Oh, there they are…

What would you say if somebody you met while on the road said, “Give yourself away to nature. Let it go completely and let it take you.” IE, please pose nude out in the open.

Thankfully, in 2010 photographer Ruben Brulat stumbled across a group of people who answered that question in the affirmative as he embarked on an epic journey through Europe to Asia.

Take a look for yourself – at Brulat’s beautiful landscapes – that have a naked person, or people hidden in each one.

Beautiful, isn’t it?

Speaking to Slate Brulat said, “When I would meet a person or a few people, we would create friendship. We would share. I would talk about the project. If they were ready, and if there was a place nearby that we could explore—and if the nature was magnificent and strong and overwhelming—then there would be a picture.”

As for his motivations? Brulat said, “I hope the photos talk about friendship, about the vulnerability of us and of time, about the brief moments of life that fade quickly into memories. We all met sometimes far but sometime close to home, and often then said goodbye to each other forever.”
