Naked Britain |

As a fashion photographer, Amelia Allen works in an industry obsessed with body image, one that focuses on the most flattering way of covering bodies.
It was therefore an unusual and refreshing step for her to move into a world where the body is completely liberated, devoid of styling and stripped of fabric and fashion.
People are no longer defined by appearance and are free to connect as equals, regardless of wealth, occupation or social standing.In her book, Amelia explores the reasons behind the unique and controversial status of naturism in today's society that often associates nudity with sex;
to Allen that association is a harmful misconception.
She says: "It is interesting that the sight of a naked child is perfectly innocent, but from puberty onwards nudity becomes somehow indecent.
In my book I want to share with you the liberation and empowerment that naturism can provide in a completely non-sexual way.
The sense of fun and freedom that naturism seems to bestow on its followers is extraordinarily infectious and I like to think I have captured the raw beauty of that."
