Hilary_M//"BerlinSunlight"
"I shot myself in my apartment over several mornings to get good lighting. I hadn't done this kind of shoot in a while so I felt a bit rusty. I was thinking about past times I've had a lot fun with photographers and channeled that energy. The weather is exceptionally great right now in Berlin and I enjoyed having the windows open and enjoying the sunlight and birdsongs."

Amelia_E//"StolenKiss"
"I went to my favourite spot by the Yarra river for this shoot. It was a cold day but it oddly didn't affect me. I picked flowers around my neighbourhood to incorporate into the photos. A lover drove me to the spot so I was stealing kisses between shots. There were many insects to look out for, like huge purple ants and many wasps. In one shot I'm up in a tree. a wasp landed on my foot! I had to stay very still as to not make it grumpy. I then went for a swim. The cold shock felt like a reset. A couple people walked past and saw my nude body. They were just passing through though so it wasn't a big deal. I am so happy to do I Shot Myself in a place where I feel the closest to myself."

Maggie_Finn//"self_care_day"
"This video is a little glimpse into my home and my little self care routine. I rarely make time to look after myself as far as grooming goes as my jobs always entitle me to be plain and practical. So here is me slogging away in the shower and moisturising my supple skin from head to toe. I forget how much of an effort it is to scrub down, wash hair, pluck stray hairs and moisturise. I was exhausted by the end of it but daaayum did my skin feel soft."

Gena//"city_of_girls"
"I ended up all over the house but my favourite setting was on the grass outside. I love being naked in my backyard, it makes me feel so free. I'm lucky that I live in a share house with a bunch of girls and we all support each other's lack of clothes! I chose to shoot on a really beautiful sunny day and everything felt so bright and joyful. It feels so good to take pictures of myself knowing I love every inch of my body and I'm just so excited to share my cute photos with everyone."

Elayne//"race_the_sun"
"I had been shooting some racy stuff with my boyfriend in this paddock...we finished up, but the light was just so beautiful I felt like shooting this ISM too. Unfortunately I didn't realise how super fast the sun would set...even when it looks beautiful in my eyes it's so dark on the camera! I had a lot of fun trying to capture the beauty of the world and myself in this moment and experimenting with the flash. I hope you like it."

Rosalie_G//"TwilightHilight"
"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."

Maryse//"dans_l_ombre"
"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."

Shayna_K//"rise_to_light"
"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."

Kyra//"raw_state"
"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."

Florence_S//"body_oasis"
"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."

Willow_B//"patchwork_girl"
"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."

Redbird//"timelady"
"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."

Eren_B//"goluboglazyy"
"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!"

Wendy_G//"cloud_bathing"
"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."

Gem_P//"MarmaladeGypsy"
"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."
