30 People Reveal How Their Photo Setup Looked Vs. The Result It Produced
You probably know that feeling when, scrolling through the Insta world, you start wondering how on earth some of the pictures are self-made. From glossy selfies to elaborate compositions, some of the shots look so good they would better fit the cover of a fashion magazine.
But it turns out, we don’t see much of the real deal that’s going on behind every picture. And trust me, there’s a whole lot to uncover.
Luckily, influencers are now sharing their “The Setup and The Shot” images side by side so we can get an idea of how much creativity, skill, and savviness it takes to make a single drop-dead gorgeous image. Looks can be deceiving, they say, so never judge a pic before seeing its backstage.

It's too muted for me. I'd like it if he was lit like the "set up" shot. My son has very dark skin and I spend a lot of time trying to pull him out of the background. I want to see him clearly.

Me neither, doesn't do anything for me, I'm a keen photog, but of beautiful nature, not 'influencers'.
