Through caves and libraries: a BTS look at Von Wong’s photo shoot roadtrip through Europe

 

 

Benjamin Von Wong enjoys nothing more than a challenge. Whether it’s making the most of a point-and-shoot or figuring out how best to capture an elaborate setup of costumes and locations, Von Wong does whatever it takes to get the shot.

This particular video documents just that as it shows a behind-the-scenes look of two photo shoots he did at the request of one of his followers. The specifics of the shots were vague with the requirements being to make the shots ’exciting, crazy and extravagant’ – Von Wong’s specialty.

Two final locations were chosen: the Stift Admont Library and an incredible, mysterious cave. After gathering up the talent and equipment required, him and his team headed off to get the shoots underway.

As the three minute behind-the-scenes video highlights, the situations were far from ideal, with weather being an issue in the cave and lighting being slightly problematic in the library. Despite the adverse conditions though, Von Wong and his team got the job done, leaving with an incredible collection of images that truly showcase the beauty of the locations and models.
