NUDE IN NYC

“Brave, humorous, but sexy, Nue York is a unique collection with wonderful energy.
​Simone is a rising star in the photography world.”
- Michael Klug, publisher of Whitewall Magazine

THE PROJECT
NUE YORK: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen

"The point is not to be nude for shock value. I am simply an artist looking to humorously poke at some interesting thoughts about society and question who we are and embody as human beings inhabiting this home we call Earth. It’s now up to you to answer or raise these questions, as you like." - Erica Simone

ACCORDING TO ALLIE
LESS IS MORE

"Perhaps it's cliche to say 'less is more', but the saying rings true more often than not. This particular body of work is no exception to this rule. Less formality, less conformity & less clothing (none at all in fact), make Erica both the canvas and the composer of this brilliant work. The female form is a beautiful when bare. The question is this. When not concealed and covered, can you be comfortable with yourself? Perhaps not when exposed in public, but in private upon personal evaluation, are you foreign to your natural form? In my opinion, Nue York offers its audience the opportunity to find comfort with more exposure of ourselves and less concern for societal constructs." -AM
