<p>An image creation device capable of creating a standby image without damaging the visibility of the standby image. A foreground image generation unit (109) reads out standby foreground information from a foreground information storage unit (111) and generates foreground image information; an image synthesis unit (103) synthesizes captured image information generated by an image information generation unit (101) with the foreground image information generated by the foreground image generation unit (109), in accordance with a standby foreground display position corresponding to the standby foreground information stored in the foreground information storage unit (111); and a display unit (105) displays a synthesis image synthesized by the image synthesis unit (103).</p>
