Toned, handsome, and all very naked, meet the group of muscular men set to feature in the 'world's first' nude calendar solely devoted to red-haired models.
The makers of 2017 Red Hot Exposed - which features models selected from around the world - claim it is the 'world's first ever nude ginger calendar', with each of the 12 participants chosen not only because of their remarkable good looks, but because of their flame-red locks.
Posing in a series of risque images, the models are pictured doing athletic poses in front of a dark backdrop, which helps to highlight their bright red hair.

The annual calendar, created by London-based photographer Thomas Knights, 32, and designer and creative director Elliott James Frieze, 36, from Cardiff, Wales, aims to showcase 'fair and untanned skin, freckles and black and mixed race redheads'.
Thomas told Daily Mail Online: 'Exposed is our first ever nude calendar - tastefully shot of course.
'It's officially the world's first ever nude ginger calendar.'
Proceeds from the 2017 calendar will be donated to the Diana Award, which was created in honor of the late Princess Diana.
Thomas said he hopes the calendar, which is on sale internationally, will be 'huge' and raise 'loads of money' for charity.

Models featured in next year's calendar include Lukas Bo for January, Scott Henry for February, Tom Peers for March, Mike Del Moro for April, Robin Van Der Krogt for May and Daniel Newman for June.
Daniel, who is currently starring in television show The Walking Dead, is also the cover star of the calendar.
The second half of the year stars Joseph Merry for July, Philippe Horowicz for August, Jonathan Wrynne for September, Seth Fornea for October, Corbin Furstenburg for November, Tommy Brady for December.
Last month, Thomas and Elliott unveiled Red Hot II, an exhibition dedicated to red-haired figures that was inspired by the sculpture of Ancient Greece.

Collaboration: As well as the calendar, featuring Tom Peers, left, and Jonathan Wrynne, right, Thomas and Elliott are also launching a book of 128 of the images on October 14 in London
The team are also launching a book of 128 of the images on October 14 in London.
'Red Hot II is about celebrating difference. Championing an alternative view of beauty, currently saturated with sun-kissed images of models.
'It’s empowering - owning socially perceived flaws and being comfortable in your own skin,' said Thomas.
Earlier this year, Daily Mail Online reported that Thomas originally launched the Red Hot project in a bid to 're-brand the ginger male stereotype'.
In just a few years, he has since created a book, Red Hot 100, put on exhibitions in cities around the world - including New York - and created a calendar celebrating people with red hair.
