HOUSTON – A Houston model didn't waste any time leaving a lasting impression on others during her first trip to New York.
Shelby Carter surprised guests by stripping down for a photo shoot in the bar and restaurant of a posh New York Hotel.
"Got some really great photos out of it all in the name of art, " said the 22-year-old.
Carter was working with photographer Allen Henson on an art project and gauging others reaction to her stripping down in public for photos.
"You can see this woman in the video. She is like I can't believe this is happening. As I am walking back inside she came up to me and asked, 'why are you doing this? Are you trying to get reaction out of people?' I could tell she was upset and I said no it is all for art. This is going to be really great photos, you will see," added Carter.
The model and photographer were asked by security to leave the hotel. New York police officers were called but there were no arrests.
The photo shoot was caught by other cameras and shared on social media and now Carter said she is hearing from people as far away as Turkey, Italy, China and Spain.
"I didn't know it was going to blow up as big as it did," said Carter.
She already has her next shoot set for next month.
"I think if i want to be in the industry for long i need to do as much as possible," said the model who also works as a photographer.
