If the lightning is good enough, you can use certain gestures to create illusions between the main subjects and background elements. However, you’ll need a good photographer on this one, because only he can direct you to create the perfect picture!

Much like the first trick you learnt, this one also involves illusions created by the main object vs. the background. What many people don’t usually do, though, is to use an object as the main element of the photo while they place themselves in the background. Go ahead and try it!

In order to make this kind of photo, you camera’s self-timer will be your best friend. Of course, you have to do a few test shots at first, but it’ll be worth it – and you’ll have some fun with your loved one too!

In the end, it’s all about keeping your eyes wide open and train your imagination to notice what few other people do. This is what turns your photos into magic!
