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.

    There’s some higher rez and more shots on my IAM page and I’ll post up some of the procedural pics once IAM comes back up. The photo shoot was part of a multimedia project for an art gallery showing. We did posed shots (like these), posed video, documentary style video of the procedures and the waiting around and various pics from the models’ cameras. We’ll be doing a performance at the gallery showing too.
    I’m glad you guys enjoy them

    Seriously, this looks like an album cover that the crappy band Limp Bizkit would have.

    I wouldn’t be to scared about the mouth.
    But I’d be terrified of doing the ears and eyes.

    This makes a great photo.
