Professional dancers from all around the world stripped down to pose for Manhattan portrait photographer Jordan Matter's new book: Dancers After Dark.
From London to Paris to New York City, this professional photographer traveled to many different cities to capture dancers' completely naked bodies in public places. "Often, in life, we have to run toward our goals blindfolded, trusting our instincts to guide us. This kind of photography art represents our willingness to throw ourselves into the streets without fear of failure," Matter said. "Doing so led to beauty and exhilaration we could not have imagined." Each photo shows how the dancers have left their comfort zone to pursue their dreams with extraordinary commitment. Take a look at some of Matter's interesting photos celebrating the human body shot in New York below. You can buy his book and beautiful art through his website.

Come on! Is the content considered mature really to be censured? This is the beauty of the naked body. Other than that, beautiful pictures.
They are very beautiful, but does New York not have laws about nudity? Here there would be a riot.
Years ago, a judge ruled that if a man can go topless in NYC, so can a woman. Unless that has been overturned in recent years, it is not illegal for anyone to go topless in NYC. Bottomless, on the other hand, might be an issue, but I have to assume special permissions were obtained for this photo shoot.
