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.

    I like seeing all the suspension posts here and I find that some would be cool to do, but this one looks painful as hell.

    So few people have succeeded at a single point chest suspension, and Kelly goes up with eeeeease. It’s surreal.

    Love her extensive black work. The last two shots remind me of something I’ve seen in the circus. Great photos over all, and one hell of a suspension.
