Photographer Spencer Tunick assembled a group of about 5,200 nude people for a photo shoot, Breaking Celebrity News has learned, to pose in front of the famed Opera House in Sydney, Australia on Monday.

Tunick, an emerging star in the photography world, is known as a shy man who prefers to dress in black, and refers to his pictures as "installations." He has a niche for taking huge nude group shots.

"It was difficult to get the straight participants to embrace the gay participants and vice versa," Tunick said. "So I was very happy that that last set up finally got done and everyone came together in a united, friendly kiss, a loving kiss in front of this great structure."
