Photos (and Films) by Mia Donovan

The multitalented Mia Donovan is a Montreal-based artist, photographer, and filmmaker who holds a BFA from Concordia University and whose projects include a documentary film on fellow Canadian Lara Roxx, the HIV-positive pornstar who was at the center of a notorius adult industry crisis and quarantine a few years ago—but we have a feeling her resumé won't interest you as much as will the photos in her latest project:

"In her most recent work, Stripped, Donovan takes a look at desire commodifed—sex as it is produced, packaged, bought and sold within the sex industry. Stripped is a series of colour photographs of women who provide subject and body to the adult entertainment industry. These lush, large-scale images operate more like documentary photographs than as portraits as Donovan represents the women as they appear on the job. Donovan's subjects are shown not only in the various locations where they work, but more importantly, they are presented in the dress and mien of their work personas."

Translation: hot porn babes in various states of undress on and off the set. It may be art with a higher purpose, but we can't help thinking there's a lot to appreciate on a less noble level as well.
