Photographer produces amazing images of nude abstract [gallery]

Who says the non-obvious nude can't be beautiful and interesting either? The incredible image above, by Japanese photographer Schinichi Maruyama, depicts naked dancers in full motion.

Maruyama explores the movements of dancing models, and the effect is amazing. All photographs were taken from the same perspective, and although they appear to have been taken with long exposure shots, each image was composed from the combination of thousands of individual photos of each dancer.
