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.

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Hey, look at this handsome gent! Young David and some school chums staged an impromptu photo-shoot during their photography class the other day and here we have the glorious result. More shots of the shampoo commercial model of the future, after the jump.
