Their social media account is full of behind-the-scenes footage of their high-end photoshoots. They often taking daring shots, and the one in the video below is no different. It features a woman who is standing on a rooftop. She holds a bundle of red heart balloons in her hands. But soon, she lets them go… or does she? Find out what the twist is in the viral video below!

Just when it seems these balloons will get carried away by the wind, they start to return. But how is that possible? Turns out, a man was sitting nearby, fishing rod in hand, ready to bring those balloons back ASAP. The reason they do this, of course, has to do with the impact balloons have on the environment.

While letting go of balloons can feel symbolic and look beautiful, what goes up must eventually come down. And because balloons reach great heights, they often do so after exploding. As a result, “spaghetti pieces” rain down. Some of this is biodegradable, but for those that aren’t, it can take many months to break down. In the meantime, animals become injured or die from eating these shredded balloons.

So, it’s no wonder that so many people are expressing gratitude for these photographers’ considerate methods. It goes to show you don’t have to sacrifice creativity in order to be kind to the environment!
