New Releases

"This was the second time I've done an ISM project. Similarly to the first time, I felt more and more comfortable the more selfies I took. I ended up taking lots of extra shots because I was having so much fun with it. I shot this project at my friend's house who I am dog sitting for. The dog kept trying to get into the photos which made it a bit tricky! He was also trying to lick me in various places... My friend's house has large windows with beautiful natural lighting so I enjoyed taking photos in the different rooms. ISM is a great experience and I'm glad I have been able to participate twice now."

"I had chosen to shoot in the environment as nature is simply pure, beautiful, raw, dirty and perfectly imperfect. I felt it was the right place to shoot as my folio is about how when beings are in the nude we are just like a piece in nature; pure, beautiful, raw, dirty and perfectly imperfect too! Nature is such a sight and has no flaws, just like when beings express themselves in their naked skin. The shoot was very fun exploring, I got poked and prodded by plants, fell over lots and was very cold haha!"

"Ich habe dieses Fotoshooting am Pool gemacht. Das hat mega viel Spass gemacht. Ich hatte ernsthaft so einen tollen Tag! Ich habe das Gefuehl dass Wasser einen heilenden Effekt auf mich hat. Es gibt keinen Ort wo ich mich wohler, gluecklicher und selbstsicherer fuehle als im Wasser. Es war echt schwer die Fotos unter Wasserzu schiessen, aber ich glaube letztendlich habe ich ein paar schoene Fotos hinbekommen. Neben dem Pool waren wunderschoene Blumen, mit denen ich versucht habe meinen Koerper zu schmuecken. Generell war es eine wunderbare Erfahrung und ich wuerde es definitiv nochmal machen! / I did this photo shoot at the pool. That was a lot of fun. I really had such a great day! I have the feeling that water has a healing effect on me. There is no place where I feel better, happier and more confident than in the water. It was really hard to shoot the photos, but I think I finally managed to get some nice images. Next to the pool were beautiful flowers that I tried to decorate my body with. Generally it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely do it again!"

"This experience was an enriching expression of deep and inner self love. I wanted to bring in the elements of nature itself and I don't know if you can notice, but I did this whole experience with the rain falling on my skin and the wet foliage tickling my feet. During this opportunity, I allowed sexuality as a frequency to connect me further in touch with the essence of creation. Authentic universal love and sexuality for me, can be channeled through multiple means of expression, and I believe this is one of them! I feel filled to the brim with love from this opportunity, having such loving guidance from the whole team at ISM. I feel so happy to contribute to such a progressive and naturally wonderful project."

"The project was really interesting and I'm glad it exists. I remember doing my dissertation at uni on female photography, Annie Leibovitz being an inspiration. So I kept her work in mind a little while working on the project. I'm okay at taking selfies for myself, and definitely not nude. I was a bit awkward at the beginning but it got better and from looking at the photos of my body I was actually impressed with how my body looked. So yay!"

"In a way, this was the worst time to be doing a shoot - right in the middle of being run off my feet before going overseas, getting over being ill, and quite sleep deprived. So I was a bit worried about how it would go, but I ended up having lots of fun with it and felt just as energised and sexy as I would on a first date - so I think it turned out pretty well. Putting on your favourite perfume and sassy playlist certainly makes all the difference!"

"Hoewel dit tot voor kort niet iets was waarvan ik dacht dat ik het ooit zou doen, ben ik achteraf super blij het gedaan te hebben. Seks benaderen op een positieve manier gebeurt nog veel te weinig en dit soort projecten zijn een ware verademing. Er zelf aan meewerken, betekende uit mijn comfortzone treden, mezelf letterlijk blootgeven, remmingen loslaten. Het was een bevrijdende ervaring! / Although up until recently I'd never imagined myself doing such a thing, I'm really happy I went ahead and did it. Approaching sex in a positive manner is still a work in progress for so many people and these kinds of projects are sorely needed. Featuring in such a project meant getting out of my comfort zone, literally exposing myself, letting go of my inhibitions. It was liberating!"

"This video was so liberating to create, a big reason I wanted to take part in the video shoot as well as my previous photo shoot is that in the last couple of months my body confidence and self love has sky rocketed and I thought it would be a really cool experience to just do what I love most which is moving around, but in front of a camera. I've been dancing for over 15 years now so I love being able to pull inspiration from anything and everything..."

"This folio is definitely showing multiple parts of my personality - serious, jokey, extra, girly. I deleted quite a few photos as I went but towards the end I just embraced all of my 'imperfections' and I can see a confidence change coming through in those photos. I didn't get to go outside as much as I would have liked to so I had to play with different areas of my room. My roommate knocked on the door so many times!"

"I was at my Mum's house where I could shoot in the forest and it started raining. I was so cold but I felt so happy in my body because I was taking the time to appreciate it. I felt warm and comfortable in my skin for the rest of the day. Taking photos of myself felt more effortless than last time, I felt curious and fluid and full of love for myself. It was lots of fun, especially when I had to take the photos inside (it was too cold outside) and laid on the carpet next to the window in the sun, observing and capturing myself."

"I am a very silly person, and find hilarity in the mundane. This folio was taken on a cloudy Sunday afternoon in my honestly quite messy garden. I love being naked, especially in the open air, so I felt very comfortable and happy. I had a lot of fun doing this shoot because I was constantly reminded in my nakedness of how silly and weird bodies are and how much I love all my own flaws and weirdness."

"Pour ce 3eme shooting il m'a ete tres dure de varie les cliches car j'arrivais en fin d'inspiration. Il est dure de varier les emotions et les poses lorsque l'on se photographie soit meme avec donc une maine de moins de libre. C'est grace aux objets et l'atmosphere de ma maison que j'ai trouver de l'inspiration pour continuer a rendre mes photos toutes plus differante les une que les autres. / For this 3rd shoot it was very hard to vary the pictures because I arrived at the end of inspiration. It is hard to vary the emotions and the poses when one is photographing themselves, even with one hand less free. It is thanks to the objects and the atmosphere of my house that I find inspiration to continue to make my photos all a different shoot to the others."

"I wanted this shoot to bring together the four elements, focusing on water, earth and fire and positioning myself as the air. I feel like these elements play a huge part in the way I interact with the world and the way I move through my emotions, sometimes being so hot and uncontrollable, sometimes being fresh and grounded, sometimes being drenched with fluidity, and always flitting between these. To present these with raw and artistic nudity felt like a match made in heaven."

"It was so refreshing to re-explore shooting myself now being in a new space. The light that reaches upstairs is so dreamy and soft, and really shifted the tone for this shoot. I recently purchased these coral coloured silky sheets, and it felt oh so sensual to roll and wrap myself within them. It was a beautiful scene to witness after I had finished, seeing the sheets and scarves all tangled into one."

"I really thought doing the shoot would be difficult and I'd find it hard to relax, being naked in front of a camera isn't a natural thing for me so it did take a few goes to get used to it. Even deleting all the pictures and starting over because I was so unsure of myself. At the moment I'm living in a studio apartment with a good friend of mine but I didn't tell him I was doing the shoot and he did walk in half way through and really wondered what I was doing with a mirror up against my bed. Once I explained he totally understood and let me do my thing. When I finished the shoot and was looking back through all the pictures I was really shocked and proud of myself that I really thought I looked great and happy with the end result."
