A new exhibit of Swiss photographer Michel Comte's eye-popping photographs, including several nude supermodels such as Gisele Bundchen (above), has opened at the Leica Gallery in Prague run by the famed camera maker. A trained art restorer and self-taught photographer, Comte came to prominence in 1979 with his first advertising commission for Karl Lagerfeld's fashion label Chloé. One of the top names in fashion and magazine photography, his work fetches tens of thousands of dollars at auction and has appeared in Vanity Fair, Vogue and many others. Some of Comte's other celebrity subjects include Sharon Stone, Jeremy Irons, Cindy Crawford and Carla Bruni.
