French Photog Snaps Nudes on the Metro
Springtime in Paris must be as sexy as they say. First we saw Lauren Conrad flirting around town then came the perverts' guide to the arrondissements. Now a new book featuring moody photos of naked ladies is up for sale.
Photographer Jam Abelanet says he took all but one of the (possibly NSFW) photos for his title Fantaisies Souterraines (Underground Fantasies) while the Paris Metro was open for business--but never during rush hour. Most of them are un-retouched, but Abelanet admits a few have been tweaked. But why shoot in the subway?
I started taking photos of nudes in the studio, but I was frustrated by the decor. So I looked around Paris for some places that could be interesting. The Metro is so rich, it's interesting to work from that. At first, the work was a little makeshift, but by then there's no going back.
The subway authorities are worried that people will try to copy his shots, endangering themselves in the process. But we say long live subway photo shoots!
