Lights
Lights can turn a very ordinary image into something absolutely surreal.
You can use almost any sort of lights.
Christmas lights are perfect for creating something special.
Sparklers
Sparklers are another way to create an unreal effect.
Shadow
Cardboard, scissors, and imagination — that’s all you need to create something very different.
Smoke
You will need incense sticks, a lighter, black paper, and a lamp. Place the incense stick in front of the paper, and position the lamp so that the light is pointing right on the tip of the stick. You can get even more interesting results with a flash and colored filters.
Glass tank
Use a fish tank to get underwater images.
A ball with water splash
Black paper, a flashlight, a tripod, an assistant, and lots of patience are all you need to create this amazing photo. Apart from the camera, of course.

You can get different bokeh effects by cutting a small hole in any shape and covering the camera with it.

This is a simple trick for a sci-fi image.
Sometimes the model or the photographer has to get into an uncomfortable place or position for the perfect shot. But it is totally worth it.
Combining a few photos
It is easier than it may seem. It just requires some patience and imagination. Take a few photos, and then combine them using Paint or Photoshop.
Soft background
A cloth and a box will help to create a picture with a smooth and even background.
