Shae DeTar

Shae Acopian DeTar (born 1977 or 1978) is an American fine art photographer and former model, based in Los Angeles.[1][2] She's known for colorful, hand-colored photographs of nude women, often posed in nature.[3]

DeTar was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Pennsylvania and New York.[4] When she was 18, she began modeling, mostly in Europe.[4] She studied fashion at Parsons School of Design, and only took up photography when she was about 32.[4] DeTar's aesthetic is inspired by magazine collages, and she has resurrected the old tradition of hand-colored photographs, highlighting her models in vivid, exagerated colors.[1][5]

In 2016 DeTar was awarded "best editorial" by Photo District News.[6]

In 2023 she published Another World, a collection of photographs from the first 12 years of her career.[7][8][9][10] She was also featured in Charlotte Jansen's 2017 photography book, Girl on Girl: Art and Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze, among other women photographers of female nudes.[11]
