New Releases

"This shoot was the most interesting experience for me as it was my first time with a professional camera. I bought it recently and have only had time to try it out for landscapes. Taking selfies was my first priority today. Honestly, it was quite difficult because I had trouble focusing on my face and the body parts I wanted to hightlight. I don't have much experience, I didn't know how to set up my camera properly, so I used the automatic mode. I usually take selfies on my iPhone, it's much easier. But now I wanted to improve the quality of my photos and make them feel more "alive". Also, it's my first shoot in my new apartment in Thailand. It was very relaxing and cozy for me to take photos here, because it fully relfects me and my taste. You may see my new furniture and decorations throughout my photos. I chose these clothes in my first shots because I think it represents me and my style, I prefer sporty looks. The tight shorts look sexy enough, but at the same time not gaudy."

"During the time I was taking these photos, I found a beauty within myself that I hadn't seen before. Being able to see myself from angles that I had never seen, was a such a blessing. I shot these photos in my cute little back yard, which has made me want to spend more time in the beautiful space that I've created. I consider myself to be an artist, always finding inspiration in what I see around me. It was nice to feel as though I was the inspiration for my art for the first time ever. Doing this project has made me want to explore more into different forms of self expression."

"After a hot day, I returned home and was very hungry, I decided to cook dinner for myself and realized that I only had avocados in the refrigerator. I believe that it was the right decision to take it, as the green color in the photos looks very fresh. I realized that for a long time I did not have such an appetite and what a pity that there was only one avocado, but I enjoyed it to the fullest. It was so gentle, a little greasy, like an airy sweet cloud. When I cut it, I was a little worried that it would be too hard and green, since it is very difficult to find a ripe avocado in our area. In my country, they are not grown, but only brought in, and often they simply ripen in the dark, damp premises of a supermarket. How I want my own garden, where I will grow my avocado. Why do simple things sometimes seem so unreal? The question is rhetorical, I do not expect an answer to it, and who will give it to me if I communicate with myself anyway. When I cut it, I was surprised, because it was perfect, I had not seen such avocados for a long time and decided that I urgently wanted to photograph it, and I decided that I simply had to take a picture with it. Well, where else will you see such a ripe avocado, if not in my shoot. Just imagine this aroma and taste, as if it had just been plucked from a tree that was burning on the sunny coast of Spain. I have never been there, but I can imagine it. All evening I thought about Spain and how delicious avocados are there, although I'm not sure if they come from there."

"Hi there :). This is my first ISM photoshoot, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself doing this shoot. It made me feel more body confident. It got me to appreciate my imperfections more and fall in love with my body even more. I mainly did the shoot in the kitchen and living room and a few in the bedroom. The cat did keep following me around when I was doing the shoot and you might be able to see him in the background so keep an eye out, haha! I feel gorgeous, sexy and empowered so I would definitely do this shoot again! Possibly outside next time, I just didn't have a very big garden here."

"This was my second shoot, and I really loved the experience. I went to the beach with my best friend and it was a really beautiful bonding experience. It was difficult to manoeuvre the mirror and get it to stand up in the sand. I collected shells throughout the shoot and really enjoyed being open with my body at the beach, I really felt connected to nature and to myself throughout this shoot. The photos themselves helped me to overcome insecurities and allowed me to feel confident in myself and confident around my friends."

"This was an amazing experience of growing pussy hair! I've started the journey in June, just missed my waxing procedure and asked what if I can be more natural without hair removal? It was slow, unusual and I reached the growth maximum since 4 months. It looked good even in a swimsuit, I wasn't shy to show them off and I loved to play with the hair. I will probably have it removed again soon, because that's what I like and are used to. I sort of miss the feeling of touching smooth lips. But this was a fun and interesting experiment, and I always can grow my hair back!"

"I took these photos near the water on the rocks. I was inspired by the remake of "The Little Mermaid". I wanted to do a nautical theme without being completely in the water. Mountains, cliffs - the spirit of freedom and incredible energy. I wanted to show the beauty of my body in such a place. It was very hot and sunny during the shoot, so I had to wait a while for the shade to appear. I won't lie, it was exciting and even scary. At any moment there could be people who came for a swim. This place is well protected from other people's eyes, but some people know about it. My excitement grew every time I exposed my breasts or showed my pussy. But I was so caught up and enthralled by the shoot that by the end I couldn't see or hear anyone. It was just me, the rocks, the water and a beautiful sunny day. God, it was incredible! When I was done taking pictures, I jumped into the water right off the rock. The water was cold and invigorating. I was so proud of myself! I had done it, I had challenged myself! At that moment I grew wings. When I went swimming, some guys came to relax and swim too. Oops, luck was on my side. If they had arrived 30 minutes earlier, they would have caught me."

"I want to thank all of the gorgeous souls who have helped me embrace myself. It has allowed me to bare not just my body but a little bit of heart for this project. "You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother. You don't owe it to your children. You don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked female". I love my body just the way it is, and hope it shines through my images that I have shot in my safe space."

"All these photos were taken at home, in a nice and cozy environment. I shot them in the daytime, I was in the mood to try something new and explore my body. I wanted to discover myself from new sides and create something beautiful and aesthetic. It was nice to be undressed and feel completely free and liberated. It was nice to take these photos, to gradually explore the details of my body and find new poses for the photos. I had a lot of fun playing with the light and camera positions. I really enjoyed doing this type of photography, it felt like I was opening up to myself and feeling new, more delicate, feminine and open."

"It's been a while! I've spent the summer at the beach so have some intense tan lines and more freckles than usual. I wanted to capture this summer vibe in my shoot by starting in my bathers (I had been outside reading in the sun). The rest of the folio was shot in my roommate's bedroom (it has much better lighting than mine) while she was at work. I felt a bit naughty but I enjoyed the thrill of not knowing when she would be home. I also wanted to do a no makeup look for this shoot and it made me feel so confident."

"This is my second time in making a photo shoot for I Shot Myself. I really enjoy working with ISM and I am glad that I am allowed to this shooting again. It's always super fun to do but also quiet a challenge. Taking so many pictures and trying to make them all different isn't easy but it definitely makes you creative which I love. This time I did the shoot at my friend's place where I am living for a short period. I enjoyed a lot that there are many different rooms in the house and also a big garden. It's fun to play around with the camera and light but always towards the end of the shooting it's really challenging because I am just running out of ideas. It was also really different this time because I wasn't alone at home like last time. Less privacy, but I still felt super comfortable doing it and my friends are super nice and were supporting me in doing it. Now I just finished the shoot and I am feeling great. I love my body and love being nude and enjoy to see my body in different ways. Thank you!"

"So this set of images were shot by myself, to show purity and rawness. To show yourself behind a lens with no filters and fake consumptions, these images unearths the context of nudity and what it feels like to be completely naked and free. Whilst I was taking these images, I was thinking to myself - "What would set me apart from others, what will make me different?", some images came to mind, as you can see from the end result. Using a friend's house as a base for a vast majority of the photos, I was slightly limited of the way in which I could express myself, however I feel like I did my best given the circumstances. Touching myself all over, showing you areas of my body I haven't otherwise shown a friend or a partner, can be quite daunting to some, however I do love my body, whatever shape or size, marked or unmarked, so it came naturally to myself. I did come across some difficult situations, meaning it is actually quite hard to take photos without a timer on, nevertheless I did really enjoy taking these photos of me, and I'm sure more will come in the future."

"I decided to set my theme for this shoot as a "hot reading", from a quiet "dressed version" to a naked one, with the purpose to show a different view of myself. I took a big mirror and put it on the balcony. I had to admit that I had to do that task over two different days, because I didn't know how to do different positions at first. At the end of the shoot I felt like I have discovered the beauty of some forgotten parts of my body. It was a great sensation. I am happy about this project because it let me discover new positions to shoot myself. And also I found the beauty of some parts of my body that I didn't see before."

"Hi there! This set was shot by me in my apartment, I rent a cool simple-looking small flat on the 35th floor. Maybe the design is pretty simple and I didn't have much space to use different locations (sunlight is a rare guest here during winter time), I still hope you'll enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed making a set! I put on some songs during the shoot to make it more interactive for myself haha, most of the time Shout by Placebo was playing. It was the first time I took this many pics using hands and feet only in my life! That's the main reason I said "yes" to this project, I was curious if I can manage it! I struggled in the beginning because of the lighting, it's too hard to shoot with no indoor lighting here. But, it was a cool new experience for me, I shoot nude pretty often as a hobby, but never myself haha. Hopefully I can repeat it someday!"

"This is my second shoot with ISM and it was just as fun as the first time. This time I used a mirror and I loved how many more positions and poses I was able to do and how much more I could explore. I felt more comfortable this time as I had more of an idea of what to do and what I was capable of. I also appreciated my body more and was more comfortable with how I looked taking these pictures. I feel really good being able to do this shoot again - I want to be able to keep coming up with ideas and doing other different shoots."
