Thousands go naked in Amsterdam
Thousands of men and women posed naked in Amsterdan in a photo shoot for US artist Spencer Tunick.
The first and largest composition was in a multi-storey car park on the city’s outer ring road in the early hours of the morning.
“It was very hard to find space in a city meant for such a small amount of people,” Tunick said. “I was very lucky to get almost 2,000 to fill a massive car park.”
Then dozens of naked woman posed naked on their bicycles on a bridge over one of Amsterdam’s historic canals.
“It was very exciting and I didn’t even feel shy,” said a Dutch woman called Didi, who nonetheless didn’t want to give her last name.
Other compositions included a group of men posing together near the carpark and a mixed group of men and women on another bridge.
Tunick, from New York, has become famous for photographing thousands of naked people in public places worldwide, from London and Vienna to Buenos Aires and Buffalo.
He set a record for naked photography when he took a picture of 18,000 naked people in Mexico City last month.
Photos from the Amsterdam session will be reproduced on billboards in the city later in the summer.
