(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Ellen Stagg is headed to Asbury Park for an in-store signing event in celebration of her latest photo hardcover, Free to Be Naked, at the Parlor Gallery on Saturday, December 16, 2023, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.
The famed erotic photographer’s bold collection of eye-popping images, three years in the making, challenges norms with her trademark fearless style, and the Happy Hour event offers a unique opportunity for fans to chat with Stagg about her artistic works that have beautifully defined her two-decade journey within the industry.
"Through Free to Naked, I wanted to capture the unfiltered spirit of human beauty and freedom," said Stagg of her 255-page hardcover volume. "Every image is a celebration of body confidence, a visual testament to the power of embracing one's own skin without compromise."
The Brooklyn-based sensation has already made waves with a 'Best Book 2017' award for her Dirty Girl Collection, and is a two-time Alt Porn Award winner. Free to Be Naked from Goliath Publishing is available via ShopEllenStagg.com and StaggStreet.com/shop for personally-signed copies from the artist herself.
