Visual Artist Creates ‘Impossible Maternity Photos’ With Family in Quarantine

Quarantine photo shoots have been trending since the COVID-19 lockdowns, and one photographer opted for an escape.

Von Wong’s masterplans for the impromptu project came from his mom. Titled “Impossible Maternity Photos” Von’s blog post stated the whole thing started when she noticed that corn looked like skyscrapers. From there, her inspirations kept coming.

With his 8-month pregnant sister, her husband, and the family members posing in stills, Von would reposition their tiny cutout silhouettes based on the theme for the day. His mom would create entire landscapes out of discarded fruit, vegetable scraps, and bark as the backdrops.

Von rounded off the 5-part saga in a series of behind-the-scenes videos and the adventurous resulting photo collections posted to his social media platforms.

 

Part one featured a corn cob skyline dyed in beet juice and the expecting couple as daring tight rope walkers.
