With his background in engineering and a passion for social impact projects, the elaborate sets of Von Wong’s photography combine the magic of digital post-production with resourcefulness in overcoming technical obstacles. One of his completed projects, which protests the annual killing of nearly 100 million sharks, features a model anchored beneath the water’s surface as real sharks swim around her. Shark Shepherd was a wild success and generated 80,000 petition signatures to support the establishment of shark conservation areas in Malaysia. Benjamin Von Wong | vonwong.com
