Around 400 people braved the dawn drizzle on Sunday, lying nude in a Swiss square for a photograph for controversial New York photographer Spencer Tunick, the ATS news agency said. 

The 416 participants gathered at Fribourg's town hall square at 5:00 am (0300 GMT), but had to wait for an hour while clouds cleared. They then posed on the ground while Tunick took three photographs, before getting dressed. 

Every model will receive a group photo. 

Tunick is especially known in the United States for his nude photographs. New York police were not happy when 200 of his nude bodies occupied Times Square -- FRIBOURG, Switzerland (AFP)
