Week 3
Von Wong
Benjamin Von Wong’s work lies at the intersection of fantasy and photography and combines everyday objects with shocking statistics. It has attracted the attention of corporations, like Starbucks, Dell, and Nike and has generated over 100 million views for causes like ocean plastics, electronic waste, and fashion pollution. Most recently, he was named one of Adweek’s 11 content branded masterminds.
He creates massive sets from scratch using recycled plastic donated by the public.
What I really like about his work is how much effort and preparation goes into one shoot. Everything has to be perfect. He puts in days of work with a massive crew of people for one photograph. His underwater photographs look so dreamy and unrealistic which makes them stand out.
Below is some of his work:
