Everyday people as superheroes hanging off skyscrapers (really)

mystique


Benjamin Von Wong, the man behind "everyday people photographed as 'Super Athletes,'" has since photographed everyday people dressed as superheroes actually on the edge of skyscrapers. Behind-the-scenes video below.

From his site, where he shows how he did the shoots:

As we get older, we stop dreaming. We stop believing that anything is possible because we've seen too much of what isn't. And that is why I wanted to photograph ordinary people as superheroes — so that they could see themselves as they had once dreamed.


I wanted to capture the fearlessness of superheroes – without a green screen or cheap special effects.


The simplest way to make that happen was to place them on the edge of certain death.
