Erica Simone is a photographer based in New York City. Erica has a pure passion for photography she lives and breathes it on a daily basis. This series was done for the website ArtistWanted.com in which Erica poses nude around New York City in order to question the fashion concious town she lives in.
Many of Simone's works include music and travel and she has recently returned from France where she took images of DJ Carl Cox.
Implications - Simone attributes her bold and daring shoot to her fear of missing out, and her lifelong desire to try anything and everything. While many may see her moves as foolish or excessive, her decision to go nude in the freezing cold snow is entirely supported by her infinite drive.
