Nude in South Beach: Spencer Tunick’s Artistic Vision

There are pretty incredible artists out there in the world, but today we were fortunate to have Spencer Tunick’s creative genius in action at The Sagamore Hotel in South Beach.  Talk about Miami Beach Real Estate getting a piece of the “action”.  Some people may think this is a bit “out there”, but whatever your opinion, you can’t take away the fact that it is creative. Tunick is known for shooting masses of naked bodies across the world.  Today’s photoshoot started with The Sagamore’s 15 balconies full of Naked bodies. Miami Beach Luxury Condos It followed by 140 naked women on 140 hot pink rafts that filled the Sagamore’s pool and were later replaced by 140 naked men in 140 green rafts. Miami Beach Luxury Condos Lydia Martin of the Miami Herald said that the shot with the most “South Beach Flavor” is one where the participants shake and open bottles of champagne. Lydia also describes that after opening the champagne, the celebrating crowd jumped in the pool.  Tunick implored volunteers to get them dressed again.

“We don’t want this to become a nudist event.  We want them to put something back on to hang out right now. “

  2. It’s art Mohib – Tunick is an amazing photographer and that’s his niche

  3. Amazing art! Are children allowed to go see their mommies and dads taking the air without clothes? Reminds me of the joke:

    Two guys are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, “I slept with your mother!” The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do. The first again yells, “I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!”

    The other says, “Go home dad you’re drunk.”

    Anyways. I’m not sure if any of my remarks are relevant here…

    I love this blog, wonderful Miami -and of course- your Mojito Reviews lol. Keep up the great work!

  5. Hey again Mohib, thanks for the compliments. The day of the shooting is chaotic with all kinds of crews and people running around (and yes, many naked) – I’m sure mommies would understand that the kids would get in the way that day – (very cute with your joke) 😀
