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.

    Chris – Nope. All drawn and coloured by her (I didn’t change a thing on the photos).

    The facial detials especially look like they are done in photoshop, however this means if they are done by hand as you say then they are amazingly good drawings.
