Simon
Lohmeyer is a photographer taking nudes to the extreme. He has a
penchant for butterflies, animal masks, and non-stop travelling.
Exploring his native Germany, the US, Mexico, Cambodia, Iceland and
other far-flung destinations with a troupe of equally naked
friends Simon’s photos are liberating, erotic and ebullient. We caught
up with him to learn more about his au naturel style.

Hey Simon, you and your subjects are naked a lot. What is it about photographing nudes that you like so much?
I love the rare and real body – the look of everyone from when they were born. I was modelling for almost 10 years
and I’m sick of being the doll of the fashion industry – so no clothes
is good clothes. Also I guess I am a sexually-driven character..
Do you think society would be better if we were exposed to more nudity? Are we too censored?
Yes more nudity please! And what is this thing with censoring women’s nipples? – I don’t get it!
Which photographers have influenced or had an impact on your creative style? What is it you like about them?
There a few. I love Ryan McGinley, he speaks my language of freedom. Also Tim Walker, he is as romantic as I want to be.
Someone who I just discovered is Harry Gruyere, so random but he creates a look I love.
As an artist, who or what are you currently obsessed with?
Rayya. She inspires me <3
