Spencer Tunick photographs in Gay and Lesbian Parade

The photographer Spencer Tunick, known worldwide for its nude photos, held its last done in Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade of Australia, which this year began on February 19 and end on March 7, with about 5,000 nude models, in front of Sydney Opera House.

Spencer is invited often to participate in humanistic causes (Greenpeace, anti-AIDS) and now exercised his talent in the Australian Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade.

According to the photographer, "Homosexuals were lying side by side, naked. This shows the world that Australians are strongly committed to building a free and egalitarian society. "

Tunick is an American, was born in New York in 1967. Early in his career his models were friends, who posed for photos at dawn, to avoid problems with the law.

He said that the nudity in his works is not intended to titillate or provoke an erotic emotion in the viewer, although some may feel some sort of excitement. The models are usually very different, small, large, fat and thin and do not provide, generally, no particular beauty.

Tunick seeks to show with your images, first of all, a kind of human architecture, exposing the weakness of man before nature (as in picture of Greenpeace), or emphasizing the contrast between the man and his surroundings ...
