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.

Arms Laid Upon Me


Bodyboard enthusiasts will be delighted to note than Tiff is observing proper safety technique and keeping her leash fastened at an appropriate length. They may be dismayed, however, to see that she is nowhere near the water, which even a novice will tell you could result in rugburn, splinters, and hurt feelings.

(Suspension facilitated by Constant Elevation in Brighton, UK.)

    When I looked at the first photo I didn’t even notice the hooks in her back! Didn’t realize it was a suspension until I scrolled down. Haha. >.<
