“We used their sporting equipment to keep some sort of modesty.”

To take some raunchy photos this summer, the students met at several spots, including Grantchester Meadows as well the university’s Archaeology Museum.

The group did a “dry run” in clothing to get used to their poses, before they stripped off for the nude photos. This took around fifteen minutes.

Andrew claimed that the dogs were respectful of their nudity and did not get caught by dog-walkers.

He explained that there was a very limited window in which to capture photos.

“We felt a bit anxious when we went outside as we did not want to be offensive.

“We received a couple of runners and dog walkers who stopped by, but some weren’t sure where to go.
