BME: Body Modification Ezine

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’ll add loads more pictures to the main galleries tomorrow (I think over a thousand), but here’s another teaser for BMEfest. Next year is BMEfest 5 (and I think our 8th annual summer event), and we’ve got some good stuff planned already, so set your calendar!
