The Naked Handstander is the only name he is going by, which is appropriate considering that so far all of his naked handstand portraits have remained hilariously anonymous. Traveling around the world for the last five years, the Naked Handstander has managed to accumulate quite the collection of images that include stunning landscapes, iconic landmarks and more.
Whether alone or surrounded by people, the Naked Handstander feels no bashfulness when it comes to stripping down and flipping upside down for the photos. Yet he does have a cause that spurs him on. He writes, "Experiencing the world one naked handstand at a time to raise awareness of planned obsolescence." The Naked Handstander is raising awareness of modern society's 'throwaway culture' that promotes wastefulness and consumerism.
