It was a posed photograph made for Culo by Mazzucco, a book project described at the time as a collection celebrating the female form, particularly the backside. Extra’s December 13, 2011 report described Scherzinger as posing for the book and attributed the project’s cultural motivation to her.
Extra quoted Scherzinger as saying: “I didn’t have anyone on set except for the photographer, and I wanted to pay homage to where I come from — my Hawaiian heritage.” The report identified her as a singer and X Factor star.
