Shae Detar hand colors her photographs, the way it was done in the days before color processing. She experiments in her darkroom for painted images that range from whimsical to elegant to haunting. Nothing like this on Instagram.

Strikingly beautiful stuff there!
Yes indeed. And her work is very unique, too, agree.
Wow, I really like these ones, thanks for sharing!!!
Very glad you enjoyed.
Beautiful! These make me want to paint on digital prints again, as I don’t have much desire to go to the darkroom again but it does have such a specific aesthetic..and she exploits it perfectly!
And we might share similar thoughts on Instagram…
So you should! (And I bet yes on the Instagram)
kinda’ cool and kinda’ quirky!
Yes exactly. Quirky in the best way.
Beautiful work!
I have seen some fantastic photography on Instagram – not hand coloured but some beautiful work on there all the same.
Thanks for the prompt on Instagram. Maybe I should look again!
