"I thought it would take a little while to feel at ease, but I almost immediately had fun with it. Playing with angles and seeing all the interesting shapes and patterns that my body was making helped me to silence the inner critic and really celebrate my body completely. My housemate's cats got involved of course, because they love to get involved with anything we're doing (they love to help make the bed!). My neighbour did walk past my window as I was shooting this, but I was having so much fun I honestly just laughed and waved. It's not the first time I've been caught nude by my neighbours, but it is the first time I've not worried about seeing them in the communal spaces afterwards."

"I was raised in the Irish countryside and have always felt great comfort in being around nature. I had originally planned to create this shoot in the mountains during the Easter break but due to unforeseen events I had to change the location to my garden. The shoot was risky due to our garden being quite open to our neighbours. Initially I was quite prohibitive with my nudity and avoided shooting in certain areas of the garden so that I would not offend our neighbours if they were to catch me, but after a few minutes I just let myself go and snapped myself in all positions!"

"I shot myself was a lot of fun and a great experience! My photos were taken inside and outside because I love nature and I love being naked in my bedroom. It felt strange at first getting naked in a public area, but after finding an area secluded enough I started shooting. After the first few photos I became more confident and began having fun with it, twisting my body in different ways, using the sun to create shadows on my body. I felt so connected with the earth feeling the grass and dirt on my body. I enjoyed feeling a little naughty and knowing the possibility of getting caught got me excited. At the end I didn't want to put my clothes back on, I felt so comfortable with how I was."

"For many years I blamed my body rather than realising it was my mind that was at fault. I was floating, unable to feel comfortable in my own skin. Unable to experience life in fear someone would see what I saw at the time as flaws. Intimacy could not be felt. Changing in front of friends was filled with anxiety. Sharing with a lover, never dreamed of. I always covered up. I allowed my mind to dicatate my every move - the way I stood, walked, and the clothes that I wore. And nudity, was forbidden."

"Originally, because my approach to nudity is natural, I wanted to take pictures in nature. I didn't have this opportunity so in the end I took the photos at a friend's house. I was home alone and suddenly everything inspired me. I was on my period and didn't know what to do but in the end I decided to take a picture with the tampon sprouting - it was natural then until the end! I started by taking pictures in front of the mirror at different angles and then I just experimented with random objects that winked at me..."

"My body has changed since my first shoot, I'm a bit older, I weigh a bit more, my boobs aren't as perky, there are rolls where there wasn't before. It forced me to accept and flaunt and worship those changes I had been ignoring in my life. It gave me a confidence boost and energised me and my love for my body. For the first time in a while I felt sexy again and that felt really really good. I hope you enjoy and still find me sexy too :)"

"Ma premiere experience de nue je n'etais pas tres a l'aise, je ne me suis jamais senti bien dans ma peau. Mais apres quand jai vu les photos, jai ete surprise, merde cest moi!! Les photos sont une pacon de decouvrir ton corps, tu te vois sur des photos avec une autre vu. Tu te sens libre et belle. / When I had my first nude photography experience I wasn't very comfortable because I've never felt good about myself. But later when I saw the pictures I was surprised, fuck it was me!! These shoots are a way to discover your body, you see yourself in a picture with a different view. You feel yourself free and beautiful!!"

"Who doesn't like a bit of spontaneity? Mid way through taking these photos I realised how hungry I was and how badly I needed to pee, so I grabbed myself an apple to feast on and let loose on the grass! I was staying with some friends who have a beautiful, private backyard - I knew it'd be perfect for a set like this. And that yellow car? SO COOL! The only problem was my dog Arkham was so desperate to make an appearance in the photos - he kept howling at me from the other side of the fence. I had such a lovely evening making this folio for you. :)"

"When doing this photoshoot of myself, I felt weird at first to see myself in the camera. I'm not used to seeing myself like that. Then, I just felt more and more comfortable doing it and I started to see my expressions and the shape of my body in a different way. I was more aware of what I look like and what is making me look great. I still have some difficulties with the vagina part, but I think it's a lot to process in the meantime. I need to do it slowly with that part. So many things happened there, in a bad and a good way. It represents a lot for me, so I think I'm gonna continue to grow from these experiences and to feel more comfortable with this part of my body."

"These photos were taken in my house. I spend a lot of time on this rug, stretching, reading, sun banking when the light is right. My body has changed since my last shoot. They are subtle changes, but parts of me feel slightly bigger and softer. This shoot forced me to be intimate with myself and really admire the body I have grown into."

"...Using a remote trigger I shot myself naked amongst the ferns, documenting myself through video in between shooting stills. I feel at home with a camera and in nature. At some stage I was sprawled out over a fallen tree, naked and posing for the camera when an older man wandered past on a bush walk and got quite the surprise. I smiled coyly and when he saw my camera he stated what a beautiful day it was and carried on his way..."

"I did the shoot in the shared house I lived in. I did most of it in my own room. The second day I started to shoot myself in the backyard, in a more relaxed state, no longer worrying too much about what the results would be. I felt comfortable to walk around the house naked because my housemate was out of the house during the day for his work. Only Ruby, his cat, that usually stays in the house the whole day. I was surprised when I was trying some shots in the kitchen, my housemate caught me. He was working at home day that day. It was a bit awkward, but it's all good."

"I really enjoyed this shoot! I was lucky enough to be able to use a dance studio for half of the photos - having a giant mirror made it really fun and easy to take photos from lots of angles. I put on my favourite songs from the past year and just danced around and had a really good time! I tried to do some dance poses that hopefully weren't too dorky. It was even more fun than my previous shoots. I didn't have any props this time and just tried to focus on enjoying myself and feeling good in my body. It came much more naturally than my previous shoots too - it felt good just being me and smiling!"

"Non mi ero mai fotografata nuda prima d'ora, ho visto con piu' profondita lati di me che di solito sorvolo. In questi anni e' davvero importante valorizzare il corpo della donna dato che i media hanno inserito nella societa' una figura di donna che non corrisponde alla realta'. Non avrei mai pensato che esistessero organizzazioni simili, in Italia sarebbe uno scandalo partecipare a un progetto simile! Ah, comunque, ho rischiato di farmi trovare nuda in soggiorno dai miei coinquilini!! / I have never photographed myself naked before, I saw things I would usually leave out. In these years it's really important to enhance the woman's body since the media have included a figure of women in society that does not correspond to reality. I never thought that similar organizations existed! However I risked to be surprised naked in the living room by my roommates!"

"This photoshoot was a fabulous blast from the past! I returned to Melbourne eager to do another shoot and I'm very happy I did. While thinking about a concept pre-shoot, I decided to focus on the wonderous cycle that is vaginal discharge! My coochy, however, being the spontaneous lover that she is decided she didn't want to play ball, as she had my monthly menstruation to work on. So, this album focuses on the warm showers, divine sexuality and the healthy portion of pain that comes the day my period arrives. So I hope you enjoy this menstrual journey we women experience, and my unique perspective on such. Lots of beautiful love, Maggie_R!"
