I'm not just talking about the photo editing side of the process, although there's certainly plenty of that involved behind the scenes. No, I'm talking about the hard physical work combined with the often super-creative approaches that photographers employ to ensure that their final shot is the very best depiction of their photoshoot ideas.

Take a look at these behind the scenes pictures to see what we mean. Compiled by Bored Panda, they're sure to give the budding photographer some fresh photography ideas while providing the rest of us an enlightening glimpse into the reality of hard work, photo manipulation and Photoshop ideas that hides behind many a perfect picture.

Here I was thinking this shot was taken with an pineapple. This one really didn't need any explaining!

Wait so is the fox real or fake??? I mean it would be kinda hard to get a fox to walk right up to you right?

So the close up photo of a fox is actually a close up photo of a fox?

You can see that this is not the same picture. In the first photo, the fox is actually standing up ... In the second one, it is sitting down ...

Of course it's no the same picture. But that does not mean it's not the same person, place and animal.

minimum focal distance on this is like 1.5 meters... I think the actual photo was when the fox was slightly further back

Makes no sense. The fox portrait is wideangle but the lens is 70-200mm.
