2. People make photography Interesting
The one consistent element that makes a photograph
interesting are people. We just like to look at
ourselves or other people. This applies to trick
photography as well, whether it’ s levitation, forced
perspective, light paintings, and more. Being able to
extract the best out of people and put them in
fantastic situations, are what makes trick photography
so mentally stimulating. So here are some great ideas
for you to incorporate into your trick photography
photos to take it from good to great.

3. 1. Tell a personal story
 When you photograph people, involve something that
makes it more personal and individual. You could
include their favorite people, objects, or pets.
 You could also go the other way and include things
that they dislike on purpose.
 The idea is to have some sort of interaction that tells a
personal story, or captures a little bit of the true spirit
of the person being photographed.

4. 2. Have fun with your subjects
 Most of my favorite trick photos are those that looks
like a lot of fun. It invites the viewer to try it out for
themselves. So the key to making sure your
photographs look fun, is to simply have fun!
 Get some close friends together and tell them what
you’ re aiming to do. Allow them to play around and
experiment so you get that natural interaction and
genuine smiles.
 Nothing kills the mood and fascination of a well-
executed trick photo than a sour or gloomy face,
unless you’ re aiming for that particular mood.

5. 3. Don’ t get caught unprepared
 Ifyou’ re going to capture genuine smiles or anything
else for that matter, remember to always be ready
with the camera.
 Nothing is more frustrating than knowing a great
photo opportunity passed right in front of you when
you’ re not ready.
 Some of the best trick photographs I’ ve ever seen are
unscripted.

6. 4. Nothing wrong with getting in close
 The closer you are, the more personal a photograph
is. Don’ t be afraid to get as close as possible and clip
the people in the frame.
 After all, we’ re trying to create a mood, story, or a
connection through our pictures, not recording
everything in a scene for preservation.

7. 5. Go outdoors
 There are plenty of outstanding trick photography and
special effect shots that are done in studios.
 Being indoors afford you more control over the
environment and different variables, hence a great
result.
 Tend to pay more attention to those that are done
outdoors if presented with a gallery of indoor and
outdoor trick photos.
 It’ s like watching a great magic trick and knowing
that it would be much harder and interesting when
done outdoors.

8. 6. Catch people off-guard
 Among levitation photography enthusiasts, Natsumi
Hayashi of yowayowa camera is one of the best self-
portrait levitation photo-takers I’ ve seen.
 The beautiful photos of herself levitating in busy
streets and ordinary locations, makes her photos
unique and almost surreal. The faces of people
noticing her levitation efforts are where people derive
the most joy from her pictures.
 I just can’ t help but imagine what goes through their
head when they see a girl taking pictures of herself
jumping in weird poses in the middle of the street.

9. 7. Use a different angle
 Most of us tend to see the world from the same
perspective because we all stand upright.
 Take photos from a low angle and you will see how
different the world looks from the point of a child or
pet.
 If you’ re taking forced perspective photos, then
changing the angle of your camera can sometimes
dramatically alter the end results.

10. 8. Capture natural reactions or not
 For normal photography, you want to capture natural
emotions and reactions.
 This also works for trick photography, but I do find
that going completely in the opposite direction tend to
produce interesting results.
 Because trick photography is sometimes surprising,
using a totally out-of-place emotion or reaction
further reinforces that message.

11. 9. Pay attention to your background
 The background is as important as the subject you are
photographing.
 It should complement and not distract the eye from
the subject.
 One thing you should pay close attention to are the
colors of the background.
 Certain colors such as red, and green can trigger the
eye to look, and drag attention away from the main
subject.

12. 10. Knowledge and practice
 To improve your photos you need to keep yourself up
to date with new ideas and techniques that other
people have come up with and tried.
 Innovation comes when old ideas and new ideas get
combined and assimilated to become something new.
 Get some guide and books so you don’ t waste time
learning what other people already know. Most of
what you know should come from learning more
from Evan’ s experience , and the rest from
experimenting.

13. Imagine
Your imagination is your biggest trick photography
asset. Photograph things and people that interest you
and add your own twist into it. There are plenty of
trick photos online but people are always interested to
see more because each photographer is unique, in
terms of skill, experience, point of view, message,
and style. So keep these top 10 tips in mind when you
are trying to take the best trick photography photos
you’ ve ever taken!
