Meet the Artist | Norfolk & Suffolk Female Empowerment Photographer
The Vision behind Untamed Muses
My name is Samantha Cortes.
Hey darling, I'm Ess.
A late diagnosed Autistic- ADHDer , mother of 3 Baddie, former alt-model, and a Fine Art Empowerment Boudoir photograp.HER based in Norfolk and Suffolk, Devoted to the Art of Female Self-Reclamation..
I created Untamed Muses because I see the need to reclaim the narrative. We live in a world that treats us like consumables, constantly forcing us into boxes, policing the way we look, the way we act, our pleasure, or demanding we devote ourselves to catering to and pleasing everyone else.
The system is rigged, I see it, and I’m completely over it—and you should be too.
There is nothing more beautiful and powerful than being your authentic self and doing it without an apology.
Together, we will create fine-art imagery that help you move from 'hidden' to 'Untamed.'
Body-Positive Fine Art Photography in Norfolk & Suffolk
With me, you are completely safe. Safe to be exactly who you are, no masks, no performance. Safe to get comfortable taking up space and to use your voice.
Having watched my own body change through motherhood and life, I know exactly what it feels like on both sides of the lens. I capture your essence with reverence, intention, passion and intuition .
I’m here to be your hype-woman, to hold your hand while you burn the script and feel fully seen.
Unlearning Beauty Standards Through Real Representation
I believe with every fibre of my being that we need to see REAL , real bodies, in every shape, raze, size, age, & form, real people! with your personality being the magic sauce in any recipe.
For too long, we’ve been fed heavily airbrushed, narrow ideals of what beauty "should" look like.
By capturing authentic, diverse women, we begin to unlearn those impossible standards together. Your body doesn't need fixing, changing, or shrinking. It deserves to be normalised, honoured, and celebrated exactly as it is today.
'Unapologetically You' Starts Right Here.
YOU ARE A LIVING, BREATHING POEM.
I'm here to help you see the Magic that's been there all along.
