Street Nudes & Public Spaces is an artistic nude photography series set in the raw pulse of the city. Inspired by Arkadiy Kurta’s & Ruslan Loboanov’s fearless urban compositions, this project explores the tension between vulnerability and visibility, placing the nude body amid concrete, clutter, and crowds.
Each image is a protest against the censorship of the nude form from public view. Against the algorithmic flattening across society and digital platforms of gesture, tone, and legacy.
These are not clandestine moments or stylized studio poses—they are flashes of defiance, staged with precision but alive with chaos. Each shoot unfolds quickly, surgically planned and executed in seconds, designed to slip between the rhythms of street life without disruption.
Also, as an extension to “Street Nudes” project, I hope to shoot some “transient” topless or nude work in semi-public indoor locations. Cafes, Train Stations, Libraries etc – likely not while anyone’s around, of course.
Only bold, confident collaborators need apply. These shoots happen in public urban spaces where nudity meets everyday hustle & bustle – from bus stops to building sites, alleyways to underpasses. You’ll be seen. You’ll be sculptural. You’ll be extraordinary.
Shoot Philosophy
- Brief, bold, and brilliant: Fast-paced shoots that are meticulously prepped yet improvisational in spirit.
- Visibility as aesthetic: We embrace the gaze of passersby – not to provoke, but to reframe.
- Rush-hour intimacy: Early morning empty streets are not always the rule. Some of the most electric moments happen in peak bustle, when the world moves too fast to notice.
What We’re Exploring
- The nude as interruption.
- The body in tension with urban geometry.
- Spontaneity as sculpture.
For those who want to help me make a stand against erasure, censorship and body-shaming. These shoots happen in civic space, not private studios. They’re fast, bold, and emotionally literate.
