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.

Beautiful Solo Suspension

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Well, solo in the photo but punkelvse was assisted in this experience by tobben (both in Norway). I really like the picture a lot. Some day I’d love to take all my favorite photos from ModBlog and just make a collage-type book out of them (The ModBlog Scrapbook, 2005-2007?). This would definitely be there!

    I’d buy a ModBlog scrapbook as well. That is such an awesome idea, Shannon! Some of these pictures are so touching, that they deserve to be coffee-table collections.

    A modblog book would be completly fantastic, I’d buy a copy for sure. Span across all of modlblog, from years ago, though! The entries on here are always either intriging or beautiful, or both!

    So simple the lighting, so stunning the affect.

    I think you would be onto a best seller if you published that book Shannon. I could see it been done in the style of Courtney Loves book , thats a really cool style.
