How To Bring Dance Photography To Life By Benjamin Von Wong

Benjamin Von Wong really impresses us, every time he comes up with a concept, he executes it so well and he knows just how to talk about it so that we can all learn.

He recently had a job to create the poster for the show, Temnein. Check out a few of the shots below along with the behind the scenes video.

Also, be sure to check out the full blog post (here) that goes over developing the concept, lighting, and much more.


Von Wong Sculpts With Fire

We’ve featured his work a countless number of times. However, we haven’t seen anything like this before. Be sure to check out this wonderful production of how he takes on fire and creates some beautiful shots. He also goes over behind the scenes details on how they were done. Even better yet, the video itself was very beautifully made and presented.

How The Apple iPad Is Made

A look into the processing, people behind it, and the company itself. A very interesting watch, whether you like or even have an iPad. 

Every day, 100’s of applicants file to work in the factory. The factory is supposed to be one of the best, which draws people from all over to work. 

BTS: Powder Photography

We’ve seen those images where there’s an explosion of powder, paint or some type of makeup in a beauty shoot that looks timed so perfectly. Here’s a behind the scenes on how some of them are done with stills below. 

Don Horne is the man behind this video and the stills.

BTS: HOW of WHY - Nikon D4 Promo Video Behind The Scenes

Travel, photography, labor, and exotic locations. 

These are some of the aspect included in this behind the scenes video, “HOW of WHY”. 

“WHY” is the Nikon D4 promo video. This is the behind the scenes to how it was made. 

Not only was this fun to watch, it shows exactly what goes on behind a huge production. 

So much packing, and re-packing! Not to mention the exhausting travel. 

Do not miss this video! The helicopter scene was rather epic as well. 

Thanks to Alex for the find!

Von Wong: Playing with Fire

My friend Benjamin is so talented, that anyone near him just self combusts. It’s a true story, that is exactly what happened when I went to go meet him last year. 

Thankfully with Photoshop, they were able to put me together again. 

But seriously

This video is a behind the scenes look at the process he used to set him on fire.

The final piece is also fantastic! Be sure to also check out his site at
