A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Personal Evolution – Part III

I proudly present part three in a series of entries that at a glance shows individuals with significant facial mods from the beginning of (or before) their transformation to their current state. You can click the “evolution” tag to see the whole set. If you’d like to take part, please get in touch with me along with relevant images, via either email ([email protected]) or Facebook. Enjoy, and click to zoom in!

    There are apparently far more males than females that undergo this sort of transformation given the series thus far…

    Kon A – I think there’s some truth that men are more likely to radically tattoo and pierce their faces… I’m doing my best to include more women though.

    Jon – Yes — there are some people where it’s a pretty straight-line progression, but with others there’s a lot of experimentation and back-and-forth!

    I love this series so much. I feel like by seeing a progression of people, I get to know them in some silly little way. Like I got to watch them grow.

    Didn’t know Mr. Unstoppable down sized as much as he has. He looks dignified, or maybe its the beard and the pose.

    Most of these transformations have been very extreme, and it seems that most of them have gotten facial tattoos. I find myself wondering what career each person has that allows them the freedom to pursue their transformation. As we all know, such drastic mods definitely limit one’s career choices, so I think it would be really cool to see what each person does.

    wow! i hadn’t seen a picture of swirly wanx sinatra since about his “middle” photograph, he has really undergone some radical transformation.
    i really think he looks gorgeous and seems to have similar aesthetic ideas to me.

    i am enjoying these evolution photosets so very much but i feel greedy and would love to be able to read any sort of interview/information that people would like to include. also am interested in knowing more about what year the pictures are from. basically any information would be greatly appreciated but i also understand the amount of work etc that it would add.
