From Left: Von Wong, mom, dad, brother-in-law and pregnant sister. The creative family put their heads together and came up with a fun activity they could all get involved with. These are maternity memories that will never be forgotten. Source: VonWong.com Step 1: Capture silhouettes by shooting against a white background. My mom was in charge of experimenting with fruits and vegetables. In this case, she picked the inside of Pomegranates!
The reflections in the background were created with a massive flower vase almost as tall as my mom. Source: VonWong.com Step 2: Edit, print, and cut out the silhouettes by hand. The little silhouettes were stuck onto thin pieces of wire. We used scraps of wood that my mom found while walking in the park. We then added a couple fly swatters to help add texture and color to our cell phone flashlights. Simple pieces of bark picked up from the floor during a walk in the park.

The secret is to always find some material to shine the light through. In this case, an old curtain we had lying around.
By playing with the camera’s white balance, we were able to accentuate bring out different colors without the help of any colored gels.

She used aluminum foil to create a reflection inside of a takeout lid she had hoarded for years. From there, we combined it with some incense she had lying around. The final touch was to use a small translucent orange bag to create the sunset! Source: VonWong.com
