Behind the Scenes of Instagram’s Most Elaborate Photography

Even perfection needs a little retouching sometimes. Sometimes it takes a team of assistants, professional lighting and a studio of props just to make one gorgeous photo.

These Instagram models and influencers shared their behind-the-scenes photos, revealing how they create their masterpieces…

Her Beauty Flowed Out of Frame

Kihmberlie is so gorgeous that not even a frame can contain her beauty. That’s why in this photo, it seems as though her black dress is flowing out of the picture frame.

She Had to Crawl Into Hole in a Wall

To create the effect, Kihmberlie needed a frame, a flowing sheet to mimic her black dress flowing out of it, and of course, a hole in the wall she could crawl into to make it seem like she was a 2D photo inside the frame. It took 4 or 5 edits to get it to look just right.

She Was a Rose Surrounded by Roses

She looks so elegant in her pink dress with a column of white light and hundreds of roses in the background and on the floor. But the behind-the-scenes concept wasn’t quite as pretty or easy.

It Took Hours to Poke Roses into Foam Boards

Kihmberlie spent hours poking roses into foam boards only to discover that she didn’t have enough flowers to fill up both boards. So, she cut the top off of the one board. Then she set both of the pieces up against some chairs and left the rest of the flowers on the floor.

And to make herself short enough to fit into the set, she had to do lunges under her dress.
