More than 1,000 people have taken part in a naked photo shoot as part of a Spencer Tunick art installation at Blarney Castle, Cork.
The 'Dare to Bare' challenge took part earlier this morning as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival and was photographed by the renowned US artist.
Tunick, who specialises in the celebration of the nude form, has photographed over 75 site specific related installations around the world.
He will stage another installation in Dublin on Saturday in conjunction with the Dublin Docklands Development Authority.
