One hundred photographs of naked people, ranging from a housewife to a civil servant, are going on display in an exhibition about modern city life.
Photographer Jojo Moreschi spent a year creating the collection, called Plymouth Unveiled, and he believes it is the first UK project of its kind.
Among the photographs - being shown at Plymouth’s City Museum and Art Gallery - are ones of a nude person playing golf and a family of three generations on their living room sofa.
The photographer has denied that his work is a gimmick.
“It is a serious attempt to unveil what people are like and I hope it will be appreciated on an aesthetic level,” he said.
“I wanted to capture as many layers of people as possible. I have combined traditional nude studies with classic portraiture and reportage.”
Mr Moreschi, 35, said he was inspired to take the photographs because he wanted to learn more about the hidden sides of his home city.
“I discovered that there is a really colourful, vibrant subculture here that I never knew existed,” he said.
He expressed amazement at finding so many people of all ages who were willing to act as his models - only a handful backed out at the last minute.
Museums exhibitions officer, Martin Thomas, said: “You might expect this in a trendy London art gallery, but not in Plymouth.
“However, I don’t think we will get a negative response. I hope most people will think it is humorous and very human.”
He said he was keen to stage the exhibition because it had involved many local people and was clearly rooted in the city.
“The subjects are not all models, they are just average people,” he said.
“When people visit the exhibition there is a chance they will see someone they know in the photographs. It could be their neighbour, friend or even their bank manager.”
A book containing the images is about to be published and the full exhibition will be staged next summer.
