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.

Killer Priest Photo Shoot

I like these pictures of Mike Manson, taken by Lane Jensen from Dragon FX Kingsway in Edmonton (horn implants by Phish). Anyway, thanks again everyone for being patient with me over the last week… I have loads of new and old stuff for you over the next while.

Enjoy this big batch posted for your weekend enjoyment!

    Mike was perfect for the shoot. I wanted to photograph him for an upcoming book I am putting together on the Modified people I know. The funny thing about the photos is that he is actually the nicest guy I know. He’d give you the shirt of his back, just don’t cross him because he never forgets.

    The angle on that shotgun in the first pic is great! It’s so exaggerated.

    Why is it that when people pose for pictures with guns they never follow the basic rules of firearm safety?

    ^^ Because then you’d never get a decent down the barrel picture.

    I understand and can almost tolerate that, but does he also need to have his booger hook on the bang switch?

    The funny thing about Mike being in a priest get up is that he’s actually an ordained Reverend! haha..

    If you know your guns than you will see that the chamber is open because the pump is at half cock. If their was a danger it would be with the chamber closed with the pump action forward and a shell in the chamber. Gun safety was followed and the chamber was checked more than once before I decided to get in front of the gun.

    Oh, so it is. Sorry I was distracted by the finger on the trigger thing as I’ve had some close calls with people who have the bad habit of fingering the trigger. It’s good to know that safety was observed.

    Even still, when I took hunter safety it was, “Don’t ever point the gun at anything you don’t want to shoot, even if it’s not cocked or loaded.” That being said I had similar shots taken for my senior pictures.

    haha, Very true. I understand the point you are getting to and it is very valid. Kids don’t replicate this at home.
