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.

“My first time as a model”

Don’t think I’m hitting on you Pastille, but I’d say you did a great job. Photo © by DG Photography in Belgium. I can’t get their site going because I use Flash 7 (damn linux), but if you wanted prints or anything like that, that’s who you should contact.

    I love the sleeves and attached chestpiece. And I’m actually starting to like the look of guys “liberating” their underwear by putting plenty of it in view. How odd.

    Shannon you should sell prints of these in the BMEStore. Some of these pics are amazing. I’d love to have a copy.

    M – Selling prints via BMEshop is sort of a pain (we did it briefly with some of Phil’s shots)… but I try and link the photographer if they’re credited and many of them are very open to selling prints if you contact them.
