Behind every great picture there’s a talented and creative photographer, but just how creative they sometimes get is rarely ever seen unless there’s another photographer on hand ready to capture the action.
It’s relatively easy to overlook the hard work that photographers put into taking their photos due to the assumption that digital editing in post has made achieving great photos a lot easier, but the truth is that’s only a fraction of what makes a great photo. As these behind the scenes photos prove, there’s a lot more than first meets the eye.
