Ideas on why people voluntarily choose to pose nude in group shots for photos by Spencer Tunick???

Question

I just happened to see this picture with all of these nude people posing in front of a glacier to call attention to global warming:

Also, I know that this photographer has been able to very easily get huge crowds of people to willingly and voluntarily take off their clothes amongst each other for photos in various locales. My question is why???? And I guess I have to ask, would you be willing to do this???? If so, WHY???? (I just can't imagine doing this. I really can't.)

They think it is very liberating. what he is doing is art and it is not vulgar or disgusting, it is actually quite beautiful if you look at it like a a piece of art. I watched a documentary on it and the people who participate in the photographs love it because nobody is being judged or stared at.

I was hoping that someone who had actually posed for one of these photos would answer. Thank you for your answer - Would have loved to have seen that documentary. I don't think of the human body as being vulgar or disgusting; just can't imagine him being able to get so many people to pose nude!

Answer 2

Many folks will do ANYTHING for a cause. Others find it a huge adventure and a lot of fun.

Each to their own.

Answer 3

Some like the idea of rebelling, the thrill of shocking others and some think it will help their cause. For some it is even a small slice of immortality.

Answer 4

ahh that's crazy.
I wouldn't do it voluntarily, why would i want to show everyone my body.

Maybe they lived somewhere where they all take their clothes, and they don't care what people think.

Answer 5

Some people are just comfortable enough with their bodies that posing nude is not an issue for them.

Me? No.

And Brrrrrrr....... That must have been cold!!!

Answer 6

I'm sure the people who do this are either

Exhibitionists, or Voyeurs, or Both :)
