Along with Helmy Hurt, Gerhard Riebicke was the set photographer for the UFA film «Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit. Ein Film über moderne Körperkultur» (1925), directed by Wilhelm Prager and Nicolaus Kaufmann (casting, among others, Jack Dempsey and Leni Riefenstahl). This image still captures the general mood of the earlier FKK nudist movement which stressed the importance of movement and exercise outdoors. (quoted from src)
