"I was at home in my bedroom when I took the photos. I really like my body, I love it, and I have photo shoots every now and then. It's very good for my condition and self-esteem. When I do it I always get excited, you can see my energy in my eyes. My favorite quote is; "The naked female body has an unearthly power of attraction" by Peter Kwiatkowski. The beautiful female body is often extolled in literature and art. It is associated with harmony, smoothness of lines, grace and femininity. Some quotes emphasise its physical beauty, while others draw attention to a woman's inner beauty and strength"
"I feel confident being naked, my skin is my clothes! And I also love challenges, so taking so many photos made my imagination work and acquire the skill of photographing with my feet. I am always glad that people can see and admire my young and athletic body, I am happy to share it with all of you! I took the photos in the apartment I rent, the neighbors might have seen a lot of interesting things in the windows while I was taking pictures of myself on the balcony, haha. I wish someone would take a picture of me from the side, because I think some of the attempts and poses looked very funny."
"For my second shoot, I travelled to the quiet suburbs to take photos in my friends' house and backyard. When everyone was at work, I got comfortable and started inside. I made use of the colours and fabrics in the living room. I really enjoyed trying out new positions and poses on front of the mirror. I finished the shoot in their gorgeous garden, and used the mirrors to play with light and show off my body for you. I did get bitten by a few bugs but it was so worth it. I felt so much more confident this time around. I'm so happy with how this shoot turned out and excited to share it with you!"
"I took these photos on my balcony - my favorite place in the apartment. There is a very beautiful view there, from which you can't tell at all that I live in the center of a big city! The balcony is completely glass, and it's even a pity that hardly anyone can see me from the ninth floor! By the way, I recently bought this sundress at a thrift store. It is very cute, and in general I think that tender images are much more sexy!"
"This enchanting photo shoot was taken in Thailand, a spontaneous adventure I embarked on in the heart of Asia following a breakup with my boyfriend. I'd spent my last bit of savings on a ticket and nearly missed my flight. But, I made the most of my situation and dived into the world of photography. In those moments, I rediscovered my own beauty, and it made me laugh with joy. As you gaze upon these images, you'll see the radiance of my spirit, filled with love and desire, and I hope it transcends the screen, igniting a spark of connection between us."
"I decided to shoot at home where I feel most comfortable to express myself. ISM has really opened my eyes to how I perceive myself and what is considered beauty. It has forever broken me out of my shell I've grown so used to over the years. It has been an opportunity of growth and acceptance and I am so thrilled to have the chance to do this! It is time for the expectations that society has managed to suffocate us with be lifted off and replaced with a fresh new perspective. Not only just superficial things, but to allow everyone's inner beauty blossom and thrive as it should."
"This project really helped me to accept and celebrate my body and my sexuality. I saw myself from different angles, in different positions and I saw myself just as I am. So beautiful and real. I could never believe that I'd be this comfortable making these photos, I was always very shy. It was not that easy though, and took longer than I anticipated. I shot myself in my roommate's room because there's no sun in mine (she actually doesn't know about that). After making photos for this project and seeing other people's photos, I fully understood that everybody is different and beautiful. Seeing real people naked gave me the realization that everything is right with me and I have nothing to be shy about. I am really happy to be a part of the community, so thank you."
"My first ISM shoot was the beginning of my journey into confidently loving my body and expressing my sexuality, so getting the chance to a second shoot where I've come into my body and have more confidence in showcasing my sexy self! Chronic illness flare up meant I leant into a more vanilla shoot, but I still enjoyed showing off every curve and roll I have!"
"I shot this folio early in the morning, just after sunrise, while everything was still quiet. The light coming through the window felt soft and private, like the world hadn't fully woken up yet. I love that time of day, because it makes me feel most connected to myself. I didn't plan every pose, I just let my body move naturally, still a little sleepy, which gave everything a raw, unpolished feel. There was a strange kind of calm in the air. Afterward, I wrapped myself in a blanket, made tea, and felt both exposed and at peace"
