An image of mine from my first teaching workshop. As there was an emphasis on shooting style and interaction, i got to shoot a couple demonstration minutes during the day.  The best feeling is knowing that the photographers taking the class got even better shots!!

Sneak Peek of my recent suspension photo shoot for Missy Ink.

I’ve been wanting to shoot something involving suspension for a long time now.  
There’s an inherent beauty in it for me, if you look past your own preconceptions
of what you think it is.  I have no interest in “gore” or things simply for
shock value and I knew this was about something different. I won’t pretend to
understand anything about it and I knew it wasn’t something that was going to
be easily explained to an “outsider” but I was happy to be able to photograph
it in a way I thought did it justice.  What I witnessed was a group of people
coming together to experience something that was important to them.

I have friends in the tattoo and piercing industry and I knew what to expect in
terms of the amount of time and preparation that would be dedicated to hygiene.
I’ve had doctors and been in hospitals that are less proficient in this area.
What I didn’t really expect was the amount of compassion being shown when someone
was being prepped and suspended.  I’m sure its about pain in many regards but it
was definitely not about enjoying anyone else’s pain.  You could see it in the eyes
of both the professionals and the subjects as they looked at each other.  
It was anything but gory or gratuitous.  Thank you Russ, Mae, Shannon, Talia, Cassandra
and Michael for “letting me in” and allowing me to photograph some of your experiences!
