If you thought being a model was an easy gig, you’re seriously mistaken.

There seems to be more to the schmodel-world than standing around and being poked and prodded by fashion designers, as a group of pretty-faces have braved the depths of the ocean in order to get that perfect shot.

The concept was the brainchild of Von Wong, a former mining engineer turned photographer, and dragging the models to the bottom of the ocean must’ve been a pretty hard-sell to the ladies involved.

The pictures themselves are stellar, to say the least, and could easily be mistaken for a Photoshop job prior to seeing how they were actually made.
