Thousand of female and male models flooded the streets of Hull in Yorkshire, England, stark naked for a mass photoshoot conducted by the renowned photographer Spencer Tunick.
New York-based photographer Spencer Tunick has undertaken this massive project which he has named the "Sea of Hull". It would not be his first massive nude photo project.
The men and women have been covered in shades of blue and green, because "Sea of Hull" actually is to celebrate the relationship the town of Hull has with the sea, and to draw attention to the growing climate change, Tunick told The Guardian.
