Artist seeks models:

Wanted: willing exhibitionists to create Scotland's first piece of public naked art. A leading Scottish photographer is looking for nude models for a new project "celebrating the eclectic, bohemian and artistic spirit of Glasgow's west end".
Alistair Devine hopes to emulate the work of Spencer Tunick, who became famous for his pictures involving hundreds of naked people in cities around the world.
Devine, who has photographed numerous celebrities including Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren, Sting and Elton John, wants to enlist the help of around 30 models for his shoot.
Tunick used public spaces for his photographs but Glaswegian volunteers should be able to preserve some modesty - the event will take place behind the closed doors of a new bar on Byres Road in 10 days.
Devine said: "This kind of thing has never been done before in Scotland and we are appealing for members of the Scottish public to come forward, get involved in the shoot and be part of something which is really quite out of the norm. A walk down and around Byres Road day or night is very inspiring. The area is a true hub of creativity and the type of individuals who wish to take part in this photograph will see this kind of project as broadening their life experiences.
"We are looking for Scottish models of every shape and size. The only requirement is that all individuals are over 18 and aren't shy as they will be required to strip off and bare all.
"The shoot will kick off very early at 9am on Sunday, July 23, and is certain to be a truly unforgettable morning for all involved."
Artist Spencer Tunick has been celebrated and vilified in equal measure for his controversial work featuring hundreds of naked bodies sprawled along streets, roadsides and empty malls.
Focused in New York and cities across the US, Tunick calls his models "human sculptures" and captures them on video and through stark monochrome pictures. For one picture he gathered his models outside the United Nations building and wrapped 25 nudes in a plastic sheet for his own version of the "General Assembly". Devine's Glasgow shoot will not involve full-frontal poses and all models will be artfully arranged throughout a new venue called bobar.
The event has been billed as a celebration of the "eclectic, bohemian and artistic spirit of the west end which relentlessly pushes the boundaries of creativity and continually produces leading figures in the music, fashion, art and acting world". Devine has been a photo-journalist for more than 30 years, with a career spanning every aspect of the media, from newspapers and glossy magazines to broadcasting.
As well as winning Scottish, British and World press awards for his photography, Devine has held a number of high-profile exhibitions featuring pictures of Sean Connery, Billy Connolly and Ewan McGregor. Craig McAdam, manager of bobar, said: "It is an exciting and daring idea which will appeal to those liberated individuals out there who want to take part in a first of its kind project and it should make their Sunday a little bit more interesting than it would normally be."
