Naked Rotterdam : A Tribute To Greg Friedler

Naked Rotterdam is a very special book, thanks also to the message behind it that people should be allowed to be just themselves – without make-up and polish. Aside from the impressive photographs, the impact of the encounter between Leon Schroder and his 165 subjects can be found in the short, personal motivations that are included in the book. This book is much more than a beautiful photo book; it is an appeal to look and think differently. In a time in which images can be manipulated, Naked Rotterdam is a ‘protest’.
Naked Rotterdam features 165 double portraits. Each person is portrayed both clothed and naked. Unlike traditional nude photography, these portraits are not erotic or sexual. They are a very pure and at the same time an intimate registration of ordinary people.
