Athletes naked at the beach for Ripped & Stripped calendar
By Sam Rigby
If you were struggling before to decide which calendar to hang on your wall in 2015, that choice is about to get even more difficult.
Meet the boys of the Ripped & Stripped calendar, which features eight athletic models getting naked at the beach for charity.
20% of the funds raised from the calendar and the accompanying DVD will be divided between the Albert Kennedy Trust, Ballboys Testicular Cancer and Macmillan Cancer Support.
Photographer Nick Baker said of the shoot: “There were some moments of pure imagination from our lads that would keep the best artists on their toes. Seaweed to keep the boys’ modesty was inspired (thanks Cameron!) and we’re sure nobody has used a frisbee, sorry, a novelty flying disc – as a steering wheel before.”
The Ripped & Stripped 2015 calendar is available to pre-order on the project’s official website, and will be released on September 29.
Check out some preview pictures from the calendar, as well as a two-minute trailer, below:
(FYI there are plenty of naked male calendars to choose from for 2015 – check out the Warwick Rowers in all their glory here, or have a look at a preview video for Dieux Du Stade’s 2015 calendar here.)
