"I wanted to show how proud I am of my body in my twilight years and tell the world that age is no barrier. Being naked allowed my free spirit to roam, and the world was my oyster. Using a camera (rather than my phone) for the photo shoot made things so much easier, but balancing in the garden, sometimes being a contortionist and capturing angles of my body left me thinking - "What fun, but don't drop this expensive camera!" It felt slightly risque and naughty outside in the elements, but added to the fun aspect of the photo shoot. Overall a memorable experience."

"Here I am again on ISM, 4 years later! As many, I had some extra time for me this year and this is why this time, I shot myself over several months - you may notice the evolution of hair style! A few months ago, I moved to Berlin, where I shot most of the pictures. On a Sunday I decided to finish the shooting, but the breakdown of heaters in my flat that day made it particularly challenging! This winter is very cold, but the snow always makes me happy. I'm pretty sure my neighbours saw - lucky them."

"Wow! What an experience! Lately I have been feeling really invisible. It might sound strange for a tomboy with dreads and piercings to feel invisible but the city I'm currently in is a big place, and I have been a little lonely. I ended up shooting in my loungeroom, as I love lolling about on my mattress and being surrounded by my books and paintings. Shooting for ISM helped me to feel present, beautiful, sexy, and visible. It felt like coming out of my shell, and I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them."

"I decided to shoot at my house. The interior and exterior is already quite creative and has a whole lot of character. I wanted to shoot on a day where there was that nice spring sunshine. This project helped me to strip down my inhibitions. Expressing myself in this raw, authentic nude state felt very empowering and uplifting. Getting creative with my body, I explored areas I'd never even seen before. I felt sexy, confident and empowered."

"Whilst on my road trip adventure, I specifically aim to stop in locations that are private and beautiful. Although I would say that the weather that most appeals to me is warm and humid, there's something that's very raw and human about a desert setting. I felt as though I was tapping into something very animalistic here. I did have to be careful though, there are cactus and jagged Jack Pines to watch for, but once you submerge yourself into this setting, the photos and sensations can come out quite beautifully. To explore my body as I explore the world and I hope you enjoy catching a glimpse into my exciting and adventurous life."

"I was hoping to find a park I could strip down in but unfortunately that proved difficult. I wanted to really play with the different aspects of my personality so of course it was going to end up super diverse and higgledy-piggledy, like myself, a patchwork of images it turned out to be. It left me feeling playful, happy and even a little sexy. I was surprised at myself at how at first I became quite self critical, then a few images made me giggle at myself, then after that, I relaxed, let go and from then on I started to love them all."

"I'm a very enthusiastic and vocal fan of Doctor Who so I decided to pay homage to this great show by including my handmade knitted TARDIS jumper, TARDIS clock, a mini TARDIS, a First Doctor replica ring, and the Fourth Doctor's scarf that my Mum made for my partner. I had the mirror leaning against my neighbour's fence and I almost had a heart attack several times when the wind picked up and wobbled it, threatening to fall on me. There was also what I would personally consider to be an unnecessary amount of bees on the passionfruit vine that hangs over the fence. At one point when I was bending over to adjust the rug, a bee landed on my butt, thankfully though it decided that I wasn't worth pollinating or stinging and promptly flew away."

"I did this shoot in my 1 bedroom flat. I was lucky, it was good sunny weather, it's fantastic for my city! I tried to catch up my emotions and create some new poses with my body. It was not easy to do - to be real and natural in front of the mirror. I had some social stereotypes about beauty, and I can be a bit critical about my appearance sometimes. Despite my self-criticism, I thought I did a good job, I was relaxed and tried to do my best! The shots with the mirror helped me to accept my individual traits of my appearance, and I was pleased by the results!"

"I've been naked sunbathing a lot recently, although today was pretty overcast I still enjoyed being present in this unique spot. Sometimes it feels a bit spooky being so alone here, every time a branch snapped I would freak out a bit, but towards the end of the shoot I felt so at ease. I hope I can visit this special spot again sometime, it feels amazing to get away from the city and feel completely alone, even if it was daunting initially."

"When creating my portfolio I was trying to express different layers of my personality and ego. The first images in the checked Burberry garments represent my bad girl roots, all the way to my alter ego Lady Marmalade burlesque sensual side, to my gypsy psychic at the end. During the shoot I was aware I had put on weight however, I was comfortable. I feel so comfortable and in love with every part of me, I was excited and sparked by myself. I felt erotic by my own images and looks and body. I fell in love with myself, all over again, after every image looking at every body part, every expression, I felt alive, I felt like me."

"Realmente como fue por la manana no paso nada fuera de lo normal, no os quiero enganar, me puse musica que me inspirara y empece a experimentar con la forma de mi cuerpo. Despues de hacerlo me senti­ realmente bien, me senti­ guapa, con el poder de decision sobre lo que hago y lo que no. / Actually as it was in the morning, nothing out of the ordinary happened, I don't want to fool you, I put on some music that inspired me and started to experiment with the shape of my body. After I did it I felt really good, I felt beautiful, with the power to decide what I do and what I don't do."

"Come for a walk with me through the farm? We can climb twisty trees, lay in the hammock and pick big zucchinis from the garden. It's a slippery walk up the eucalypt branch into the treehouse, where I like to get off. The adrenaline makes me horny, I dangle my legs over the edge and roll closer. The dam is so fresh on a hot day like this one. Plums and berries so juicy and sweet, I became sticky with sugar and sweat. It feels wonderful to shower in the glow of sunset, before making a nest of pillows to enjoy tea and chocolate in."

"I started my shoot outdoors in a very public place along a busy road in St Kilda. I tried submerging myself in the trees which made for a nerve-racking yet exciting start to the ISM shoot. When it started to get too busy and the trees just weren't doing what they were supposed to, I moved indoors where I could get a little more creative and naked too. My favourite part of the shoot was the way I felt after completing my shoot - very empowered and self appreciating."

"A girl gone, ghosted over the passing of time and light trickling through lenses. Breasts exposed, film exposed, pixels exposed, a dire call of "look at me", crying out into the street, out into the numbers and files, the digital places where I needed to be touched. I don't need the same things I once did. I will always be fascinated by my own self, my own body. I love the girl I was. The ghost of a girl that needs, that wants you to look at me - I made these pictures, edited them, and said goodbye to myself. I'm letting her rest now."

"In Spain it's very hot so we're almost always naked, even my Aunty who has super big boobs. She's naked all the time, in front of my boyfriends and everything and she doesn't care because it's her body. Like why do men be topless all the time and we can't. And also my parents are nudists so my parents go to the nudist beaches all the time so since I was super young, I am used to that."
