It's empowering: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on posing nude

Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley says she finds it "empowering" when she strips for the cameras and poses nude.

"When you're shooting nude, there's always a sense of empowerment," she told W magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Meanwhile, Rosie, who has her own lingerie line for clothing brand Marks & Spencer, previously revealed she feels strongest when she poses in her underwear.

She said: "There can be backlash and people who think it's derogatory to women but everyone wears lingerie.

"The thing that I'm always mindful of is when that I'm posing for an image, the photographer needs to empower me and women. I want there to be a strength there, a strong sexiness in the final image."
