Behind the majority of cool photos there's a skilled and creative photographer, but how creative can they get? Sure, nowadays digital photo manipulation is a big part of the final image but a lot of photographers still use physical photography tricks in ways that the rest of us couldn't even come up with.
Compiled by Bored Panda, this list will certainly enlighten you about the things photographers are capable of. From teleporting people into other locations to making them levitate, these behind the scenes images prove there's a lot more to beautiful photos than first meets the eye. Scroll down to vote for your favorite ones, and if you're hungry for more ugly truth (or lies, depending on how you view this) behind photography, check out our previous lists here and here.

Pressure produces more pressure. You can't force a horse by pulling on it's lead rope. It will always win (with it's 600 kilos). Learned that lesson early enough 🙈 But i think it is a great idea to photograph them like that anyway. So different to any other horse portraits.

How else were they supposed to create that photo? Actually throw a kid around?

Seems pretty real so far. If it's about the depth of the water: he can probably use that boat on much deeper waters than he is in, right there.

Once again - my praise to the people who say this opportunity and achieved such a good result. Love the 'ingenuity' such as it is.

Everyone is beautiful in their own way and this lady is lovely and a bit wistful. The photo is tasteful and thoughtful.

These aren't a lie. They're just a behind-the-scenes of how these pictures are made.

TERRIBLE headline. This is not a reason to distrust pictures you see (well, except for the toy car). These are reasons to be impressed. These are skilled and clever people making great pictures that you or I could have made. We have exactly as much opportunity — we just don't have the talent. Applaud the talent.

Pretty lame that you guys didn't credit the photographers for these photos. A lot of these had very meticulous details and hard work behind them.
