New Releases

"This was a particularly thrilling shoot, as it was all outside along hiking trails! It was this incredible, liberating feeling to shed my clothing and step out into nature... walking over long grasses, through old trees, along the river. In nature, in my natural form. It was nerve-wracking at first knowing I was nude in public, and anybody could walk past at any time. Nobody did stumble upon my shoot, but I was dipping my toes in the river for a while when I looked up and realised I was in full view of a walking bridge just over the water. You're welcome, passersby!"

"In this shoot I wanted to make it original looking, I find myself really excited during the days leading up to the shoot as this is my only creative release at the moment in my slightly mundane life. Initially I planned to make a pillow fort and have a sort of alien theme, but as always I got a little carried away and end up with a swirl of themes. I had a lot of fun with it and made a huge mess of colourful clothes, streamers and random toys in my bedroom. Hope you enjoy :)"

"I found myself in the Top End, Darwin, surrounded by sunshine and tropical leaves and trees. Bougainvillea, bright and pink made me feel so feminine and lush. This is my best friend's home, and I waited til the last day of my holiday to shoot this, I took the heaviest mirror off her wall too! Luckily for the neighbours, they've seen my whole body and how much I enjoyed doing this shoot. Frolicking in the water, and dancing in the sunshine - where I feel most beautiful. How can one not pleasure themselves after such a time?"

"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."
