What waves combine so that the resulting wave is bigger than the largest original wave?

This is known as superposition (this can refer to an increase or decrease in the amplitude of a wave caused by the interaction of two or more differing waves) or constructive interference (refers specifically to the increase in amplitude caused by the interaction of two or more waves).
For optimum constructive interference to occur, the waves must be perfectly in phase at all times. This means that they must have the same frequency and wavelength and the peaks and troughs of one wave coincide perfectly with the peaks and troughs of the second wave at all times.
Maximum constructive interference can occur in waves of differing frequency and wavelength, however it will only occur intermittently when the peaks and troughs happen to coincide perfectly. At other times it may vary from constructive interference (where two wave crests interact but not at their peaks) or destructive interference.

How do they photograph things to make them look bigger?
The only way that we can judge the size of an object in a photograph is to compare it to other objects in the same photograph. Therefore, you can combine two or more photographs, with different enlargements, to create the illusion that some object is larger than it really is. Or you can build small models that look like something bigger than they really are. Or you can use tricks of perspective to make something look closer than it really is.
