We see beautiful photos on Instagram everyday, and most of them look like they’ve been shot on elaborate sets with an entire team of professionals. But that is not always the case.
LA-based photographer Geo Leon proves that sometimes all you need is a keen imagination and some Photoshop magic to create stunning images that turn heads. He captures his subjects in everyday locations using interesting photography techniques, clever lighting, and relevant props. Most of the time he is assisted by his wife Michelle or his friend Chris. The shoots last around 1-2 hours.
Geo uses Photoshop for editing and retouching. He spends around 1.5 to 3 hours per image, and turns the raw photo into a stunning final composite. He showcases the BTS images and the final images side-by-side, and the results are hard to believe in most cases. Check out some of his work below.
