Carly Taylor has always hidden her body from the world. Her former partners had never seen her naked.
So disrobing in public next week in the company of a crowd of strangers for New York photographer Spencer Tunick's return to Melbourne is a huge leap for the South Yarra resident.
Ms Taylor, 36, of South Yarra, has battled poor body image for many years.

Hundreds of naked people are set to gather on a chilly rooftop in Australia in July after a supermarket dropped its objections to a mass nude photo shoot by renowned New York artist Spencer Tunick.
Woolworths had refused permission due to fears that a photo shoot in its rooftop car park would disrupt its busy Saturday morning trade, but gave the go-ahead after organizers changed the date.
"We're very supportive of the Provocaré Festival of the Arts and the Chapel Street community in which we operate," a Woolworths spokesperson said, adding that the festival organizers' flexibility with timing convinced the supermarket to allow the photoshoot to go ahead.

WOOLIES has reversed its ban on world-renowned artist Spencer Tunick to stage his mass nude photoshoot on its carpark rooftop in Prahran.
Tunick, whose nudes have graced the Sydney Opera House and world heritage sites, wanted to photograph those willing to strip off for art’s sake during Prahran’s Provocaré festival in July.
No it wasn’t too fresh for the Fresh Food People, although those willing to bare all in Melbourne’s winter might have raised as many goosebumps as eyebrows.

Early last month Broadsheet announced world-famous photographer Spencer Tunick would headline Chapel Street’s winter arts festival Provocaré. The New York State-born artist is known primarily for photographing large-scale nude shoots in public locations, sometimes featuring thousands of participants.
More than 10,000 people have so far registered interest in getting their kits off for Tunick’s shoots across the two weekends of the festival, and three locations have already been secured. The artist had hoped the rooftop car park of the Chapel Street Woolworths could be used as the final location for shooting.
“He fell in love with that location and just had a vision of what he wanted to do with it,” Chapel Street Precinct Association (CSPA) head of business Chrissie Maus tells Broadsheet.

World renowned artist-photographer, Spencer Tunick, arrives in Australia next month to shoot a series of mass nude photographs in Melbourne. His ‘hero’ shot was to be on top of the Woolworths Prahran rooftop carpark – prized for its Melbourne skyline backdrop. Woolworths have said no because of ‘potential loss of trade’ - even though the shot happens before 9am on a Saturday and only 4 cars traditionally use the car park at that time! Chapel Street Precinct Association (CSPA) have started a petition against Woolworths to reverse the decision.
