Hmm... Again I say that's complicating things a bit. An
Invisibility spell (either one) does just that - makes the target
invisible.
It doesn't cover it with images of what's on the other side.
That's Camouflage, or ruthenium. If you want an explanation with
somewhat more "academic" terms, Invisibility "erases" the target from
the light spectrum. To your eyes (and your camera's lenses too, in the
physical version), the target is no longer there.
Of course to all the other "non-sight" senses, it is still
there, and if you shoot the target through an invisible concrete wall,
you better use a big gun.
