They bared it all for good cause.
Approximately 2,500 people took their clothes off in Australia to pose for a photo to raise awareness for skin cancer.
Photographer Spencer Tunick, who is known for his nude group shots in public places, took the snaps Saturday morning on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
“We have an opportunity to raise awareness about skin checks and I’m honored … to come here, make my art and just celebrate the body and protection,” Tunick said.
The New York-based shutterbug partnered with the Australian charity Skin Check Champions for the project. The nonprofit is focused on early detection and runs pop-up skin check clinics.
They hope to shed light on the dangers of melanoma, which is Australia’s fourth most common cancer.
Their federal government estimates that 17,756 new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the country this year alone, and 1,281 Aussies will die from the disease.
