Around 500 people braved the Australian winter to pose for a series of controversial nude photographs on top of a Melbourne parking lot.
The photo shoot, which was organized by American artist Spencer Tunick, took place this morning in temperatures of approximately 48 degrees Fahrenheit. It comes just weeks after supermarket chain Woolworths reversed its decision to ban the event from its premises.

Five-hundred people will strip naked in the dead of Melbourne's winter and cover themselves in coloured paint for the first of a series of photo shoots by world famous artist Spencer Tunick on Sunday.
The New York-based photographer is promising an “exciting, exhilarating, quick, messy, coloured lather-up work of art” that is reminiscent of a “gumball machine”.
“Everyone will be painted different colours and it will reflect the graffiti covered area” of the secret location chosen for the event in Chapel Street Precinct, he said, which has commissioned the work.

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.
