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.

    I may never do a suspension, but if I did, I would want to do it with the love of my life.

    He was the one that got me interested in suspension and he has been a part of every suspension experience I have had.
    I was happy that we were finally able to do one together.

    Awww… I’ve always wanted to do a suspension at my wedding while the vows are being said and everything. Now I just hope I find someone to marry that’d be willing do do it. I think it’d be absolutely beautiful.

    thanks guys.

    I’d like to point out the credit due to Matt Larkin. He, along with some of the founding chapter of the ROP crew, are working on photodocumenting suspension (and Rites of Passage) with wet plate photography. He’s unbelievably talented and equally as kind.
