American photographer Spencer Tunick nude art installations will put even Photoshop to shame.

The NY-based lensman, best known for his wildly creative and starkly nude escapades have pulled off one feat after another with his graphic-antics.

The widely traveled photographer has been hosting nude installations for over 20 years now, creating human art installations all over the world, calling together volunteers by the hundreds or thousands, asking them to remove their clothes, and photographing them in massive groups. He has been put behind the bars several times for outraging communities through his ardent passion.

His philosophy is that "individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape."

“He aims to create an architecture of flesh, where the masses of human bodies blend with the landscape, or juxtapose with architecture. Collected here are images from several of his installations as they were being composed. Warning: The following photos all depict naked human bodies, and are not screened out. The nudity is central to Tunick's art,” writes the Atlantic.com.

Tunick's installations have also had a tremendous positive impact on the subjects' body images. They frequently express the profound feeling of complete liberation after a shoot.
