Von Wong: Fairy Tale Maternity Photo-Shoot

One of our favourite photographers and colleague Benjamin Von Wong recently published a behind the scenes video of a unique project he completed of a very unusual maternity photo-shoot with a fairy tale- like atmosphere.

According to Von Wong the current project began About a year ago when he flew over to help make a viral video to attempt to save a (then) 4 year old little girl called Eliza O’Neill, suffering from a terminal degenerative brain disease called Sanfillipo Syndrome. Von Wong donated a photoshoot to the project which was “purchased” by no other than a fellow German photographer Eva Creel. This is more or less how Von Wong ended up in Germany, doing his first ever maternity photoshoot for a lady he met on the internet.

Shot in Germany with the help of local community in Kaiserslautern where Creel lives, you can see the rural German landscape and quite a few local animals which gives the pictures a very unique atmosphere, very close to a fairy tale.

You can read more on this beautiful project on Von Wong’s website.
