Redbird//"Way_Down_Now"
"My house is my sanctuary and safe space and where I feel most comfortable, so I was really excited to do this shoot inside her warm, cosy womb. Normally when I do a shoot I'll shave my legs and armpits, trim my pubes and fuss over my difficult locks. I sort of love that part of it, as it gets me in the mood for shooting. On this particular day however I did none of that. It was the first day of my period and I hadn't even had my first (of many) coffees yet. I just had a shower, slapped on a bit of mascara and lippy and got stuck into it, and it turned out to be one of my favourite shoots thus far. I had World Party cranked and let Karl Wallinger's superb vocals and lyrics wash over me. I felt happy and confident and sexy, which isn't super common for me much these days. The delightfully mustardy room, my various lil' planty guys, and the use of a mirror to properly showcase my swurvy curvy lil' bod complimented my style aesthetic poifectly and I've never seen my bum look so cute before either!"

Jocelyn//"Asteraceae"
"I had a swim in the creek the day before and woke up with my hair tangled from the muddy water. Regardless, I had a strong instinct that this was the day to do my shoot. I created a nice ritual of setting my space, rubbing essential oils over my body and playing funky soul music on the speakers. I wasn't sure how I would feel in front of the lens. I had run the scenario in my head but it wasn't until I had pinned up my hair and flicked on the camera that I felt this overwhelming feeling of 'YES'. I collected all the mirrors in my house and had a lot of fun exploring my body from different angles. Being able to incorporate my love of plants into this shoot felt like the perfect setting for me. I had so much fun and can't wait to do this again in a different context!"

"I'm not in the most private location with apartments out every window of the house, and unfortunately the light isn't great in most rooms of the house. I had to crawl out onto our balcony so none of the copious amounts of windows staring at the balcony had a free show. I'm sure someone definitely got a free peep show at some stage though. I also had two glasses of wine in my photos which I had planned to have a sneaky session to myself after the shoot but I got so carried away taking the photos and forgot I was meant to be meeting someone in town for a date and I had to ditch them! One wine was actually also stale and I mixed them up so I wouldn't be able to drink them after either. Amateur!"

Beth_C//"cherrybound"
"I shot myself in my bedroom. I wanted to show my love of naughty play and I felt really horny and sexy afterwards. I really enjoyed shooting this, as it was in one of my comfort zones. I wanted to feel comfortable and warm and free to show all sides of myself, especially since this was a longer shoot than what I have done previously. I hope you enjoy viewing my shoot as much as I enjoyed making it."

"I'm forever fascinated by exploring the boundaries of art and porn. Also, I like covering myself in paint and being a slutty, weirdo creep."

Sabrina_G//"InDenWald"
"Auf der Suche nach etwas Privatsphaere hat es eine Freundin und mich in die Waelder und einige verlassene Sackgassen verschlagen. Sich vor Wanderern und Touristen zu verstecken war aber super lustig und mindestens die Haelfte des Spasses an der Sache. Wenn man anfaengt mit dem Shoot spielt das aber keine wirkliche Rolle mehr. Man erlebt seinen eigenen Koerper ganz anders und neu und das hat fuer mich alles andere ausgeblendet. / Looking for some privacy, me and a friend went into the woods and around some abandoned dead ends. Hiding from hikers and tourists was super funny and at least half of the fun in the matter. But once you've started the shoot, that does not really matter anymore. You experience your own body completely different and new and that has hidden everything else for me."

Amelie_F//"GeishaBall"
"Doing the shoot initially took me out of my comfort zone. I can happily be naked/partly dressed and nap or have a bath and wander around when alone and unembarrassed. Once I turned on the camera however, I realised it was fun and required some fiddling around too. I had planned on having a nap and quiet time after lunch and I wanted a bath to relax my back (I work on a tree farm, so my body feels tired some days). It was good to start the shoot in my room then I turned off the camera and had a really lovely time soaking in the bath. I use a geisha ball because I orgasm more intensely when I'm wearing it. :)"

Zoe_C//"moodexperiment"
"I found this shoot to be a little more challenging than the first simply because I felt the pressure not be repetitive with angles ect. After a while though I think I got back into the mood of it all and began to have fun! Taking photos of yourself naked is such an interesting experience especially when you're trying to take them in places with good lighting and not being seen by people walking past on the street haha. The key I feel is to just have fun with it and experiment!"

Desiree_C//"drolebeau"
"Ce tournage était tellement amusant! Explorer mon corps et ma créativité, essayer de trouver des poses drôles, belles et folles et des objets avec lesquels photographier. Ce folio a été fabriqué dans une belle maison avec beaucoup de choses que j’ai utilisées pour le rendre plus amusant. / This shoot was SO FUN! Exploring my body and creativity, trying to find funny, beautiful, crazy poses and objects to shoot with. This folio was made in a beautiful house with loads of things I used to make it more fun."

Lyndel//"middaybreak"
"This shoot was originally imagined as incorporating the outdoor bath tub we've built up in the yard, but I decided to start at the small tea table and chairs under the trees and enjoyed getting creative there! The sun kept popping in and out, the design of the furniture was intricate and aged and the colours appeared so vibrant, it worked so well. I also really loved that I got to enjoy my coffee throughout and as part of the shoot! Perfect midday break to the gardening and yard work."

Minka_G//"twinpeaks"
"I had so much fun shooting this folio. It really pushed me to get creative with using the lighting and certain angles. I felt like a contortionist trying to get the shots of my butt, especially since I have such short arms. Hey, at least now I know how to take selfies with my feet :P I'm not sure why but I just wanted to put my bare butt on every surface and so I did!"

Lucy_H//"geological"
"What inspired my photoshoot was the location and how I felt being in such a beautiful spot outdoors. The first time I did the I Shot Myself project, I was hoping to execute it out in nature, however that day it was rainy and overcast and I was left to be creative within the confines of my bedroom. When the opportunity came around this time to do another shoot, I jumped at it, wanting to make use of the gorgeous sunshine and the incredible rock faces by the water at this particular location. I found it so inspiring the way the angles and shapes of my body mimicked those of the sandstone walls around me. It felt incredibly freeing being able to strip down in such a beautiful natural environment and celebrate both myself and the landscape around me - after all, we are all nature. Being naked in the open sunshine allowed me to feel powerful and sensual and sexy, and feel a deeper connection to myself and my surroundings. I am so happy I got to capture that and share it with the ISM community."

Xaoc//"partes_intimas"
"Experimenting by myself with my body and with the shots has been great. Although sometimes it overwhelmed me, I enjoyed the challenge of taking pictures with natural light in my home which is a stone house with small windows. I wanted to do something very natural as a kind of tour of my house so it has an intimate part of me, since my home is like a temple for me, I have a lot of affection for it. I hope to transmit what I intended."

Ri//"inhermind"
"Coming into this shoot, I felt nervous. Although I feel in touch with my sexuality, I've never so openly and voraciously explored, connected and presented it before. I knew that I wanted the setting to reflect the smooth, deep, tonal and comfortable sense that I feel within my skin; and so my bedroom was the perfect choice. Deep colours of jade, purple and orange are my soul colours, it makes sense that they feature so prominently in my home space. I wore the clothing I feel sexiest in, and was reflecting upon why I rarely wear them in my normal life. Where does the hesitancy I have towards embracing sexy come from? The sense of pride, power and sex that overcame me in my shoot was invigorating. I orgasmed! On camera! It was me, capturing me, pleasuring me. If that isn't pure self love, I don't know what is. Sexy is a colour I want to wear more often. My room represents my mind, and I explored sex so intensely in that moment. So, welcome to my conscious experience of sexuality."

Johanna_B//"seinspublique"
"Het hele folio is in de publieke ruimet getrokken. Dit bleek een hele vitdaging te zijn. Deze foto's zijn kwetsbaar en het risico om betrapt te worden was groot. Tock voelde het beaurijdend, zo eerlijk, zo pleasant. Ik ben mezelf all maar mooier gan viden. Meit voelde steeds alsofmijn armen tekort waren am ieder perspectief in bald te brengen. / The whole folio is shot in public spaces and this was a pretty big challenge. Not only did I share these intimate moments with the camera, but also with the city. Every time, every moment there was a big risk of being caught. I always felt as if my arms where too short to shoot every angle! Still it felt very liberating, honest, and fun. I only feel more beautiful."
