In an interview about her affinity for featuring the female form in her work, DeTar says, “Shooting nudes, I did make a very conscious decision to portray the
in a way where women didn’t feel like a sexualized object. 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.”
