New Releases

"My levels of adrenaline were high during this shoot. As my housemate is home ALL the time thanks to COVID-19, it made this shoot experience quite interesting. There were multiple times were I was perched on my windowsill, which leads into the kitchen, and had to quickly scramble off it and run to the other side of my room so he wouldn't see me. I then decided to go into the backyard for some more privacy. We have an outdoor bath, which looks beautiful, but was completely covered in spiders (not ideal when you are completely naked). It was probably my favourite ISM to date, and it made me feel beautiful in my body again, and also finally got me out of wearing trackies all day."

"Estoy muy emocionada por hacer este portafolio, me parece una excelente forma de expresarse uno mismo y de conocerse. Considero que toda persona debe sentirse orgullosa de su cueepo y amarse de forma incondicional. Estas fotos en la privacidad de mi casa donde tengo la libertad para ser mas sensual. / I am very excited to make this portfolio, I think it is an excellent way to express yourself and get to know yourself. I believe that everyone should be proud of their body and love each other unconditionally. I took these photos in the privacy of my house where I have the freedom to be more sensual."

"I shot mostly on a sunny Friday morning, and I was thinking about how fun and liberating it was. It made me realise the taboo around certain parts of the body and how silly that is, we should be able to be nude and proud! During my shoot my housemate came home and barged into my room, not knowing what I was doing, which was quite unexpected and funny! We had a good laugh about it. Afterwards I felt great - really relaxed and calm, and kind of confident!"

"I must say this second shoot felt a bit trickier than my first ISM shoot. I wish I could have made it more fun, by going outdoors for example. Not being allowed to go to the beach or countryside is annoying! In fact, I tried taking a couple of pictures outdoors this morning, and as I walked outside with my camera and coffee in hand (still completely dressed in my pyjamas), my neighbour came out of his back door and yelled at me "Booh! Go away now!". I am unsure whether they saw me taking some pictures indoors prior to this or if this was just random but it sure was frustrating. I do hope that I get to take photos out in nature someday!"

"My art/music room is just full of my nerdy dreams - Star Wars figures, guitars, drums, and some cheeky knives so it was more fun to incorporate the background. On day one for the bedroom shoot I had rap and a lot of Nicki Minaj and RTJ playing as I needed to pump myself up and feel energised. The second day, for the music room shoot, I felt so much more relaxed so I just listened to carefree beats like Glass Animals and Waxx. I was a bit nervous about making myself look "pretty" but realised that's not what this is about - once I realised that, I felt a lovely flood of confidence roll over me and I got down and dirty. I found new angles of my body I enjoyed and even found some freckles that I didn't know I had."

"When I got a message from Yuno I thought - "Whaaat, not just doing nude selfies, but do it TOGETHER? Yaaaaaaas!" She is my really close friend, we had such a great time, the shoot wasn't an exception. We did this shoot in the morning and I thought I wouldn't be able to open my eyes properly, I was so sleepy. But I was so wrong! Immediately we started to create some strange poses, have fun and just enjoy the process. I felt like I'd had 5 big cups of coffee, but healthier, I really like the vibe of this folio, it gave me energy to be super productive for the rest of the day. Thank you! <3" - Galina

"I did this shoot in my room where I moved in just two weeks ago. I love the wallpaper and I think it looks great in the pictures. Most of the pictures were taken right after waking up, as you can tell by my face, because it's when I get the best lighting in my room, and also because it's when I found it more comfortable to take my clothes off and have a bit of fun with myself before starting the day. I feel very happy with a lot of the pictures and I would definitely recommend it to others and do it again myself."

"I shot this portfolio on a really beautiful day during isolation. I decided to do this at a friend's place because I live alone so I could choose to make their place my social bubble! It was really funny because travelling between the bedroom and the back yard I was butt naked and could be seen through the windows of other people's houses which made me a bit shy, but I read somewhere that it's really good for your mental health and vitamin D absorption if you expose your anus to the sun so I gave it a crack! (pun intended)."

"I wanted to create a surreal, but gentle and cheerful background. I also used the books, jewelry boxes, pillows, and dried leaves already in my room to fill the space with my personality. I wanted to make strawberry lemonade with fresh rosemary to show the actions possible in this world of mine, and bring sensory elements of taste, smell, and touch into the shoot. Lastly, I had fun posing over a mirror, playing with different reflections and colors, to add to the surrealism of my universe."

"I shot this around my apartment, which made me nervous at first because I have floor to ceiling windows so any of my neighbours could have seen, but once I got into it the idea of someone catching me mid-pose added to the thrill. I love the fact that doing yoga has made my little body more flexible. I've gained some weight in the past few months, and afterwards I was thinking about how illuminating it's going to be to reflect on photos I've taken of myself in the past where I was clearly a lot more performative with my body whereas now I really just take ownership and enjoy my body, curves and all."

"I am lucky enough enough to have space and a funky backyard whilst our isolation takes place. It was the first time shooting myself, and I'm a rare selfie taker, so this folio was simply a reflection of me trying to figure out how my body works in front of a camera and trying to find my 'sexy'. Going through the photos, I was really quite proud of myself and in this world of editing, I didn't find much I would change."

"Ho realizzato questo set di foto nel mio appartamento ad Amsterdam. Gli scatti sono di ieri 3 Maggio al primo mattino. Ho cominciato vestita come ogni giorno e poco a poco ho scoperto il mio corpo rivelando le mie parti intime. Nulla di eccezionale e successo durante il processo più che sentirmi rilassata e in pace con me stessa. Mi sento molto bene dopo questa esperienza. / I shot this folio in my apartment yesterday on the 3rd of May 2020 in the morning. I started with my usual clothes on and then I started to discover my body slowly and show to the camera my intimate parts. Nothing special happened during the process of taking the pictures, more than feeling relaxed and step by step more confident in my movements. I feel really good after this experience."

"I've always been drawn to the whimsical or raw photography of people or landscapes. There's so many artists out there that I love. One off the top of my head is Sally Mann's controversial black and white photography. And the many artists on a page I follow called Project Uno/Project Soul. I really like the use of the body as a sculptural form. The way they explore the body in non classical perception. I like images that organic or hypnotic."

"Playing with rope, it's not always a sexy thing for me. I really like doing it with friends, it's just a nice activity to do together, cause you can get kind of involved in what you're doing. You don't have to talk, but you're still hanging out. You're learning, and of course, touching each other, which is just really nice I think. For too many people, the only touch they get is from their lovers. And it sucks when you're single, and you don't have anyone to touch. I just like to have activities I can do with my pals, and rope bondage is a really great one of those."
