Whenever we go through the Instagram and Facebook feeds of professional photographers, we are either left in shock or are surprised by the sheer beauty of the shots that come in front of our eyes. Those larger than life romantic poses, the prettily perked up baby bumps of pregnant women and the ‘oh so cute’ pictures of little babies always make us go weak in the knees. Now before we go on talking about how amazing the shots of professional photographers look like, we would actually like to share with you the work of a professional who has now revealed the REALITY of those picture-perfect frames.
Brazilian family and wedding photographer Gilmar Silva has come out with a series of ‘behind-the-scenes’ photos showing us what exactly goes on in the professional shoots. The project has been named LUGARxPHOTO, meaning PLACExPHOTO, and it is through this project that the 25-year-old photographer has revealed some of the tricks of his trade. Take a look at this series and be ready to change your perceptions:
The place where this photograph was snapped was certainly not like how it came out, but it is the talent of the photographer through which he made the output look so amazing. Be it the angle or the editing, everything was done perfectly!

Now we know how the environment became so pinkish around this pretty girl. It may be a trick, but when the idea did the trick, who cares?

This way the photographer made sure that neither the dog nor the child felt uncomfortable. And we thought the bond between these two was so.

This photograph looked like it must have been clicked just at the right time before the biker landed back on the ground. But actually, there were no such stunts and it was only the editing that made all the difference.

We could never imagine that this stunning shot was taken just beside a major road. The serenity of the space and the expressions on the woman’s face actually made a fool out of the spectators. But, when the lady is happy, why should anything else matter.

This couple’s picture came out perfect only when the photographers did this amount of hard work. Perfection comes not only through the latest techniques, but also through the hard work that is put in.

When the members of a family are so in love with each other, it makes proper sense that the photographer makes it all come out this beautifully.

I personally love the final product here, and actually could have never thought that it was made by merging two pictures in this beautiful manner.

When we first looked at the final product we really got the shock of our life, but after knowing that this shot was not taken as it came out, we heaved a sigh of relief.

This one too came as a relief because it became clear that the baby was not left to hang in that piece of cloth. It was just the orientation, which got changed and nothing else.

We had shown you earlier what a high-angle shot did to the picture of that couple, and here, another angle has made this woman look great in this photograph.

Or so the photographer wanted to portray! We must say these tricks do make our world look like a magical place.

Okay, who goes out wearing a white, overflowing gown knowing that it is raining? Yeah, we already knew that the rain was an artificial addition anyway.

The post-processing of photographs can really make the final product come out alive. Wait till you look at the next photo.

Who can imagine that this place actually has no signs of ice? This is what imagination and editing tools do in the art of photography.

This is another trick which worked in the favor of the subject of this photograph. Photography indeed is not just the capturing of perfect moments; it is also about creating the perfect moments by doing things before and after taking the shot.

Now that you know how exactly the professional photographers work to create those magical moments, what do you have to say? Tell us in the comments section below…
This phrase comes to our mind the moment we see this shot, but as you can see, a lot of hard work went into creating this photograph. And the hard work was from both; the subject as well as the crew of the photographer. When people believe they can do amazing things, they can actually do it and that belief creates beauty, just like this shot here.
