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.

Kaa’s Eyes Redux

You may remember a while back I posted a beautiful photo of [beautiful] Candice. I wanted to also share this very different ice-eyed photo of her (iam:Candice) from a shoot she did for an Italian photographer at the Tate Modern Art Museum in London. I hope the Kipling title is not too obscure.

    I love how the freckles on her cheeks are spreadeagle perfect across her upper cheeks and nose. It looks almost like dirt, deep dirt.. the kind that auto mechanics have sometimes… but it looks so clean and icy at the same time. Wonderful effect!

    Wow, that really is an amazing image not least for the ice-blue eyes.

    I love the inkwork too — what does the Tibetan read?

    Thanks for the lovely comments guys! The tibetan writing on my arm was drawn up for me by a tibetan monk who is quite well known for doing tibetan calligraphy. He does most of the designs for Into You (Alex Binnie’s studio). Its basically a tibetan mantra for protection and good health! All my Tattoo’s were done by my boyfriend Andro who works at London Piercing Studio in SOHO london!

    Am I right in saying that this is the same girl who posed for Lloyds TSB in the UK for their student account?

    Overall, a beautiful photo of a beautiful woman.
