Suspended Self-Portraits

Obscure Specializes in Body Mod Photography

This first image is what is known as an “assisted self-portrait,” and is unlike any other self-portrait I have ever seen. I can see how it may not be entirely possible to have taken this shot on your own. Again, unlike many photos of body modifications or the alternative scene, this series is of amazing artistic quality. Good work, C Allen Falkner H!

All of this set me off on a hunt around Obscure, and I discovered some amazing alternative culture images that I just had to share. If you have seen normal galleries of body modification, you will instantly see what I mean about the stand-out quality of these pieces.
