Everyone loves a nun, especially the misbehaving ones Zoso captures in 'Oh Forgive Me Father, for I Have Sinned.' These images depict nuns doing everything they shouldn't, from putting on makeup to smoking, drinking and showing a little leg.
We've featured a number of nun-focused pieces in the past. Check out some of my favorites below.
Implications - These are definitely not things you would expect to see if you were to walk into a monastery, but that's exactly what makes them so interesting. These images take accepted norms of what nuns are supposed to be like and chucks them straight out the window. You'll never be able to look at a nun the same.
