Photographer Ben Von Wong recently had the opportunity to bring a dream to life, and despite a hectic schedule, he was determined to help a shy and very ill writer who had emailed his agent in the hopes that he'd consider taking some photos of her. Nicole wrote “I'd like some photos taken of me by a really good photographer while I still have some weight on me... I’d like to look beautiful or interesting. Anything but sick.” She wasn't sure he'd want to do it, and was prepared for a polite 'no', but Ben was intrigued, and two weeks later they'd organised a concept, assistants, location, hair and makeup ready for the shoot. Take a look at the video below which shows Nicole's story of her photo shoot with Ben. (Tissues recommended). You can see the final images (they're fantastic!) and read the full story on Ben's blog. And his reason for helping Nicole? "because doing something that matters makes all the difference." Inspiration and warm-fuzzies all round! Anna
