Morning my friends,
Hope you are all well and had a great weekend.
This morning was looking pretty grey and uninspiring so no photos but because I don’t want to let you down, here are some of the photos from Saturday morning special installation.
Some of you would have seen them already on Instagram but for the others here there are. I also included a few more.
On Saturday morning from 4 am onwards, more than 3,000+ people took off their clothes to raise awareness of skin cancer and champion early detection.
My mate Scott (aka jimmyniggles) from Skin Check Champions teamed up with the incredible artist and top guy Spencer Tunick to host a special installation down on the beach.
These photos don't give justice to the incredible show that it was. I'm glad to have played a very minor role in the organisation, just helping Spencer and Scott find the perfect angles for the shoot. My favourite ones are obviously taken not too far from ‘Morning Bondi HQ’ (platform above South Bondi public toilets), plus the sun came right on time.
I can't wait to see Spencer's photos and congratulations to all the people that were down there. You should all be very proud of yourselves! It was freezing cold at dawn. 🥶💪🏼🏆
Please note that I had full media accreditation and respected the rules around the shoot ie. featuring at least 100 people in the foreground of the shot. No close-up shots.
Enjoy the photos and please respect the privacy of these brave souls,
Cheers,
Amaury
