"Ich habe einen Freund gefragt, ob ich sein Zimmer fuer ein paar Stunden ausleihen duerfte, da ich momentan auf der Couch von Freunden schlafe und ein Wohnzimmer in einer WG schien mir nicht ganz der richtige Ort fuer Bilder wie diese zu sein... die Katze meines Freundes ist dann immer mal ins Zimmer gekommen und hat mir Gesellschaft geleistet, was mich zum laecheln gebracht hat. / I asked my friend to borrow his room because I am currently crashing on someone's couch and a living room in a shared house just doesn't quite seem to be the right place for ISM... every now and then his cat would pop in and join me for a bit which made me smile."

"This set was shot in a friend's old house, she had untreated floorboards and natural light pouring into the place so that pretty much set the scene for this shoot. I just wanted it to have a clean, crisp feel with a bit of a grimy edge to it."

If you liked Grace's recent reload, "Vitamin_R", strap yourself in for a cruisy little behind the scenes. Pic by pic, watch Grace line up her shot and capture every perfect frame. It's got the perfect balance of still photo and motion-video, and bonus - if you pay real close attention, you may get to see a few shots from the cutting room floor.

"Taking photos of yourself when you have body issues is another layer and having to see myself this way made me think about how others are viewing me, and I found myself not loving how I looked. At other times I embraced parts of me, my smooth skin, smile and all the years and experience which shows up in my body. Someone is going to get off from this. I deserve that kind of admiration. Someone wants to feel all of this, and pay good money for it too. Trying to position myself in ways to get the shot without an apparatus, it made me exhausted. It took me days to get these shots done. I thought about sex. I had sex. I became inspired. I hated it. Then I had fun. ;)"

"I took most of the photos in my bedroom, I live in a big beautiful house, and in my bedroom is a gorgeous floor to ceiling arched window, perfect lighting for the shoot, although I think I may have flashed a few unsuspecting civilians out for their morning stroll. I definitely went on more of a journey with myself than I thought I would, and this shoot was far more challenging than I expected. I really pushed myself way out my comfort zone, and I would recommend this shoot to anyone and everyone. It showed me myself in a whole new light, and taught me new ways to love myself. I've had my issues with my body, but we're working on our friendship."

"Over the weekend I was looking after a house with a garden, and with a few days of sunny weather on the cards, my first thoughts were to do a ISM shoot! It felt so good to soak up the winter sun totally naked (yay Vitamin D). Using someone else's space was fun too. I kept imagining them coming home early to find me in the act... only a few birds saw the shoot though. I tried to use the colours of the garden, green leaves etc in my shoot. I chose a bright yellow dress to celebrate the sun and add a pop of colour to the pictures. It's been a little while since I've done an Ishotmyself and it felt so good to get back into it. I've always loved how invigorated and powerful I feel afterwards. I'm definitely a little bit addicted."

"J'ai fait le tour de ma maison pour trouver de l'inspiration et des objets a'utiliser lors du shooting. Heureusement, nous avons plein de mirroirs et ils se sont re've'le's mes meilleurs allie's. Re'aliser le shooting dans le jardin e'tait super pour la luminosite mais moins pour l'intimite'. Malgre le fait que j'ai pre'venu le maximum de mes collocs, au moins trois personnes m'ont surprises lorsque je prenais les photos et e'taient entre la confusion et la surprise. Malgre cela, c'e'tait une bonne experience. / I tried to have a look around my house and took all I can find to use it for the shoot. Fortunately we have a lots of mirrors and for me it was the best accessory ever for this shoot. Doing it in the garden was nice for the light but for the privacy not so much. Despite the fact that I tried to talk about it to the maximum of my roommates, at least three people surprised me taking the pictures and were in a state between confused and sorry. It was still a good experience."

"I used this shoot as another artistic avenue, another way to express my body exactly how it is and not idealised in any form. I want this to encourage other women to get as excited and liberated as I felt."

"Getting back to nature the best way possible. Confident, naked and unafraid. Soft, warm sun lingering on my skin and the breeze tickling the hairs over my body. I can hear leaves rustling and the birds in the trees and I feel at home. Caught up in my own world with not a thought of getting back to reality anytime soon. Let me lay here and play in the grass as the light dances on my skin. I feel peaceful and playful capturing sweet moments in time. I'm getting as close to mother nature as possible!"

"Doing Ishotmyself was the most exciting and beautiful thing I have done so far. Taking my own pictures naked alone, made me feel so powerful and free. The more I took pictures of myself the more I got excited to take more. I felt confident in my own skin and I loved it. It made me feel that I wanted to make love to myself and I did. I still don't know why but afterwards I thought of my mother, I felt connected to her and connected to all women."

"On the morning of the shoot, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got out of bed, washed my face and was ready to go. I didn't even brush my hair! This was totally liberating for me. Halfway through the shoot, the wind blew my mirror over and it smashed. It also started to rain. I continued shooting anyway, because the smashed glass actually gave the shots a really cool vibe. My favourite thing about shooting for I Shot Myself was the freedom I had to practice weird and unflattering poses I would normally NEVER do. I just let myself be completely free, didn't try to hide lumps and bumps or my tummy. I could've spent all day taking these photos! I would do this shoot again and again, it was great fun and left me feeling great about myself."

"Das shooting hat Spaß gemacht. Ich habe es in einem abgelegenen Haus gemacht und kam auf die Idee Gegenstände wie zum Beispiel einen Spiegel oder Pflanzen mit einzubeziehen. Es gab mir ein anderes Körpergefühl meinen Körper aus Winkeln zu sehen aus denen ich ihn noch nie gesehen habe. Am Anfang ist es vielleicht etwas merkwürdig aber je mehr Bilder man macht desto mehr Spaß hat man am Ende daran und desto mehr lernt man auch seinen Körper lieben. / The shoot was fun. I did it in a secluded house and came up with the idea to include objects such as a mirror and plants. It gave me another body sensation to see my body from angles I've never seen before. In the beginning it was a bit strange, but the more pictures you take, the more fun you have in the end and the more you learn to love your body."

"I gotta say... life is boring without a lil' bit of nakey love. And music. Take care of your beautiful body, she does so much for you. Love your rolls and help other people love themselves too. Imma stop being inspirational now haha, but really, what is life without loving yourself?"

"I've obviously taken photos before for previous partners etc and I thought this was going to be the same but this was different. When taking photos in the past I've always tried to look sexy. I've been sucking my tummy in, sitting in particular angles to make sure I appear to have no "fat", and making sure my boobs look perky rather than letting them hang in their natural state. It's so stressful trying to look "perfect" and what you think is attractive to the other person. With this shoot I was able to be completely myself. I didn't have to hide anything. I was acting like a fool, making faces, being silly, singing along to the music and taking photos of parts of my body I had always thought weren't up to standard. We are all beautiful. I am beautiful. I am me and this is me!!"

"Memiliki kamera untuk memotret setiap bagian tubuh saya untuk orang asing adalah salah satu hal paling menantang yang pernah saya lakukan. Yang menantang saya untuk syuting adalah bagaimana menjadi kreatif dengan semua yang saya miliki di kamar saya dan berharap setiap menit teman serumah saya (yang kebanyakan adalah laki-laki) tidak masuk ke kamar saya. Setelah saya mencoba untuk menjadi kreatif dengan semua yang saya miliki di kamar saya sendiri, tanaman pot besar saya jatuh sehingga tanah ada di mana-mana dan kamar saya berantakan. Tapi saya senang saya melakukan pemotretan dan bersenang-senang dengannya. / Having a camera to shoot every single part of my body for strangers is one of the most challenging things I have ever done. What challenged me for the shoot is how to be creative with everything that I have in my room and hoping every single minute that my housemates (which mostly are guys) didn't come in to my room. After I tried to be creative with everything I have in my own room, my big pot plant fell down so the soil was everywhere and my room was a mess. But I am glad that I did the shoot and had fun with it."
