Cruise Naked
January 31, 2007 by David Bergman
The band Barenaked Ladies brought me on board the Carnival Legend for five days in January to document the first ever BNL “Ships and Dip” concert cruise for TourPhotographer.com.
The fans were told that if they wanted to be in a very special photo they should show up at the pool wearing their cabin bathrobe and nothing else.
My biggest concern was that only 10 people would show up. Luckily, we got nearly six hundred and the band posed right in the middle (on the upper level behind the circular railing).
On the count of three, all of the robes were dropped and I made a photo that hundreds of BNL fans will never forget.
Everyone I talked to said that we made it a lot of fun and they had a great time. The only awkward part was reaching down to pick up their robes after I was done taking the shot!
If you want to see the “before” photo of everyone in their robes, it’s available at TourPhotographer.com. Just navigate to the 2007 Ships and Dip photos in the Barenaked Ladies section.
