In late May, Ballantine's Scotch whisky, production company Archer's Mark and 'hyper-real' photographer Benjamin Von Wong journeyed to Tulum, Mexico with a team of 35 to participate in a unique, experimental underwater photographic project which launches globally today. 'Ballantine's Presents Benjamin Von Wong's Underwater River' is the fourth installment in a series of collaborations between Ballantine's and unique talent from around the world who define Ballantine's mantra of 'Stay True', and whose stories are showcased in unique films featuring projects inspired by their personal history, talents and beliefs. Floating thirty metres (30m / 100ft) down in the ancient ‘Angelita’ Cenote ‘sinkhole’, is a cloud-like layer of hydrogen sulfide which separates salt and fresh water, creating a unique visual phenomenon - an ethereal, flowing ‘underwater river’. Inspired by this natural phenomena and wanting to celebrate his Chinese heritage, his beliefs and his deeply ingrained passion for experimentation, Benjamin set to work with Ballantine’s to create a single, seemingly impossible underwater image a stunning, contemporary recreation of a fading ancient tradition, the Chinese Cormorant Fisherman.
