"It took a lot of time to build enough confidence to do this shoot. I very much enjoy being the observer... covering my walls in shitty printed out photos of beautiful nude women, rather than drawing any attention to myself. For a long period of time, my personal art practice focused around photographing myself in my home and garden and public, interacting with my environment and objects I sculpted from clay. I grew really strong bonds with these objects. So to explore this again came quite naturally, which made me feel really comfortable and free to relax... only this time, fully naked. How much closer can you get to your surroundings??"

"This time around the shoot felt familiar yet surprisingly different. I'm a little older now and lots has changed since my last ISM shoot. Leading up to the shoot I felt unexpectedly nervous but once I got going it was just like riding a bike. I guess the nervousness stems from the fact I no longer work as a stripper and that its been a long time since I was able to indulge in my exhibitionist side. I had great fun with this shoot and it was nice to get back in touch with my body and my creative side."

Nolane//"toute_seule"
"J'ai beaucoup aime faire ces photos. J'en avais deja fait seule auparavant et je me rend compte que je prends vraiment du plaisir devant l'objectif. Je ne suis plus embarrasse devant un appareil lorsque je suis seule. Je peux completement me liberer et etre en harmonie avec mon corps et mes pensees quelle qu'elle soit. / I really liked doing these pictures. I had already done this alone before and I realize that I really enjoy the goal. I'm not embarrassed in front of a camera when I'm alone. I can completely liberate myself and be in harmony with my body and my thoughts, whatever it is."

"It was a lot easier to get into the mood the second time around as you kind of know what you're up to. The joy of me being with my body and celebrating my body with a photo shoot is such a massive boost! All is connected and me appreciating my sensuality and nudity makes the world beam more in my eyes. That was the surprise I found. The positive effects from an experience like this carry so much further than we expect. I'll be having a very good rest of my day. Probably week."

Akosua_S//"NewLookWhoDis"
"For my whole life my hair has been a huge part of my identity; chopping it all off and taking part in ISM at the same time was purely coincidental but it has actually been a perfect opportunity for me to embrace my physical form without my hair stealing the show. ISM was the first time I'd taken erotic photos since shaving my head and it has really given me a boost of self love for this new version of myself. This skin head is sexy and empowered and loves what red lippy does for her look. I felt wonderful being out in my garden getting grass and dirt on my ass. It started to rain during the shoot so I was fully drenched in the elements, just how I like it."

"I absolutely loved doing ISM. Feeling even more inspired and creative than my last shoot and I recommend the experience to anyone looking to feel empowered! I feel that I'm gaining a better knowledge of light and angles as it was really fun to play around with. I took my time to find the best spot at home to get naked and enjoy the light! Taking a moment to appreciate your natural form is a beautiful thing and I'm so thankful ISM can allow me to do that."

Victoria_T//"she_loves_me"
"Traté de poner a mi cachorro en el rodaje, pero él no tenía nada de eso. Además, cuando estaba envuelto en mi sesión de fotos, me di cuenta de que mi primo venía por el jardín con los contenedores, mirando por la ventana cuando la tenía completamente abierta tratando de obtener la iluminación natural.Deseo volver la semana que viene con una nueva session de fotos, soy una persona timida pero me siento libre haciendo el shoot me e divertido una varvaridad. / I tried to get my puppy in the shoot but he was having none of it. Also, as I was wrapped up in my photo shoot I realised my cousin was coming down the garden with the bins, looking through my window as I had it fully open trying to get the natural lighting in. I want to come back soon with a new photo session. I am a shy person, but I feel free to shoot and had a great variety of fun."

Mel_C//"essentialism"
"I tried to show diversity with my set of images, also encouraging keeping things completely natural to me, like my morning coffee and silly dance ritual. Feeling ourselves is one of the simplest joys and I wanted to highlight that. I caught my landlords and next door neighbours peeking through the fence gaps, so I kept changing location and gave the personal tour of my home."

Izzy_F//"drop_in"
"Amo rilassarmi in posti fuori mano, in posti dove nessun suono prodotto dal uomo mi puo' raggiungere, ascoltare senza interuzzioni i rumori della natura e dei miei pensieri, e' un arte che pur troppo si sta perdendo. Prenditi il tempo di vedere te stessa e il mondo che ti circonda senza condizionamenti. / I love chilling and relaxing in places out of hand, where there is no human sound or interruption. Listening to the sound of life and your own thoughts is an art that is getting lost. Take the time to see yourself and the world that surrounds you without conditioning."

Jenna_B//"gottabekind_1"
"A day in the life...but instead it's two separate days because I had to save my friend and his dead car battery. I wanted to give you an insight into my mornings, my practice and me just being a big dork most of the time. I felt really comfortable on camera, I liked having a bit of a boogie and talking to the camera about my worries and my loves and my passions."

Camilla_P//"flesh_love"
"I have always been a painfully self-conscious person but exploring and appreciating almost every inch of my body in this project has resulted in a beautiful unfamiliar love for my flesh vessel, so I have named this folio FLESH LOVE. I took this project very seriously which is why I'm not smiling lots, I was too busy observing the shapes my body can make and the feelings that were coming up seeing my body being completely exposed. I got used to it very quickly and now I don't think of sex when I see my naked body, I see a human."

Mavi//"sie_platzt"
"Meine Fenster waren sehr klein und mein Zimmer auch, was das Shooting erwschwert hat. Nachdem ich mich dann etwas frustriert mit der Kamera vor den Spiegel stellte hat es aber nicht lange gedauert bis ich warm wurde und richtig viel Spass hatte. Irgendwann waren mir die Fotos zu klassisch schoen und ich wollte dann die nackte Wahrheit zeigen. Auch meine Vagina zu fotografieren war anfangs unangenehm aber dann ist ein Knoten geplatzt. / My windows were really small and so was my room, which made the shoot more difficult. After standing a little frustrated in front on the mirror it didn't take long for me to get really comfortable and have great fun with myself. Soon the photos seemed too classically beautiful to me so I wanted to show the naked truth. Also shooting my vagina made me uncomfortable at first but then the knot burst."

Mallory//"BringItOnHome"
"During this shoot I played a lot of music - a playlist I've made to connect myself to my work alter-ego. I found that I was easily slipping into Cleo and I had to consciously draw a line between her and myself. It's difficult to create someone who is seen as a fantasy and then stop yourself from being that person in everyday life. Cleo is strong and loud, she doesn't get stepped on and she carries herself differently than I do. I am softer and I like being vulnerable. I've taught myself how to be pretty and how to be wanted but in doing that I think I have been hardened. That is going to take a very long time to dismantle. I think that this has been the first step."

Elyse_C//"callipygian"
"Honestly, I really struggled with this project in the beginning. I thought I was going to have a really sweet time and feel really comfortable but it brought up some unresolved issues that I obviously still have with my body. By the time I finished the shoot (it took me about 3 days with having housemates etc) I finally felt comfortable and started to have fun! I forgot to check out the other ways people had taken their photos for inspo so I feel like I kind of went in blind but that really helped me to be authentic with the photos I took. Ishotmyself really hit something deep within me and helped me to enjoy getting in front of a camera which is definitely something I have avoided in the past (fully clothed and naked)."

"Det kandes kul, spannande och sexigt att fota mig sjalv pa stranden da manga tittade undrade vad jag gjorde. Jag gar igang pa att visa upp mig pa offentiliga platser. Jag tycker bilderna blir finare nar jag har kul ocksa, da lyser dom pa nat vis. / It was fun, exciting and sexy to photograph myself on the beach when people looked wondering what I was doing. I am starting to show myself in public places for the thrill. I think the pictures are nicer when I have fun too, then they light up in the night."
