4,000 Take It All Off for Aussie Photo Shoot
Thousands of Australians stripped naked in a chilly drizzle for the latest in an American photographer’s “Nude Adrift” series.
About 4,000 people gathered at the Yarra River’s Princes Bridge and adjoining Alexandra Gardens in Melbourne.
Since 1992, Spencer Tunick of New York has been photographing hundreds of naked people against urban backdrops from London to Jerusalem. The project has gotten him arrested seven times in the U.S.
Sunday’s turnout surpassed his previous record--2,500 in Montreal.
“I was amazed and surprised that so many showed up,” Tunick said. “The weather was horrible.”
