New Releases

"It's been four years since my last shoot and I started this one thinking it would be as easy as last time. I remember feeling empowered and sexy and not finding it difficult to be creative and sexy - it just seemed to flow. This time I was surprised by how much harder and confronting I found it. My body was older, not as firm or as fit as my thirty year old self and I rejected more images initially because of that but then I began to see the true beauty in just being me. I didn't use many props, I experimented with makeup including very minimal amounts and tried to invoke as much authenticity as I felt - the raw self."

"Honestly I thought I'd be a lot more nervous or uncomfortable with the shoot but being in control of it and choosing my own angles etc really made me feel comfortable and empowered. I enjoyed the shoot so much and it's given me a lot of confidence and it was actually an amazing way to spend the day."

"J'ai deja eu fait des photos en privee de mon corps, essentiellement comme jeux sexuel avec mes partenaires mais c'est mon premier reel auto photoshoot, a prendre le temps de cadrer et de regarder et montrer ma nuditee. J'y ai pris enormement de plaisir, a essayer de nombreuses positions a photographier. je me sens d'autant plus fiere de mon corps maintenant. / I have taken private photos of myself, mostly as sexual games with my partners but this is my first real self taken photo shoot, taking time to shoot and show my nudity. I've had so much fun doing it, experimenting with various positions to shoot. I feel now even more proud of my beautiful body."

"I wanted to explore how my attitude to nudity might change and develop day by day (influence by culture, confidence, or where I was), so I documented my body first thing in the morning over the course of a few days, and it was amazing to see the changes - some days there was confidence, and others I was shy, some days I was so wrapped up in the curves and angles my body could create that I inadvertently gave my neighbours a show! This shoot was the most incredible journey of self love, and I'd encourage anyone to do it."

"I have to take a break every now and again. I started out because I had found embroidery, as a really good coping mechanism, a management technique for handling my anxiety and the depressive states I would get into. I find that I get really caught up in my inability to be as creative and as brilliant, and as original as I want to be, and finding what skills I actually have - the gap between those - it gets to me. I wanna be more artistic, I wanna be more skillful - but I want to be them now."

"Desde encontrar y hacerme el espacio y tiempo para disfrutar de la sesion, hasta jugar con la camara, jugar con mi cuerpo, mimarme. Toda esto fue un regalo de mi para mi, recordandome que soy dueña de mi tiempo, de mi espacio, dueña de mi cuerpo y dueña de mi experiencia en este mundo. Pero sobre todo que me merezco disfrutar de cada cosa que vivo. Estoy viva, soy irreemplazable, soy amada, soy sagrada. / From finding and making the space and the time to enjoy the shoot, to playing with the camera, playing with my body, pampering myself. The whole photo shoot was a gift from me to me, reminding me that I own my time, I own my space, I own my body, I own my experience in this world, and most of all that I deserve enjoying every little thing and moment. I'm alive, I'm irreplaceable, I'm loved, I'm sacred."

"This shoot was so much fun as I have always wanted to do a nude photo shoot and with I shot Myself I was able to be in complete control. When I found out about ISM I went straight in and took this amazing opportunity. I got to do some of my shoot outside as the sun was out and it was a beautiful warm day. I was bouncing about and rolling around in my backyard with a mirror I pulled out of my room. My cats made some guest appearances in a few photos and I'm very certain all my neighbours got a good show as my fences are quite low. I would do this shoot again in a heartbeat as I have so much love for the human body."

"I struggled with ideas for this shoot. I still had a lot of fun doing it though when I got into the flow of things. While taking pictures with the rose I ended up sitting on it and accidentally crushed it and pricked my butt in the process. Doing this shoot I felt confident and free, I always have so much fun doing these shoots. I feel everyone should do it!"

"This is my second set for ISM, and there's so many things that changed since then! I feel so much more comfortable with my body now, and have taken more nude selfies ever since, hehe. I shot these in my room and my backyard, showing a lil' bit of the pink jasmine and camellias in our garden that I love so much. Shame that I can't show off the jasmine in their full bloom glory cause it'll take a few more weeks to reach that stage! But oh well, it's hard to take photos with them anyway, because my neighbor kept on passing by and made it almost impossible to shoot myself in front of the jasmine properly, haha."

"I shot myself in the backyard garden. It was such a lovely sunny day and it felt so amazing being nude outside. Spring has sprung! The cool breeze and the sun shining through the trees really made me feel free (and quite sexy). Funny fact: while shooting I had to be mindful of some tradesmen that were working on the roof a few houses down. If I didn't stay low or in just the right spot they would have seen a lot! Honestly though, it just added to the excitement of the shoot!"

"Do you want to go dancin'?
We could have a good time and live it up.
So she took me by the hand and led me to her bedroom
And then she did it...stripped me half naked
And told me that her body was sacred.
And so we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced
So we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced all night.
- Bedroom Dancing, Day one."

"I shot these pictures all in the house I am currently subletting. I moved in less than a week ago and I'm very happy my housemate didn't catch me fully nude (although very nearly twice!). The lighting in the house is pretty bad so I had to shoot the majority of it outside, the weather has not been the best, a little chilly! And the neighbours are a tad overlooking so let's hope they didn't also catch some surprise boobs. If they did, I hope they enjoyed!"

"It took me a little while to start having fun with the photos. I didn't feel 100% confident at first due the fact that taking good photos of yourself, by yourself was a little harder than I had expected; however it was an enjoyable time and I ended up taking some really cool pictures with nice shapes and shadows. I also briefly took some photos outside the next day outside so I could get some nice lighting shots, that was a little scary with the neighbour's short little fences. I would rate this experience a success though for sure."

"So I chose a Halloween theme for the month of October, and to spice up my plain bedroom. The backdrop is far more dodgy than I anticipated it being, but I quite enjoy the further amateur vibe it gives the shoot. I had fun interacting with different props, and being able to experiment with some themed makeup!! I've recently gained some weight, and had been feeling inseure about it; however, this shoot truly boosted my confidence and I've never felt more sexy! It was a fun experience as always, and I look foward to possibly doing more in the future :) A big thanks to ISM for having me again, and not caring in the slightest that I'm a lil' chubbier than I once was."

"I like my body both naked and clothed. My tattoos are little adornments that I feel break up the even white of my skin. I've recently gone through a large weight-loss, but I cannot say that I have ever been afraid to show my naked body before and after. It is powerful, strong and consistent. I love when other people appreciate my body, whether in a sensual way or an offhand compliment. I love sharing, and sharing my body brings me joy."
