Controversial Public Transit Photos

Paris Metro Nudes

Paris Metro Officials are racking their heads trying to find out how photographer Jam Abelanet was able to take such artsy shots of nude babes on the metro. They are actually afraid that the passengers may actually try to imitate the poses in photographs which were published by the free newspaper called the Metro. The shots were taken for a fashion photography book called Fantaisies Souterraines - Underground Fantasies.
