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.

Now THAT’s a beautiful suspension!

    I’d say there’s quite a bit of photoshopping done there. It looks to me like 3 pictures stitched together: The mossy/cliff background (including log), the waterfall/rock area, and her.

    That or it’s just an odd perspective or something.

    I’m going with great picture, odd perspective.
    Interesting choice to suspend naked, but I can understand why someone would want to. It’s pretty.
