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.

Falling Apart

Dan Lake went the classical route for this bust, however for the life of me I can’t recall where this image is from.  Any ideas?

Dan works at Arthur T Sharpes in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

    I wanted this tattooed on me a few years ago but decided that it would not look good as a tattoo. I was wrong! Beautifully done.
