Running With Flames by Benjamin Von Wong is a photo shoot that captures a man engulfed in real flames. Von Wong set out with one goal for his project: set a man on fire and capture it on film.
Because Von Wong didn’t know a lot about the proper way to set people on fire, he got some help from a stuntman who had set himself on fire before. Wind also became an issue during the photo shoot because they had to be careful not to burn the fire spitters. When it was all said and done, the team got some amazing shots.
Running With Flames by Benjamin Von Wong may have been a bit dangerous to create, but the results were well worth it.
