The Tel Aviv accountant who started naked holiday photo craze

An accountant from Tel Aviv, Amichay Rab, said he was "sensitive" to locals when starting the trend of taking naked travelling photos almost ten years ago.

His comments came following the arrest of British graduate, Eleanor Hawkins, who posed naked on a sacred mountain in Malaysia.

Ms Hawkins and three other tourists were jailed for three days and fined as a consequence of their actions.

Mr Rab's first reaction following the news of Ms Hawkins' arrest was that he "wouldn't do it in a Muslim country", and added that posing naked whilst travelling "depends how you do it - not what you do".
