About this photograph and Shoot #20 of 100 NUDE Shoots:

[…] The performance was going to be an unmissable event and was also going to happen in an incredible location: the ruins of an old school at Vila Maria Zélia, a disused industrial village that became a protected cultural heritage for the city. I'd probably never get another chance of photographing there, so I had the great ideia of inviting Jan to do the photographic coverage of the act itself. But of course, we arrived a couple hours before the start so that we could do our own photo session, for 100 NUDE Shoots and for his own artistic nude series, Other Colours, a project "about people and their inner spectrum, a project to reveal a subtle view upon the inner self, undressed of clothing, fears, armors, prejudices", in Janssem's own words.

The mysterious environment of the ruins, the cloudy but illuminated afternoon, the intermittent rain and even the presence of the other performers, who were all around warming up and couldn't avoid peeking at our shoot (can you find one of them in one of the photos below?), all of it contributed to keep us going enthusiastically, and we only stopped photographing when our time was up due to the act that was about to start at the place […].
