A hacker put nude images of Emma Holten on the Internet -- but she refuses to be ashamed of her naked body. A new photo series featuring Holten nude, shot by a photographer of her own choice, allow the activist to show her body on her own terms.

She recognizes that this avenue is not open to many victims of revenge porn -- but hopes that her actions will help some of them regardless.
