Photographed outdoors we see a magician, screenwriter, trapeze artist,  unemployed surfer, filmmaker, casting director,  aerospace engineer, and many more. This serious  and, at the same time, amusing group of  portraits shows the surprising differences and  not so surprising similarities we have to one  another clothed and unclothed.  Unlike  traditional nude photography, these portraits  don't have erotic or sexual overtones; they are simply real people who reveal both their clothed  public selves and their naked private selves.  Greg Friedler's work as a documentary  photographer is a kind of anthropological survey of people. If clothing is a voluntary choice,  unclothed we see people in an involuntary  state—we see their bodies as we see their faces, unmasked. These images are at once deeply  intimate and refreshingly matter of fact.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49529028477201,"sku":"CIN0393318745G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50512609018129,"sku":"CIN0393318745VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50644665499921,"sku":"GOR005209315","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50669895221521,"sku":"GOR005032654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0393318745.jpg?v=1751229232"},{"product_id":"naked-new-york-book-greg-friedler-9780747533269","title":"Naked New York","description":"This photographic art book is a reference work for voyeurs.

Color photographs echo the gaudy surface of the Strip, but these people—including waitresses, teachers, sex workers, businessmen, transsexuals, taxi drivers, mothers, and homeless men—dare to step outside their protective everyday facades.Unlike traditional nude photography, these portraits are devoid of erotic or sexual overtones. Friedler's work is a kind of anthropological survey. If clothing is a voluntary choice, unclothed we see people in an involuntary state—we see their bodies as we see their faces, unmasked.

Friedler's approach is akin to the anthropologist. His work as a documentary photographer is an investigation into humanity, a survey and study of people. If clothing is a voluntary choice, unclothed we see people in an involuntary state--we see their bodies as we see their faces, unmasked. At once deeply intimate and surprisingly matter of fact, these images reveal more of our commonality than our differences.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50304687014161,"sku":"CIN0393316467G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51527671513361,"sku":"CIN0393316467VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53012432388369,"sku":"GOR006483178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0393316467.jpg?v=1750942231"},{"product_id":"naked-new-york-book-greg-friedler-9780393041095","title":"Naked New York","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50349357465873,"sku":"CIN0393041093G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50964555596049,"sku":"GOR014150994","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0393041093.jpg?v=1750813582"},{"product_id":"naked-london-pa-book-greg-friedler-9780393320299","title":"NAKED LONDON PA","description":"The third in a series of unique and startling collections of photographs depicting ordinary people first clothed, then completely naked. After the success of Naked New York and Naked Los Angeles, Greg Friedler has traveled to London, where he was filmed for national television while taking pictures of people from all walks of life, both dressed and in the nude. The result is a pair of juxtaposed images for each person photographed, with only their profession and age given as a caption. Ultimately, all subjects are equally vulnerable in revealing their unclothed, private selves. In presenting them to us in this most elemental human state, Friedler's documentary-style photography emphasizes the traits we share rather than our incongruities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50541248315665,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50541248971025,"sku":"GOR001327524","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0393320294.jpg?v=1750813731"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-greg-friedler.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
