Extended interview: Ilan Wittenberg on Bare Truth

Extended interview: Ilan Wittenberg on Bare Truth

It's an exhibition of topless men -- but it's not what you think.

Bare Truth is a collection of 40 black and white photos of men showing their vulnerability and their pride.

Photographer Ilan Wittenberg found many with life's battle scars.

"And when they take their shirt off I suddenly discovered all these tattoos that remind them to be clean of drugs, or remind them of loved ones who have died or simply huge scars of a triple bypass or chemotherapy or some operation they went through.

"It simply reminds them of how fragile we are," Wittenberg says.

He sat down with Newshub to talk about the art.
