New Releases

"This was so exciting and so different to see my naked body from all these angles! I had to tell my very shy housemate I would be about taking naked photos on the weekend. I am inspired daily by the paint swatches I use throughout my house, reminding me how wonderful I am and life is. The girls (chickens) have become my companions during hard lockdown, they never complain and produce great food. This was an amazing experience!"

""In sala ho un tavolo grande e marrone, ho pensato fosse perfetto per rotolarcisi in uno shooting, quindi gran parte delle foto sono state fatte li sopra! Il mio set è come me - disordinato! Amo piedi e gambe quindi ne troverete un bel pò, spero che vi piacerà. / I have this big brown table in the living room, I thought it was perfect to roll on for a photoshoot, so most of my photos are taken there. This photoshoot is like me - a mess! I love feet and legs so you will find quite a few, I hope you will enjoy it!"

"It's been such a pleasure repeating the experience of ISM. I played some feeling sexy music and as soon as I grabbed the camera and started shooting, I started to feel like a star. I love the feeling of being desired, smiling and playing with the camera is an instant ego boost for me. I think a lot of people could use an experience like this to reconnect with themselves. Also it offers you a memento of being alone feeling sensual and full of love energy."

"I found this whole experience so freeing, this is my first adult space I have ever had to myself. It was so liberating to be naked and completely myself in my complete own space which I am fleshing out to feel more like home. After this shoot I feel like I have shed yet another layer of myself, another layer of deeply rooted self hatred and shame, and feel lighter at the other end."

"I shot this series of photos in my house in Melbourne, I chose angles that captured the vibrant colours and forms of plants and me in my most natural state. I felt calm, enjoying the morning breeze on my skin, earth pressing through my toes and resting my face against a hard, icy brick wall. I experimented with tape to create "clothing" on my body without being covered, but rather create shapes through pressure and binding. Applying pressure to my body felt sensual and the discomfort of being bound was pleasurable. Binding myself in black wrapping ribbon symbolised a dark, sinister gift."

"I was a little flustered from swimming and being in the sun all day so I loved retreating inside into the cool to play with myself and nude expression. I adored wearing my lingerie and long stockings and dressing up for the shoot. I enjoyed removing my Honey Birdette wear slowly, teasing myself and unravelling. I was burning a candle throughout the shoot and spontaneously decided to drip the wax onto my stomach at the end which was such a fun sensation. I feel juicy and energised post-shoot!"

"I had a few goes at taking photos for the shoot over the last month, in different rooms of my house. For one I was in the kitchen so it was really exciting not knowing when my housemates would be up, and of course they came downstairs whilst I was in the middle of the shoot, but I got my clothes on before they came in luckily. I felt really good taking pics of myself, seeing myself at different angles than I'm used to."

"For the last year and a half I have been wanting to get out of my comfort zone and explore some parts of myself that I have been curious about. This folio became about exploring the parklands around Melbourne, and exploring my exhibitionism. The weather was perfect for a bushwalk, so I had my partner act as a lookout. It was a very fun set of photos to shoot, this is definitely not the last time I will be getting naked in nature!"

"I chose this space because it is very 'me' - filled with quirky tchotchkes, art, bold colour, and a bit of mess too. I wanted the shoot to be personal and authentic and besides, my bedroom is where I feel most intimate and vulnerable. I had to really push myself to be open and celebratory with aspects of myself that I often dismiss as being flawed. I am a photography amateur and it's the first time doing any kind of modelling so it was definitely a new experience!"

"I did the photo set in my apartment, in the morning, when I was alone. At first I was a bit nervous as I don't do selfies all the time. However, I relaxed in the process. After the shoot I felt pleased with myself and I think this shoot helped me to realize once again the beauty of my body, with all its perfections and imperfections."

"My latest ISM felt like an exploration of my body, I was finding out how great certain angles and poses looked and it sky rocketed my self confidence. This was the first time I'd done an outdoors nude shoot, I now feel more comfortable with being nude and feel like a sexy ass woman! I switched from indoors to outdoors multiple times! Please indulge in my luscious body, I have been made so beautifully I just love sharing myself!"

"In our everyday lives we subject our bodies and minds to constant criticism and we dissect every little thing about our appearance. Both societal stigma and our own inner voice can completely alter the way we feel in the world and exist around others. To strip everything back and analyse and play with and toy with my body was completely freeing. To completely reacquaint myself with my vagina and sexuality was a super fun time."

"I did this shoot in the morning light of my bedroom! The feeling of the sun's warmth on my skin, as well as the presence of my cat, helped me ease into the photo shoot. Who knew that taking self portraits could be a work out! Twisting in different positions, and HOLDING those positions, really makes those muscles work! Sometimes I'd tremble a bit and have to take the shot again. I didn't expect my cat to make any cameos (or rather, catmeos uhuhu), but he would often lay down and take a nap next to me. You can see him in some of the photos!"

"Ah, where have I been all those years! Whilst I was living in the big city for a decade, I wouldn't have believed you then if you said that I would move to the countryside. Looking at my 2009 (!) portfolio "lively", I thought it was way time to create a new one for ISM. I feel like it was yesterday though. Of course I would use the place I live at, as I am on 3 acres. I just had to keep an eye on what my neighbors were doing!"

"I did my shoot in my bedroom which is the place I feel most at home in. I like being surrounded by the clutter in my room. While taking the photos was very confronting for me, afterwards I felt really comfortable with myself. Doing this shoot has really helped me accept my body for how it is."
