Tell me your fave!

This is a big question, but i want to see your favourite image on the site! Oh yes, I am well aware that there are nearly 500,000 images on here! But I often find that there will be a standout image in each folio that I fall in love with.
And if you're a contributor, tell me your favourite image of your own! I want to get a glimpse into exactly what each individual likes to see! I love creative shots, clever uses of props and mirrors, so shots that tick those boxes are always winners for me.

There are so many to die for in Billie_Jean's shoots from 2016, but image 130 from 'Rosy Crucifixion' is never far from my mind: https://ishotmyself.com/public/view_gal … rucifixion

Re: Tell me your fave!

oh my gosh there are just so many. I always think about Noefois' folio, palabrasfrescas. It won the art prize in a month where my primary was in the running - my first month at Feck HQ. Mine was the deciding vote, and I voted for her instead of myself! No regrets. These two images haunt me in the best way....

Re: Tell me your fave!

Fantastic question Piper!

I have two favourite images from my first folio "Rubellite - #102 because I look comfortable and relaxed and I think this shows I had really settled into the project, and #241 because there are like 4 of me and that was a really cool accidental mirror shot!

From my second folio "Sugar_Snap" my favourite image is #180 because I really like the soft curves of my tummy.

From other contributors, my standouts are images #048 and #193 from laura_j's "paradise_pink" because well.. you know how much glitter and sprinkles excite me <3 <3

Re: Tell me your fave!

ooh nice choices from your folios Mikaela...

Fun fact about your primary! It actually drove me crazy because it's like over 400 images (go girl!) and I edited it once, I was sure of it, because it was such a stand out folio - but then somehow it disappeared! So I had to edit it again haha. I spent a lot of time with this primary <3 but it's so beautiful I could spend a whole lot more

Re: Tell me your fave!

Omg SUCH good choices!! Viva I love getting glimpses into shoots from before my time with ISM, those shots are cool as hell. And Mikaela I KNEW you would pick Laura_J's shoot haha, I can read you like a book I have to agree with you on #180 from 'sugar_snap' - the curves of your body are absolutely out of this world.
Viva I'd love to see your fave shot from a folio of yours! <3

Re: Tell me your fave!

from my first, probably this one

i just know my body and i can see how thick and soft my pubes were, how intense my gaze, and I remember myself, so young and confrontational, dirty and feral and firm, strong and growing and beautiful and confused, this picture sums up who I was then and in some ways an essence of who I am inside.   

from my second, i went really fancy with lights and everything, I felt like a movie star and I just think these shots are hot

from my third shoot I love this face, again all about that... part of me that looks deep, sees into, and knows you are looking. I found this part of myself a bit challenging to grow into - in my life I always felt "too much", too intense, not inviting enough. I always felt too intelligent for most men. But now I know who I am

I'm a lot of things though! and I like my smile too <3

I've just submitted my fourth ever shoot and I'm quite nervous about it! That little baby-viva unlined wide-eyed face isn't exactly mine anymore. I hope my new shoot makes me proud and feel connected to myself, just like these others.

Re: Tell me your fave!

Ok we're officially waving goodbye to my bogus rule of ONE image to rule them all haha - too many to choose from. Viva I really distinctly remember the first time I ever saw your primary. I think one of your pics might have been a free daily image or something? I remember being BLOWN the HECK away when I saw your bush! I remember thinking it was the most incredible, dense, soft-looking bush I had ever seen. Still to this day I have never seen anything like it! And now I get to be friends with the amazing woman attached to said bush - what a blessing!
Aforementioned bush shots:

Re: Tell me your fave!

Ok i'm gonna share my faves now! And yes there were too many to pick just one haha, so i'm breaking my own rule too!

A first fave is this shot from Essenden's handsfree shoot. I love everything Essenden does but I particularly love the way this shoot kinda referenced art history / the reclining nude. So beaut!

This pic by Kaye_C is also incredibly beautiful, every pic she takes is so thoughtfully composed. I wish Kaye could do a shoot every day!

Lucy_P has a special place in my heart for a few reasons but honestly the moment I decided she was the coolest person ever was when I saw this awesome shoot - the religious imagery, dusty pink light and vintage playboy?! Too many amazing things at once!

The gorgeous light play in Maggie_Finn's handsfree shoot is so incredibly beautiful, love this shot

I'm obsessed with everything Nicole_S does, and this cool abstract shot with mirrors and water is fkn amazing

This shot by Lucy_H is so clever and well executed! So simple but powerful. This shoot won the art prize the month my primary went up and while I was aiming for the art prize, when I saw that Lucy won I could see exactly why, such a deserving winner!

I love this shot from Rose_L's primary because it's just such a clever idea! The mirror and the polariods! It left me wishing i'd thought of it first!

Sativah has done some incredible shoots and this lemony / tennis ball yellow masterpiece is no exception

This pic from Sehra's shoot is also nothing short of amazing. Definitely one of my fave shoots I have seen.

And last but not least, this shot by Joan_W because it's the first ISM picture that ever made me laugh out loud!

Arrrrrgh so hard to choose! I love so many shots from so many amazing people but one that always makes me giggle is cat_power by Junie, as it has my absolute favourite and perfectly timed pet photo bomb I've ever seen.

Re: Tell me your fave!

Viva; does this mean you've reloaded and that we get to see a new folio sometime soon? I must have done something pretty good in a previous life to deserve this. Just when will it happen? I've always been a big fan of 'Shh', and especially no.90.
