The Boyfriends Behind That Perfect Instagram Travel Picture

Have you ever looked at an influencer's seemingly perfect beach photo and wondered how they captured such a flattering angle? Or better yet, who took the photo for them and how?

You don't need a professional photographer when you're traveling with a boyfriend. At least not these ones. They've put their heart and soul into it and even risked their lives for these photos.

Step one of taking a great picture is gaining fluidity in your movement so that you can keep snapping pictures from every possible angle until something sticks. Even if the background is just a street under construction and the monument isn't in the frame at all.

Framing can work magic! If you're looking to fool all your friends that you were on a plane, a toilet seat makes for a great plane window substitute. Just please make sure that it's thoroughly cleansed first.

To impress with travel pictures, sometimes all you need is to travel 2 feet to the backyard, your daughter's umbrella, your dad to hold it, a kiddie pool, and your boyfriend to get in it with you. Then get creative!

That photographer's back is so flat you could place a full of glass of water on it and not a single drop would spill over. If that's not dedication, then I don't know what is!

Not only is this man risking his life to capture this picture, but the way he is holding himself up is incredibly impressive. Can you imagine the strength required to hold yourself up horizontally against gravity with just one arm like that? Now THAT deserves a photo.

We get it, the building is tall and he needs to lower the camera to be able to get more of it in the frame. However, his back is for sure going to be sore later. Hopefully he gets rewarded in back massages.

Now this is impressive. This photo just proves that you really don't need a fancy landmark behind you to do the work. Just go to the nearest grocery store, get as close as possible to some flowers, and work the editing magic later.

Whether this angle actually does capture a better photo is not the point. Getting in the weirdest contortionist position to snap the photo will both impress the person you're taking it for and make you look like a pro.

This is like an upgraded selfie stick, except it goes on for miles vertically. How do you even tell what the camera is pointing at, at that point? Almost guaranteed, 99% of the pictures were of just the water.

It's not fair that Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend is the only one to get all the attention just because she is a model for a living. If anything, that makes her trustworthy enough to know how to capture a picture or two. Although, he doesn't look very impressed...

Together, with love, these two can overcome anything, and no virus is coming between them and a curated Instagram feed. On the bright side, a virus outbreak means a very empty square that's usually filled with tourists. When are you ever going to get that photo opportunity again?
