好的摄影师，能够解放拍摄对象的灵魂，旅居美国纽约的法国美女摄影师西蒙娜（Erica Simone）更直接，一丝不挂上街购物、借书、铲雪甚至坐地铁，让身体和灵魂大解放。

25岁的西蒙娜两年前欣赏时装展时忽发奇想：人若没有时装去证明自己，要赤条条过日子会是甚麽光景？她很喜欢这构思，但想了很久才实行。「我一直不肯定是否做得来，我绝不是露体狂。」

幸好她鼓起勇气，才有这辑出色的作品。她拍摄时没不快事，「大部份人只是笑，也有人鼓掌。」她说：「最难那次是在地铁拍摄，坐足全程才拍到好照片。」这次创作令西蒙娜「不再对身体感到羞耻。」她说：「这样裸体与性无关，却竟然犯法，真疯狂。」她的作品下月会公开展出。英国《每日邮报》

Parisian born photographer Erica Simone performs a number of everyday tasks in the buff for her new exhibition Nue York: Self-portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen



Erica goes to her local convenience store for a packet of cigarettes in the nude as part of the project which she got the idea for at Fashion Week two years ago



Erica wasn't sure if she could go through with getting naked herself but managed to get five usable shots in her first day at the West Village

Once Erica got the idea for the exhibit, she decided to step out from behind the camera and do a number of self portraits in the nude, sometimes wearing only a variety of accessories, performing mundane activities



The 20 shots are part of Simone's new exhibit which opens next month at the Dash Gallery in Tribeca. She said she wanted to shoot people naked in the street doing regular things, 'not especially posing, or being naked, but doing whatever'



Erica said the general public were very accepting of her nudity and most were applauding and cheering while she was doing it, though admitted the subway shot was the most challenging one
