Getting naked with 5200 people was the easy part. Joyful, fun, sexy, 5000 people jumping out of their skin. US artist Spencer Tunick, shoots naked photos around the world. Tunick creates shots where naked people become the landscape and he photographs them. In Sydney he was commissioned by the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Tunick said it was great that the "straight community wanted to get naked with the gay community". Naked humans with tattoos, piercings, intimate hairstyles. Skin against skin on the Opera House forecourt and steps. The crowd stood to attention, spread like carpet and kissed or hugged their neighbours. They draped bodies across seats.
