Photographer reveals hilarious secret to his dramatic water droplet backgrounds

Photographers can spend hours, days, even months preparing for the perfect shot, often leaving us mesmerised by how they achieved it.

Luckily a Japanese photographer, infamous for water droplet backgrounds, has let us in on his secret and released behind-the-scenes footage of his recent photoshoot with cosplayer Saki Miyamoto.

His method requires no Photoshop skills at all and instead involves three stages.

1. Run

The photographer, who goes by the username Snow yuki, is so dedicated to his craft that he throws himself in a pool, fully-clothed, to achieve maximum splash.

He received such an enthusiastic response to his behind-the-scenes pictures, he also released a video on his Twitter account.

Just look at that technique. Here it is in slo-mo...

Safe to say our holiday photos won't ever look the same again.
