Mike Windle—Getty Images  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Oct 2, 2015 10:11 PM UTC Demi Lovato stripped down for photographer Patrick Ecclesine to show off her newfound sense of self acceptance. The star, who lost her great-grandfather the day before the spontaneous photoshoot, told the [Vanity Fair](http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/10/demi-lovato-spontaneous-nude-makeup-free-photo-shoot?mbid=social%5Ffacebook#10) photographer what inspired her. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past day, it’s that life is too short,” she told Ecclesine. Lovato explained the body-positive image that she was striving for: “Super-sexy, but no makeup, no fancy lighting, no retouching, and no clothing.” “I’m about to launch an album that finally represents who I truly am. How do I embrace this new chapter in my life? How do I really walk the walk? What does it mean to be confident? It means letting go, being authentic, saying I don’t give a f\*\*k and this is who I am. I want to show the side of me that’s real, that’s liberated, that’s free. What if we do a photo shoot where it’s totally raw?” Lovato has openly acknowledged her past struggle with [eating disorders](http://www.seventeen.com/health/advice/a14148/demi-lovato-eating-disorder/), which she touches on in a [behind-the-scenes video.](https://thescene.com/watch/vanityfair/test-driving-james-bond-s-incredible-custom-made-aston-martin?source=player%5Fscene%5Flogo) “You know, that says—I never would’ve thought I’d get to a point in my life where I’d feel comfortable doing that.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4060175/demi-lovato-unretouched-nude-photoshoot/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4060175/demi-lovato-unretouched-nude-photoshoot/"},"headline":"Demi Lovato Posed Nude to Celebrate Her Newfound Body Confidence","datePublished":"2015-10-02T22:11:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:34.016Z","description":"\"I want to show the side of me that’s real, that’s liberated, that’s free\"","url":"https://time.com/4060175/demi-lovato-unretouched-nude-photoshoot/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Body Image","musician","photographer","singer","Demi Lovato"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc88f0ba0873ede5b/698866be8e0601dbe5462ae5/demi-lovato.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc88f0ba0873ede5b/698866be8e0601dbe5462ae5/demi-lovato.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Daytime Village At The 2015 iHeartRadio Music Festival - Show","caption":"The Daytime Village At The 2015 iHeartRadio Music Festival - Show","creditText":"Mike Windle—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4060175/demi-lovato-unretouched-nude-photoshoot/","name":"Demi Lovato Posed Nude to Celebrate Her Newfound Body Confidence"}}]}] ```
