Women tied to shipwreck 75 feet below the see

There are some people who love to push the creative edge, I admire anyone that can take a subject like photography and take it to the next level.Photographer Benjamin Von Wong did just that when he left the studio and took to the coast of Bali to take these utterly mind blowing and eerily haunting images of models over 25m underwater in a sunken shipwreck. In his images, the models transform from simple free divers to enchanting mermaids wearing dresses by Bali-based designer Ali Charisma.
The hauting photos are like nothing I've seen before and the flow of the fabric in the currents and gloomy murkiness of the wreck make for a fantastic contrast.

Von Wong relied on natural light and camera strobes to photograph the models who were each tied to the shipwreck to hold them in place while the shoot was taking place, emergency divers were on hand for safety but all the models were also freedivers and therefore could hold their breath for up to 4 mins at a time.

The maidens of the wreck, underwater currents create dreamy shapes with the dresses fabric.

Safety divers were on hand to make sure oxygen was on hand for the models to breathe.

natural light and camera strobes were the only sources of lighting for the shoot.

Each of the models had to be tied in place due to the shifting currents.
