Zara_M//"leisure_look"
"I shot this project in my own bedroom; I wanted to be as personal as possible and give you an inside glance into my life. I shot in the afternoon on my day off and took my time, so I could fully enjoy the process. I loved being able to be completely vulnerable with the camera and give you a raw look at myself and my sexuality. I used a variety of poses and did a slow tease of fully clothed to nude so you get the best possible look at me. I had a great time shooting these pictures and I'm very proud of the outcome!"

Prudence_B//"honeyberry"
"This is my second shoot so going into it I felt very excited and confident taking my photos. It was a cloudy day, so as I began to undress I felt the cold breeze all over my body, although I was cold I felt in my element. I love being naked, it feels so free and natural, I believe more people should strip down. Whilst taking my photos I was aware I was in view of my neighbours so it made me feel quite cheeky, I'm not sure if they saw me but if they did, I don't mind. I really enjoyed this shoot as it made me feel beautiful, sexy and really appreciate my body."

Yuno//"riddle_me_this"
"Hey there! After I came back from meeting with my friend I felt very playful and chose to shoot. I like to make selfies, enjoy my nudity and have fun. To be honest, I didn't have something in mind, some idea. I just chose my favorite place in my apartment, where I usually spend time with books, puzzles or draw something. And that was the right decision, already in a few minutes I got into the perfect mood and just enjoyed my alone time and taking more and more selfies. I didn't notice that an hour went by, and felt hungry. Seems like I found my destiny. Now I have so many ideas for future shoots!"

Jemma_C//"MorningGlorious"
"When I was preparing to shoot myself, I knew I wanted a nature theme, somewhat inspired by Eve, from Adam and Eve. I wanted it to be raw, real, and somewhat dirty - as nature is. I spotted the blooming morning glories climbing my fence outside my window, and decided to pick some flowers and leaves, knowing they would suit my room and hair well. While reviewing my first few topless photos, I couldn't help but laugh, because earlier that day I had burnt the SHIT out of my chest. There's no hiding that! My floor was dirty and paint splattered after a recent renovation, so I just laid nude on it to become dirty myself. It was empowering; relating this imperfect floor to my imperfect body, scattered with acne, my unshaven vagina, my flabby stomach and small breasts. My initial thought was, "I wish I shaved", but then it occurred to me, the whole point of this spontaneous shoot was to shoot my REAL self. FECK IT! Im going to embrace and highlight every feature of my body! And brighten up my usually self-conscious parts with beautiful flowers and leaves. Dirty clit, burnt chest, backne, and a chubby tummy. I love seeing how vulnerable, open, and truly beautiful I am, with almost no makeup or preparation. Throughout the shoot and after, I carry a full heart, a willing soul, and a loving spirit. Thankful for you, ISM. Thank you for presenting this opportunity for us to love our naked selves."

Cindy_B//"tongue_in_cheek"
"I'm used to being photographed, never taking the pictures myself. I'm also used to modeling avant garde and alternative fashion, often involving many layers of clothing and accessories that hide and obscure the body so I felt unsure at times of how to pose or even what I wanted to portray during the shoot. This project helped me put some of my creative ambitions into words, and strengthened my resolve to carry them out. While not explicitly a result of the shoot, the photos correspond with my feelings of renewed control over my body and what it can do. I'm thankful for the opportunity."

Karla_M//"metalista"
"For my second IShotMyself my inspiration came from wanting to play with colour, so I wore clothes and underwear that would match the background's colour. I played with fabric that's metallic and used that as background and prop to set the theme of the pictures, it reflected light in an interesting way and, in my opinion, made the pictures look sort of "dreamy". It was so much fun to experiment with something different where I could even take more abstract pictures. IShotMyself really gave me the freedom to chose how I want to be shot, I'm glad to be part of such an empowering project once more."

Lou_A//"misty_morn"
"Heyaaa gorgeous creatures, this is my first time doing an IShotMyself folio and wowww what an interesting 48 hours it has been. Luckily I had a whole weekend to complete my folio but unluckily both days were 15 degrees and overcast! Haha but I think I did fine. I was a little nervous at the beginning mainly because I didn't know how I wanted to shoot it, but as soon as I began messing around, inspiration came flooding in! It was really cool to explore something this different and to create art that was so natural and raw was pretty inspiring."

Juana_Astier//"flor_de_playa"
"La sesion en si misma la hice alrededor de la idea de intimidad, sobretodo alineada a mi amor propio, mi autonomia y mi propio respeto por mis decisiones y mis expresiones. Las fotos las enfoque en compartir todas esas cosas que me hacen sentirme libre y donde puedo expresarme espontaneamente, sin presiones y sin preocuparme por ningun tipo de condicionamiento. / I based the session itself around the idea of intimacy, especially in line with my self-esteem, my autonomy and my own respect for my decisions and my expressions. The photos focus on sharing all those things that make me feel free and where I can express myself spontaneously, without pressure and without worrying about any type of conditioning."

Ally_C//"aotearoa"
"I shot these pictures during my time in lockdown in New Zealand. It's been such a strange and stressful situation, being stuck overseas during a pandemic. It's hard not to think about the state of the world every day now, but shooting these pictures just took me back to the feeling of being naked and enjoying myself and my body. Investigating what lockdown had inevitably done to my curves (who else has been stress eating??). This project was so much fun because it brought me back to feeling myself and being productive with my day and has now given me the motivation to get off my ass and back to work!"

Ida_G//"paint_the_town"
"Dieser Ort war der bisher aufregendste fuer einen Shoot wie diesen! Das Gebaeude war einst eine alte Fabrik, die nun unbenutzt dasteht. Viele Strassenkuenstler haben dem Ort einen neuen Charme gegeben und all die Farben, die mich bei dem Shoot umgeben haben waren unglaublich schoen. Die Athmospaere des Gebaeudes war unglaublich, vor allem neben der Auregung einen Shoot wie diesen in einer Fabrik wie dieser zu haben. / This location has been the most exciting one I've been to so far. The place used to be an old factory building, now emptied out. A lot of street artists gave it a whole new character and being surrounded by all that art and the colours was incredibly special. I loved the atmosphere in there and this excitement of doing a shoot like this in a place like that."

Lara_T//"future_lover"
"During the photos, I had a fantasy about my future boyfriend - about great sex with my boyfriend also after the pics, his passion and temper (and mine too). I've done a few pics like that for an ex boyfriend before. It was so cool and he didn't expect it and it was really hot!! He told me he never got pics from his other girlfriends. I like to do surprises like this, they're a little kinky and really hot! I think it can make our minds get so excited beforehand, so then afterwards we can have the best sex ever! After shooting, I was thinking about who I can send these kinds of pics to, and maybe make them my boyfriend."

Melanie_M//"love_stung"
"I had a very interesting time doing this shoot playing around with different poses and ways to click the shutter, it was a lot of fun. It was a great learning experience too, I've learned a lot about my body and the way it looks in different positions, I don't think I've ever looked at myself naked for that long! I really enjoyed the outside portion of my shoot, while rolling around in the rocks in my backyard I got a bee sting on my bum! It's a few days later now and it still hurts but it was definitely worth it! I am so grateful for the opportunity, I feel so much more comfortable in my skin and I have a new appreciation for my body."

Tori_V//"gan_eden"
"Just me being the ultimate dork in my veggie patch and with my indoor plant collection. I found doing this shoot way harder than I thought it would be! I had to really expand my idea of what taking a selfie was! So many new angles I had never seen or captured before of my body. I like to think I'm pretty in touch and super comfy with my bod, but this was definitely a new level of intimacy! I think it was great practice... my partner is gonna get sent so many more nudes now with all the surprise angles ;) Also, it's the absolute best feeling in the world being nude and getting that sun on your butt! Highly recommended if you've never tried it before."

Bridgid_S//"my_way_all_day"
"This shoot was so glorious! I made a full adventure out of it. Before picking up my friend who joined me, I had some time to kill and a dragon fruit and camera in my bag... so I found myself in a grungy alleyway indulging in the juicy, exotic fruit, luscious sweetness that dripped down my body... keeping alert for any company that could encroach on my spontaneous shoot at any moment! Then we headed to the coast and found an epic beach. Scrambling down the clay cliffs in light rain to get to the golden sands! There was a thunder storm rumbling in the distance, which created such an intense energy, enjoying the location while I could before the heavy rain came over the top of me."

Elisa//"mystery_spot"
"It was a hot day and a big relief to find myself by the beach. I love the color of my body the way it looks against the green leaves and the blue sky. Funny story about this day, I meant to go to a spot I remembered from a time before where I was sure it would be private but I got lost trying to find this place. I ended up somewhere completely new that was even more beautiful than the place before! It was even more private too and I enjoyed having the nature all to myself. I wonder if I will be able to remember how to get back..."
