Creative photography lets artists bring the images they have in their minds to life. There is nothing more enjoyable than looking back at the professional photos of the meaningful moments that also have a bit of magic to them. But behind every perfect picture, there is backstage and a photographer hard at work.

Gilmar Silva is a Brazilian photographer from the city of Cascavel, Ceará, who has achieved great success on his social media by showing the making-of of his photos. In comparison, we can see the location of where the photos were taken and how they look after editing.

By sharing his work on Instagram, Gilmar shows that the work of a photographer is not easy. Besides organizing, preparing props, photographing, and editing, he sometimes has to lie on the muddy floor. "The fact that I show everything is more to motivate the people who are now beginning to continue studying, dedicating themselves." says the photographer to Bored Panda.

Scroll down and see his creative process for yourself!

    Beautiful. Anytime I see a pic like this though I envision the photographer accidentally dropping his camera on the person. It's terrible to think that, but yea.....

    No, it's curly in the original photo. The angle, lighting, and focus make it look straighter than it is. If you look closely, you can see the texture of the hair.

    I remeber at school in responsible parenting class (middle school) each of us had to carry an egg around for a week. It was to teach us the responsibility it is to care for a child. An egg was used because it's fragile and if you don't treat it gently it can crack or break. The teacher would make a mark or stamp the egg at the begging of the week so you wouldn't cheat and switch your egg for a fresh one.

    i read a book called serenity (its a series) And she just threw hers away and the teacher gave her a new one, at the end of the book she finds a baby in a trash can and asks "Who would throw a baby away?" :/

    I actually think the photo looks better the other way round, so the pic in the bubble is upside down. Anyone agree?
