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.
