A nude photo club has invaded another public location for its next photo shoot – metro carriages.

BeautyCLUB, an online nude photo club based in Taiwan, has over 4,000 registered members who actively participate in nude photo shoots, now targeting areas like Taiwan’s high-speed railway, airliners and live classrooms.

This time, photos of a naked woman taken at the Xianse Temple Station in the Taipei metro went viral shortly after the photo was posted. The forum’s fans showed zealous support and voted these series of photos as the “best nude photo taken in a public transportation venue.”

One of the fans in the BeautyCLUB community explained the difficulties in shooting a nude photo in public, since photo-takers need to be on the lookout for local police and surveillance cameras in the area.

According to local police, shooting nude photos in public areas is strictly forbidden by law, and people who do not abide by “good social norms” can be fined up to the equivalent of 208,000 won.
