"I shot this set in my parent's backyard and it brought back lots of happy memories of BBQs, playing with my dog and going under the sprinkler during summertime. It made me feel nostalgic and it was also thrilling doing something that felt a bit taboo in my childhood home! I loved the smell of freshly mowed grass and the warm sun on my bare skin...it made me feel sensual and alive. It was a really fun shoot and reminded me how much I love being a nudist and exhibitionist! I hope you love these photos as much as I loved making them."

"I am fascinated with the effects of gravity on the body. The way the body hangs or spreads out depending on how it is moved. So for my folio I wanted to explore and celebrate how gravity affects my body. I twisted and turned, curled up and stretched out to explore my skin and shape. It was such a fun and playful experience, and I developed so much love for my body in all shapes and forms. I had a blast exploring these movements in the mirror, on a table, bed, rug, in the garden...all over the house really. It was as much of a creative journey as it was an expression of self-love."

"This is my third ISM and it is always so much fun. This time I played with the sunlight during the whole afternoon, laid on my bed. I prefer indoor shooting, it feels more intimate and comfortable, especially on a bed. I loved to play with mirrors and my reflection. I also liked to wear accessories, for my first shoot I was wearing socks, this time a hat. Since the day was hot and sunny I thought it would be nice!"

"This definitely felt different from previous projects and although I loved them, Becky and I agreed that this was our favourite and the one we had the most fun with. Maybe because we helped each other film and we do have fun anyway! Thank you ISM for allowing this space for us to explore ourselves and grow. Lots of love. x"

"It was the first week of the second lockdown in Victoria, the year of Covid-19. Status: Guilty of being human AKA complacent. Winter. The sky was overcast. Perfect lighting, perky nipples. I shot the photos at home: in my pillow tub (a couch pushed into a narrow space, filled with pillows, a duvet, a gravity blanket and more pillows), my husband's bedroom (his room was clean, mine was too messy with the overdue laundry to fold), in our living room, our balcony (on a winter morning), and at my desks (I have two and it's never enough). I had a nifty camera and zero motivation to write or draw or paint or do chores. A normal day plus camera, so I stripped and struck poses while the sun was (not really) hot. Accomplices: Two cats; a princess and a dorkus.
Accessories: Food; pizza and chocolate from hubby. After-glow: Invigorated and motivated and feeling sexy AF."

"When I found this abandoned house near my home, I knew immediately that it would be a fun place to shoot nudes in. It must have been a young, boy-filled share house at one point because it had a built in skate ramp in the back yard that is now overgrown and unskatable. One of the boys must have been an art student because I found some of his photos and an artist statement in the yard. It also had his contact info in it, so maybe I'll send him a note (and a pic) of my addition to the legacy of his former home. It felt like I was adding to the narrative of the home to be shooting my second IShotMyself here, and I feel like the former tenants would've gotten a kick out of it."

"What a (S)HOOT! This shoot was taken in all 3 houses I currently live in! Taking this shoot has been a journey of fun, stress, excitement, nervousness, pride and freedom. Taken over 3 days as well, maybe call 3 my lucky number? My dog tried to photo bomb most of them, cheeky fella. One thing, I wish I could have been outdoors for all of the photos but blame over-exposure in more ways than one! Be kind and enjoy! P.S First time taking nudes!"

"My sefgunda sesion. Mi problema fue que tenia muchas ideas para esta segunda sesion y quer'ia hacerla al aire libre pero el tiempo no me lo permitio. Asi que tuve que buscar inspiracion en otros lugares como los libros o mis calcetines nuvos. (Si soy consciente de lo extranho que es tener inspiracion de dos fuentes tan distintas pero que puedo decir la inspiracion viene cuando mmenos se la espera!). / This is my second time shooting. I wanted to shoot outdoors this time but the weather decided not to let me so I needed to look for inspiration somewhere else. Books were the main thing I used since I am a passionate reader. My socks were the second one (I am aware how odd it is, the contrast between books and socks as inspiration sources but what can I say, inspiration comes from the most weird places!)."

"Well it's a bit scary being so nude. It was such an interesting and liberating experience, I discovered so many things about myself, so many freckles that I didn't know existed. Specifically the one right next to my bum hole, I think it's my new favourite! I took these photos in the places where I feel at home over the course of a few days. I was was surprised at how creative I could be with a mirror, as well as how many times I dropped the camera on my face! What an empowering experience, fueled by self love gratitude."

"It's been a while since my last shoot. Things have changed, my hair's longer, I've grown into myself a bit more. I'm learning more. Same home, loving the garden, it's super lush this time of year, there are countless edible species that appear out of the grass as the cool weather sets in and I've been spending my days foraging and walking around barefoot. The wet lawn was lovely to lie in, exciting, calming and soothing altogether. Joyously rolling around half clothed just out of view of the kitchen window. I feel beautiful and free, like this morning I have confronted my body in its endless angles and beauty and said - 'You are wonderful and I love you'."

"I shot myself at my home, in my room. I like to do it in the day time when my mother is out or in the evening. While I was shooting, my mother returned home, so I needed to finish it quickly. Frankly I felt very excited thinking that somebody will admire me."

"Fue un desafio encontrar el lugar correcto para poner la camara para filmar y sentir que tenia que prestar atencion a dos focos a la vez, pero fuera de eso, me diverti mucho. Tambien me gusto poder expresarme con mi propia voz, mi tono, mi vibracion y mis palabras, me lo tome como un espacio de monologo para compartir mis ideas y sensaciones mas alla de la expresion fisica que tienen las fotografias./ It was a challenge to find the right place to put the camera to film and feel that I had to pay attention to two lights at once, but outside of that, I had a lot of fun. I also liked being able to express myself with my own voice, my tone, my vibration and my words, I took it as a monologue space to share my ideas and feelings beyond the physical expression that photographs have."

"I shot this in my own home so, a place I felt safe to be vulnerable and experiment with my body. I wanted to try and incorporate my dancing background into the shoot which turned out to be a little more challenging than I thought. What I really loved was that this shoot gave me a boost of self love and confidence! Being able to see my body from another perspective, to see it as an art form was cathartic for me and gave me even more appreciation for my body."

"I'm back ISM! Did you miss me? I missed you. I've always wanted to shoot myself in my family's backyard. Being home during this self-isolation period gave me the perfect opportunity. I had to be very quick. And sneaky, waiting for my Mum to leave to buy groceries before dashing around to get myself set up. The kitty kat isn't mine! He kept nosing around so I assumed he wanted to be included. I've made a new friend. Enjoy. xx"

"I took these photos in my room in Thailand, around late afternoon, wanting the shoot to be as simple and natural as possible - just the real me, owning my body. I've found such a peaceful atmosphere in Thailand, and being here has made me want to reflect on myself a lot more, especially regarding how I view and treat myself. I was able to explore so much more of my body through doing this shoot, and have found a new respect for its form. My body has loved and supported me for so many years, and it's about time I accepted it! After the shoot, I felt a strong sense of empowerment."
