It rambles but does have it's moments

"I got Naked States years ago so I decided to get this one as well. I'm not sure which I like best (it's been so long since I watched "States") but this one was interesting. The video work was generally well done, Tunick might even give a better impression of himself this time around and sometimes it even looked 'arty'.
I don't remember much about the gallery extra but the New York/Grand Central bit had a somewhat disorganized look to it (maybe all photo shoots are like that), and appeared to consist entirely of hundreds of women. The resulting pictures didn't look like art to me, or pornography, but the women seemed to really enjoy themselves- not much sign of nervousness.
In all of the countries shown,in some of which only a few people posed, it seemed to be a common thread that people would be a little nervous but also excited and enjoying themselves- that might be the best part of this program (the joy of the occaision).
Some pictures come out more artful than others but this is a good video for what art does come through and for the look on people's faces as they nervously have a good time. I don't regret getting it."

Just being naked isn't art.

"'Art' requires more than just documenting naked people worldwide. Therefore, this is more of a documentary rather than a form of artistic expression. The photographer makes it clear in one scene where he doesn't think his pictures are artsy but just documenting a happening. And also that there are certainly other people who have already done a similar thing. But if you want to see how people look in other countries without their body being retouched, then this film is for you.

If you're going to claim your work is 'art', be sure to put something of your heart into it first."

Looks like he made it after all

"Watch Naked States first and then this DVD to see how far Mr. Tunick has come. He is now traveling the world rather than the US in a van.
Photos are very tastefully done and not pornographic.
His group shots are my favorite.
I purchased Naked States and Naked World after participating in one of his photo shoots in Miami Beach, FL in Oct. 2007. It's a weird feeling standing around with a bunch of naked strangers waiting for a cloud to move so he can get his shot.
I learned that no matter what your background, education, skin color, salary or what kind of car you drive at the end of the day we are all the same.

International Nudity

"If you like artistic nudity (mostly female), you will like this DVD.
It is worth what I paid.
