail on this picture is really great, the gas tank even has the “Ducati” on it. If you pay attention to the background rock, it actually looks like the photographer reused the same materials used to make the grey plasticine cave.

We kid and joke around about these pictures but make no mistake, we think the photographer is a true genius. Not only that he has an exceptional talent for photography he also has it for making those miniature sets.

Well, this cabin is tiny and the snow is sugar powder! But this photo is nothing short of amazing. The photographer has yet again delivered a masterpiece that looks just like real life.

This photographer really cleverly made this picture have that deep cold water effect. Just by wrapping the navy blue paper around the water tank and placing a spot lite above the toy made the trick!

We love how creative the photographer got with the clothing and the van as well. Both the van and the clothing are all white and have a logo of a waxing crescent moon.

The photographer even still has his paper strap on from the club he visited last night. We also wonder how many times the kid had to rise above the water for some air before they landed the great picture…

Now at the first glance, you might think that the hand holding the rose is wearing a black rubber glove. But look again, it’s painted! But of course, the best part is the background, it’s just a simple black cloth. This once again shows us that you don’t need a fancy studio to make killer pictures.

You just need a purple red blue white hybrid LED lamp. We were gonna say you also need a black backdrop on the right side but it’s actually a black door with a golden knob.

The Aladdin-looking lamp adds so much to the picture that you wonder if the photographer was going for the Arabian Nights look on purpose? The text inside would never be visible if it was not for that makeup lamp positioned right above the paper roll.

But there is no smoke machine or a studio, just pure creativity of the photographer. Tear up a pillow, place the lighting correctly and you have a great picture! We bet it was a sucker cleaning up all that polyester fluff.

You almost get a feel of that breezy cold moist sea air just by looking at this picture. But it’s just baby powder that the photographer sprinkled all over the portable table.

Next time you want to take a cool picture with rainbow colors in the background just drive down to your local Home Depot and go to the paint section. The color gallery is what you want to look for.

We bet there is a ton of great spots in the home improvement store that can produce cool photos like this on. Who knew you can use such a place as a studio!

Just like with all of the pictures listed this one was created with creativity when it was made. If you look closely, on the floor of the behind the scene picture there is a phone. The yellow light effect is just a flashlight from the phone!

This whole photo is one candid moment! The photographer has such a genuine smile with a look of amusement from the fox. Speaking of amusement look, look at the way the fox is smelling and staring at the lens!

But there is no lava current or Mount Doom for that matter. We are not sure what is more impressive here, the picture or the way the set was made.

When you look at this picture you would think this was taken in the early morning when there still no tourists around. But who could have guessed that there is a crowd of people right next to the couple? This is what angle perspective is all about.

But the end result is elegance. Just look at that perfectly positioned Versace perfume bottle making those ripples in the water! And that Medusa logo staring right at you with the reflection in the water. This is one classy picture if you ask us.

The candle glass and the pines add so much coziness. You can almost smell the dry anise flower and the cinnamon in this picture. And the condensed milk on the edge of the fork… Just pure yummy looking picture!

But this photographer made just that. The angle he chose to take the picture from is just perfect. It cut out half of the surroundings that made the setup look horrible and produced this beauty.

The water drops even appear to be the same shape as the colorful candy itself. If you love Skittles, you should be craving them right about now just by looking at this picture.

Just look at all of that colored cotton suspended from the top. Hanging up all of that must of been one tidiest task. But the result is really beautiful. We salute the photographer for the patience and creativity it took to make this set.
