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.

    the light look is really neat, but you can barely tell they’re there, I wanted fairly subtle not virtually invisible:) and for me listening to tapes and records isn’t a fad, i grew up with tapes and records and still have them, granted i also have cd’s and an ipod, but for me the iconic image of a cassette tape or a record has always been very powerful. just take a look at my chest piece(just started) and a lot of my art, the cassette tape and music in general is a theme I stay pretty consistent with

    Very nice and subtle. There’s nothing wrong with vinyl and cassettes, or even reel-to-reel and 8-tracks for that matter. I have all kinds of stuff, even a Beta VCR.

    Hey there. A bit off-topic, but how do you do those great watermarks (f.ex. watermarks following the creases of clothes, skin etc)? You use some special program or just Photoshop?

    Abo – Just Photoshop, once you rasterize the font layer you can use the warp, distort and skew tools 🙂
