- Dear Fans: I’m Taking A Sabbatical Though I deeply enjoy sharing and teaching workshops, I have decided to take a break from them in the coming year. Photography is something that I have passionately and tirelessly worked on over the past couple years, and it has reached the point where I need to refocus on “Why” I do photography. Recent soul-searching […]
- The Travelling Broncolor Photographer You’re a location shooter, you travel regularly, you love your off camera battery powered lights and you’re looking to figure out how to bring the most amount of gear in the least amount of bags. The bags you find are too long, too heavy, or too numerous and it’s going to cost you a fortune. […]
- I Wrapped And Delivered Myself To Australia… In A Box To Surprise This Boy. One year ago, a boy by the name of Tyler Grace left me a comment on my fan page that made me realize for the first time that as a “public figure“, I had the power to change peoples lives. – Fast forward to February of this year, I received an email from his sister […]
- GenNEXT: Von Wong partners up with Broncolor Broncolor. A name that implies the ultimate in quality, reliability, functionality, style and yes… price. The Ferrari’s and Porsche’s of flashes – Like many other photographers, I’ve always admired them from afar, dreaming that one day I’d be able to own a set… so when Broncolor approached me asking them to be one of five […]
- Creating meaning through Adventure (+ Giveaway) One of the reasons I love being “Von Wong”, is that it allows me to meet passionate individuals that are living out their dreams. Earlier this year I had the chance to document the life of an adventure photographer based out of Las Vegas by the name of Daniel Woods. He wanted me to help […]
- 2013… is that really all I did? I’ve been telling myself all week that I really had to begin focusing on writing that 2013 wrap-up blog, if not for the VonWonglings that have been loyally following me over the last couple years but for myself… Recaps are important, to take the time and figure out where you are in life, how things […]
- Take a break. It feels good. I just came back from two weeks of vacation in Orlando, Florida – I learned how to sew, juggle, eat fire, cyr wheel (kinda), create broken bones out of instamorph, build angel wings– whole and burnt, create entire costumes out of nothing more than scissor, cloth, tree bark and hot glue, and most importantly how […]
- The inspirational journey of Von Wong in 5 minutes. Quitting a job I knew that I was never going to be passionate about to embark on an epic journey was a pretty simple decision. Following one’s passion is a simple straightforward decision because the alternative is so unpleasant that following it becomes a necessity to continue surviving. It does not require courage, but conviction. […]
- The importance of inspiring Yesterday, I gave my 2nd conference of the week in Vancouver. After I reached the end of my speech on inspiration, the entire room was silent. I had gone almost an hour over the allocated time on my conference and for a microsecond I was worried that I had managed to, despite my hyperactive personality, […]
- [Diary] A tale of Benjen Stark… and a tale of Ben Von Wong It’s been 52 days of constant travelling since I last set foot in my bedroom. It’s been exhilarating, exhausting and frankly… I’ve done so much I almost feel like no time has passed at all. So what do I do the minute I set foot back home? Dive headfirst into the pile of work awaiting […]
- The Glamorous life of Ben Von Wong Friend and fellow blogger Jen Brook told me earlier today that I should really spend some time to write more about the life behind the scenes of the crazy insane character known as “Von Wong”. After much deliberation, I figured that sharing a little more about the person behind the character could be interesting to […]
- Thinking of quitting your job? Think again. Most of you know me as the perky, happy-go-lucky, eternally inspired asian kid on youtube that never sleeps. I post about the crazy places I get to visit, the ridiculously talented people I have the honour to collaborate with and the epic ideas I have running amok in my mind. And that is real, but […]
