How does he do it? (Picture: snowfairy88/Twitter)

Sometimes, the explanation is simpler than you think.

The Japanese photographer behind cosplay photography account @snowfairy88 has revealed what goes into creating the perfect water droplet background for his shots and, while it’s not the most sophisticated of techniques, it certainly gets the job done.

The photographer shared some behind-the-scenes photos of his poolside shoot with Japanese cosplayer Saki Miyamoto on Twitter last week and it seems he really throws himself into getting the perfect photo.

As in, he literally throws himself in. He does a giant belly flop behind the model to create maximum spray just as the camera goes off.




Here he is preparing for his dive.

Moving to horizontal for maximum splash.

It’s 10s across the board from us. Perfect execution.

And here’s the dramatic final shot.

People were so inspired by his work that he later tweeted out a video showing exactly how it’s done.

Check out the long run up.

So graceful

(Note, we’ve slowed this down for dramatic effect).

As you can so obviously see, he’s used his signature belly flop technique before.

That’s it. We’re taking all our holiday photos like this from now on.

The Instagram boyfriend’s going to be busy.
