Demi Lovato poses for 'spontaneous' nude midnight photoshoot for Vanity Fair in Manhattan hotel room

Demi Lovato poses for 'spontaneous' nude midnight photoshoot for Vanity Fair in Manhattan hotel room

Demi Lovato has bared her soul - and a lot more - in a new Vanity Fair photoshoot.
The 23-year-old singer was photographed by Patrick Ecclesine at a Manhattan hotel at the end of last month.
In a post on the Vanity Fair website, Ecclesine describes how a vulnerable Lovato was still in mourning after the death of her great-grandfather the day before.

But the grief inspired her to take the plunge and do the soul-baring shoot, with three rules; no clothes, no make-up and no retouching.
Lovato, whose album Confident is released on October 16, told the publication: 'If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past day, it’s that life is too short.'
Ecclesine admitted that Lovato's team were initially concerned, because Lovato's great-grandfather Buddy Moore - who died at the end of last month - was such an integral part of her life.

She went on: 'I want to show the side of me that’s real, that’s liberated, that’s free. 
'What if we do a photoshoot where it’s totally raw? Super-sexy, but no make-up, no fancy lighting, no retouching, and no clothing. Let’s do it here, let’s do it now.'
Ecclesine noted it was half past midnight when the singer de-robed for the shoot, which includes a nude snap of her sat with back-turned to the camera while sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

In another, the make-up free singer cups her chest while sitting in a bath full of water.
There is also a shower scene photo, where Demi stands under the water while wearing a clinging black T-shirt.
The shoot took place at the Greenwich Hotel and, as Ecclesine described: 'Lovato and I worked in near silence, making our way through the hotel room, communicating with subtle gestures, nods, and tilts of the head.'
