When it comes to photography, the possibilities are endless. As long as you have the right tools and the right set of skills to innovate on the go, you can create just about anything you desire.

Take Benjamin Von Wong, for example. The Montreal-based photographer was commissioned by photo-sharing platform SmugMug to capture portraits of its employees for its gym. The results? Well, they’re just proof that with the right photography skills, you can make anyone look like a pro athlete with the click of a button.

In each portrait, Von Wong is able to make SmugMug’s directors, managers and executives look like they’ve been training for CrossFit competitions their whole lives!

Believe it or not, it’s pretty easy to look like a pro athlete. All you need is $20,000 camera equipment and a rain machine.

No, this isn’t Derek Jeter — it’s a SmugMug employee who clearly likes traveling and puppies.
