New York-based artist Shae DeTar, who we’ve featured before, combines photography and painting to create otherworldly photographic prints featuring nudes.

I am so used to the media feeding us objectified, sexualized imagery of what it is that they think a female body means to people, and I’m clearly not alone in desiring to portray women’s bodies in a more powerful way than that.”
