New Releases

"I feel the happiest in nature and I wanted that to reflect in my Ishotmyself folio. I had a lot of fun getting creative with the photos I took. I feel empowered as a woman from taking part in this project. I've never felt comfortable in my body and I feel like this experience is the start of me being able to love myself."

"My friend has recently moved an hour away from me so we took this as an opportunity to get together at her new place and have ourselves an afternoon in the garden (naked and taking photos of ourselves but not too unlike a normal Wednesday afternoon, nah?). After the initial creative block around photo #20, I was easily carried away and found that I FELT GOOD in almost every shot. This shoot was very much a freedom of expression I rarely find and feel excited to have found even more love for myself and my body today."

"38 degree days call for stripping off in the back yard and sweating amongst the overgrown greenery of your suburban oasis. Although sensitive skin and long grass don't play well together! Having the privacy to sun yourself naked is a luxury I cherish and take full advantage of. I wanted to express that in my shoot and how comfortable I am with my own nudity and how sensual it makes me feel on a hot summer's day."

"Filming was surprisingly enough, a completely separate experience. Recording my process during the shoot is as if I allowed all access my secret window, enabling the ability for others to see in on my very own personal and introspective venture. I am here sharing my behind the scenes..."

"This project helped me appreciate parts of my body I was always quite embarrassed about and made me feel super sensual. Due to the rain and high winds that weekend I stayed mostly indoors for the shoot. It wasn't so bad though, my nipples look freaking amazing in these photos! Lucky some friends of mine have an EPIC costume room and they were close by. It was pretty funny literally running around the house naked with different props in my hands trying to keep warm on a 12 degree morning during this shoot! And having friends that are supportive and encouraging made this experience all the more special. I am very stoked of the outcome of this shoot, what a powerful feeling."

"Durante lo shooting esterno e' stato divertente interagire con la natura e trovare angoli artistici che mi rappresentassero. Ogni tanto mi sono dovuta nascondere da sguardi indiscreti di persone che passavano per caso. / It was fun to interact with the nature to find artistic corners and shoot something that could represent me. Sometimes I had to hide myself from indiscreet looks but it was fun rolling around trying to find the best place to shoot."

"This was my favourite shoot by far! This is where I feel most at home, in the country, in the clear water of a mountain river. I did this shoot on the second last day of 2019, hours before the fires hit in Victoria and leveled this magical place completely. The following 48 hours were the most terrifying of my life. Words really can't explain it, but it makes me cherish this shoot more. I know one day it will be this beautiful again there, until then please appreciate this little bit of Aussie paradise and my moment of peace."

"Le moment où je me réveille est selon moi un moment de pure vérité dans la mesure où je suis la plus naturelle et vulnérable qui soit. Je voulais avoir un reflet de cet état d'esprit mais aussi avoir un aperçu de ce que voit mon compagnon en premier le matin (j'avais un peu peur!!). Le matin est aussi un moment d'excitation et j'étais vraiment curieuse de découvrir comment ces différents sentiments pouvaient se lire sur mon corps et mon visage. J'aime le résultat, c'est intéressant! / The moment I wake up is for me a moment of pure truth insofar as I'm the most natural and vulnerable. I wanted to have a reflect of that state of mind but also have an idea of what my boyfriend first sees in the morning (I was a bit afraid!!). The morning is also a moment of excitation and I was really curious to discover how all those different feelings could be readable on my body and my face. Well, I liked the result, it's interesting!"

"I spent the afternoon out in my hot and sunny garden with a blanket, some tea and paint brushes in my hand as I worked on a current painting. I was feeling so connected to my self and the colour red as I was also on my period during that time. I decided to put bright red lipstick on and tie my hair up with a red silk scarf once the temperature increased. I indulged in the sensual feelings evoked by this colour and loved the smell of my salty skin after a swim in the ocean earlier on in the day. During the shoot I had to be careful of the workers working on my neighbour's house next door! Multiple times, I put my clothes back on frantically as I heard someone climb onto the roof, scuttling with a slight sense of adrenaline rushing through me."

"This shoot felt SO different to the first one. I initially thought it would be super familiar and would flow through with ease and grace... but it was actually quite the opposite. To honour the flow of this mood, I needed to be somewhere comfortable, warm, enriched, held. My idea was initially to go back outdoors and exlore nature and get intimate with the outdoors - but my body only permitted this while I was ovulating - I needed to honour and allow my body to be in this current state of neediness - neediness and requirement for soft kind love."

"The first few photos I took were a bit embarrassing but I really started to enjoy it and have fun, my mind was brainstorming, I got so many ideas, I couldn't stop taking photos, I felt so creative. It was so empowering, time literally flew. Wasn't expecting it. I was feeling good with myself, so sexy. This project has such a high purpose, women shooting themselves and feeling great while doing it, doing it at their own pace, respecting their timing, realising their worth and not letting society's stereotypes own them and take them down. Ishotmyself is definitely worth it, so girls pick that camera up and start shooting, show how beautiful and particular you all are in your own way, you will not regret this."

"I was drawn to do the I Shot Myself project because it is totally aligned with my purpose. It felt so empowering to step further into this "role" in this way! I enjoyed doing this shoot more than I thought I would for so many reasons. It was so fun getting creative and being my own muse. Challenging myself not to try to do anything and to really just be and represent my true self. On another level, I felt my self love deepen as I gained an even more profound appreciation for myself, my own unique beauty and courage."

"Le pedi el living a mi amigo para hacer este photoshoot porque me enamore de su luz y sus ventanas espejo. Lo hice cuando no estaban sus roomies pero una llego antes del gimnasio y tuve que vestirme muy rapido. Realmente disfrute hacerlo y senti muchas ganas de masturbarme haciendo las fotos pero me contuve porque estaba en casa ajena, pero cuando llegue a mi habitacion fui mi mejor amante. / I asked to do this photo shoot in my friend's living room because I fell in love with the light and mirror windows. I did it when his roomies weren't at home but one of them arrived home earlier from the gym and I had to get dressed really quick. I really enjoyed doing it and I really wanted to masturbate while taking the photos but I held back because I was in someone else's house but once I was in my own room I become my best lover."

"There are a number of fundamental physical changes I have undergone: I have had both breasts surgically removed and replaced with silicone implants, and both nipples have been removed. I have no sensation in either breast, and both armpits are quite numb too. During chemo I lost all my hair and gained about 5 to 8 kilos. Strangely, the short hair is the hardest thing to deal with. Any woman who has shaved her head can tell you, short hair IMMEDIATELY alienates you from many men! They see short hair as butch and radical and their fragile masculinity is threatened! Oh my! My girlfriend looks tougher than me! Woe!"

"This folio represents the soft and also the artistic aspects of who I am. I have music deep in my veins and I wanted to show the relationship I have to my instruments and the nature I have around me in my backyard. It also involved climbing a rusty, dodgy old ladder onto the tin roof of my house, flashing the entire neighborhood for the perfect shot of me and the beautiful setting sky, aptly displaying my strong sense for adventure and giving absolutely anything a go with no fear whatsoever ;)"
