The Naked Brunch

Posted: 6 October 2009 at 2:25 pm

It’s not every day I get to photograph people “in puris naturalibus”, so I knew this assignment from the get go would be interesting. Add some very low & mixed source lighting & I knew it would be more than interesting. Shot on assignment for AAP.

(Edit: The above pic was run by ABC News online as the “Top Shot” of the day :)

The event is part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. And yes, everyone except me, Jeff Turnbull from AAP, and William West from AFP, was naked. The event was held at Bebida Cafe in Smith Street, Fitzroy. Many thanks to event organiser Natalie Bak (above), for access that allowed me to make such amazing images.

did you send the photos in to Getty images or was that one of the other guys? no one asked me if I was comfortable having my bits plastered up on the net! waaaaah!



Hi Raoul,
They\’re beautiful pics, congratulations. But I\’m concerned about whether permission was properly given by participants to put them online. I know Nat gave it but I guess I\’m particularly concerned about the second pic and whether the lady with the glasses would really want it shown in such a public arena.
Regards,
Liana
