If you want ideas for getting creative with portrait photography while on a shoestring budget, check out the work of the Mexican photographer Omahi. In addition to sharing his imaginative work, Omahi also shows behind-the-scenes photos of how they’re made.

His photos feature a wide range of styles creative using mostly ordinary things you may have sitting around at home.

Live in a warm place but want to shoot a winter portrait? Just make it snow.

Don’t have the budget to travel to sane dunes? A photo on a TV can help.
