New Releases

"Hey! So this photoshoot was in my friend's house. It was my second photoshoot so I thought it might be hard to find more creative ideas and poses, but it was really easy surprisingly. The room was awesome and I loved using the 2 mirrors that were there in different angles and positions, using the reflection sometimes with one and sometimes with two of them. I also loved playing with the shades and sun and the plants in the room."

"I shot this folio in my little apartment. I spent a lot of time thinking about arranging my body amongst my tiny room with the racks of clothes and book shelves. I found that it was difficult to shoot photos as a selfie especially being used to having others shoot the photos of me instead. Every now and then I would find a really cool pose or idea which I'd spend a while taking photos on. I originally thought that I'd get a lot of circus and dance pictures in but that proved to be hard with one hand. I ended up often having a more provincial theme instead."

"Me senti brillante, me senti luz, me senti en paz y relajada. Con eso en mi mente, me mentalize a mi misma entre sol, jugando con reflejos, colores y objetos. / I feel bright, I feel light, I feel peaceful and relaxed. And in my mind I was thinking about all these beautiful strong women that wake up every day and walk, they give birth, they fight, they create, and they are capable to stand up every time, even in the most difficult times. With that in my mind, I picture myself between the sun, playing with reflections, colors, objects."

"I did this shoot in my bedroom, the only space of privacy that I can call my own. It was mid-morning when I started, as this is when the sunlight comes directly into my room, and my household is at its quietest. My bedroom opens up to the backyard, so in reality it isn't particularly private (the neighbours can also see in), so a breach of privacy was always playing on my mind when I was shooting myself. I felt comfortable seeing myself nude, but I wasn't comfortable with others seeing me - it really highlighted the importance of consent to me. Somewhat unexpectedly my father came out to the backyard, so I had to sneakily go about shooting myself. It was an interesting exercise in creativity! I felt great afterwards, so comfortable, confident and self-assured."

"Lieber Herr G.,
Zurueckgelassen? Alleine zu Hause heisst Freiheit. Abstreifen von Huellen, von Kleidern. Meine Haut ist meine und nur ich entscheide. Wenn du die Tuer hinter dir geschlossen hast, zergehe ich endlich in mir selbst. Haenge Waesche auf, rieche das Gras, halte meinen Kopf unter Wasser...haettest du eine Ahnung, was du verpasst, du wueredest mich nie wieder verlassen. Du und deine Besitzansprueche. Ha!
Alma
Dear Mr. G, Left behind? To be home alone means freedom instead. Shedding shells, clothes. My skin belongs to me and no one else, I make the decisions. Once you've closed the door behind you, I finally melt within myself. Hang the laundry, smell the grass, holding my head under water, ah pleasure...if you had any idea what you are missing out on, you'd never leave me again. You and your claims of possesion. Ha!
Alma"

"I had NEVER taken a naked photo before this and to say I was awkward and shy at the beginning would be the understatement of the century! I found myself critiquing the way I looked in the first few photos and deleting ones because I didn't think they were conventionally attractive enough. By about photo 80 I kinda just thought fuck it. I stopped looking at the photos after each one to see if they were good enough and just went for it! I ventured from the safety of my room to my balcony which was a pretty big step, seeming as literally anyone could see me and I don’t doubt a few poor fellas copped an eyeful. Apologies to them! I've found an exciting new way to express myself and I have to say I'm loving myself sick at the moment if it's not too bold of me to say!"

"I actually do not look in the mirror a lot. I don't see myself naked ever but seeing what I really look like? That was a big step. I was deleting a lot of photos and then I stopped and thought - "Why am I deleting? This is what I look like". I'm pretty afraid of vaginas too so taking a photo of it - it was like meeting an old friend for the first time! I feel like I'm part of a special club now that I've taken naked pictures of myself. I feel different but I can't really say why - it's just within myself I think. My thought process was like - "Okay go on the couch and see how you can fold yourself up on it!" because it's hard to make every picture different."

"I moved overseas this year, to Canada, and found myself a stranger in a new country. Having a hard time feeling anchored, grounded, in this new life. Fortunately, the same sun shines everywhere! I am, and probably always will be in a love affair with sun beams. Holographic fun, rainbows, sparkles, light rays and sun spots playing on my skin are the ultimate turn on."

"Since this was my first time doing anything like this, it took me a very long time to figure out how best to do it. I felt uninspired at first, but the more I looked at the photos of my body the more I was encouraged. For this "first time" shoot, I thought the mostly white back drop was fitting, I tried with some props but was mostly satisfied with just my body as the focus. I did it for so long that I forgot to eat. Most unusual for me. I'm sure my neighbours saw. They should be so lucky."

"I have been so excited to contribute to ISM again! I had a nice little date with myself in my house. It was freezing cold so I kept my house socks on to stay warm but also keep a comfortable and playful attitude. My cats were unimpressed that I was moving about so much while they were trying to nap. My neighbours decided that a Sunday afternoon was the perfect time to do some gardening just outside my lounge room window so I had to be very careful about where I was flashing!"

"Estas fotos me las tomé un Sábado por la tarde en Mayo, en mi apartamento de Granada (España) donde vivo con mi pareja. Me acababa de tomar una ducha porque hacía bastante calor. Hacía buena luz y me sentía realmente inspirada. Así que me puse los pendientes que me regaló mi novio y me puse a hacer el photoshoot. Lo que intento transmitir en mis fotos es la naturalidad, la confianza, el amor propio, la apreciación de los pequeños detalles del cuerpo a los que normalmente no les hacemos caso. Después del photoshoot, cuando vi las fotos, me sentí muy satisfecha porque creo que hice justo lo que quería. / These photos were taken on a Saturday afternoon in May, in my apartment in Granada (Spain) where I live with my partner. I had just taken a shower because I was really hot. There was good light to shoot and I felt really inspired. So I put on the earrings that my boyfriend gave to me and I started to do the photoshoot. What I'm trying to show in my photos is being natural, the confidence I have, my self-love, the appreciation to the little things that usually don't catch our attention. Afterwards, I saw the photos and I thought I did exactly what I wanted."

"This was my favourite shoot yet. I felt like I was capturing my essence, which made me really comfortable. I spend a lot of time in my bedroom these days, and as a result have made it into a really beautiful space, so it's nice to think that the world is going to see it. I got really turned on during this one, I suppose I was feeling pretty sexy. It was funny, my window goes out to a communal area in our house so I had to tell all of my housemates to not look in. They were cooperative, but I still did a lot of ducking out of the way when they walked past. After I finished, I closed my curtains and had a few spectacular orgasms in celebration. YUM."

"A shoot in the places I feel make me most comfortable. Surrounded by colours and sparkling mirrors and cushions and bubbles. This was playful and cozy. I also shot some pictures among nature, looking at how natural forms in nature mimicked or complimented my body. I loved getting down among the plants! I couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole shoot! It was such a fun time looking for different props like garden rakes or mirrors to get creative with!"

"This shoot was soft and warm and sweet. I was visiting Melbourne which is considerably colder than where I live and the sun had finally come out. So I swanned around dressing myself in sunlight and my own saliva. Enamoured by the rooftop plants and my own soft skin. Exploring my form in the mirrors. Working myself up to get considerably hot and bothered."

Hey! Look what we found hiding away in the archives over the last thirteen years... here's what she said: "I am from Slovakia and I couldn't go outside to shoot this and show you the beautiful country but I wanted some way to show you the place where I am coming from! So I used newspapers from the day to show my language and a regular normal part of everyday life here. You can see some normal foods and products and even their cost! My mother used to follow the low prices to go to the store and shop. But I don't like doing this, I don't like being too careful! You can imagine what kind of thing I prefer to do in my spare time!"
