![]() ![]() How did you get involved in this project to bring awareness to plastic pollution?Ī little haphazardly, if I am to be completely honest. It has become a lot less about the photography but more about the mission to get these photographs. I’m not exactly sure when it “became a passion” for me. In some ways, I think I was a lot more passionate about photography in the beginning than I am today. This was while I was working in a mine in Winnemucca, Nevada, and I figured that if I didn’t find a new hobby soon then I would go crazy. I started photography in 2007 after a girl broke up with me. ![]() Your work is so beautiful and unique! How did you get started in photography and when did you know it was a passion for you? We had the chance to catch up with Benjamin and hear about how he became a photographer, how this project came to be, and why it’s so important to him. One of Benjamin Von Wong’s most recent projects that caught our eye was a piece that highlighted the problem of plastic pollution in the ocean, and we were happy to face mount his photo “Plastic Beach” on TruLife® Acrylic. They are an impactful combination of artistic style and technical abilities which calls attention to real-life issues. There’s no doubt that his images are evocative and spectacular. Among his many amazing photographic accomplishments, Benjamin Von Wong has photographed models with sharks underwater in Fiji and an adventurous quadriplegic mom hanging off the side of a cliff in Australia.
