New Releases

"I wanted my shoot to be very 'flower power'. I'm obsessed with the 60's/70's and that Summer of Love vibe. My house was built in the 60's and the furnishings are quite dated so it goes well with that feel. I always have plants and flowers in the house and I have a garden so I used these in a cheeky way. The next-door neighbours were trimming their hedge while I was shooting in the garden, which I found hilarious but it made me a bit nervous. My heart was beating fast and I got a little flushed. It was fun and a bit naughty being naked literally metres away from them! I destroyed my housemate's bouquet of flowers, which they weren't too happy about. I used them to shower myself in petals, which felt and smelt really great. I never told my housemate's what their flowers were used for. What a liberating and subversive experience, I want to do it all again."

"As I'm about to step into the shower I decide it's the perfect time to capture this moment. I'm in a spunky and sassy mood, blasting Erykah Badu and feeling untouchable. Today I am the ex wife you can't stop thinking about. I've reinvented myself and moved on to bigger and better things. After taking a few pics I feel even more connected with my divine temple of a body. This is my definition of the exquisite female form!"

"For me, the bedroom is the most obvious place to conduct the shoot. It's the one place in the world where we should feel comfortable to express ourselves however we please, without the ever-criticizing eye of society pressing down on our every move. Surprisingly enough, nature can also give us this privilege. Before this shoot I had never been naked outside before, and it was very primal and intimate. I sensed a connection with the plants around me, and I could really feel the shy stillness of the forest quietly embrace me. I've recently undergone a lot of personal change and growth, from leaving my parent's home, to finally coming out as a lesbian, and deciding to fully commit to a plant based diet. All these choices and changes have come from me truly listening to my own heart and not just going for the most cold and calculated analysis of every situation. "You mix the mashed potatoes and sauce, you can't separate them later. It's forever. The smoke comes out of Daddy's cigarette, but it never goes back in. We cannot go back. That's why it's hard to choose. You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible." - Nemo Nobody."

"This shoot was taken next to an abandoned mine shaft. It intrigued me as something about it seemed hauntingly beautiful. Something about the dark and mysterious tells you to not go there and beware. Yet this quality is something archetypically feminine, the damp darkness of the void. The intrusion into the earth, symbolically similar to the vagina. Coming to this spot to do this shoot kind of made me afraid. I was uncertain if someone would see me, what was hiding in the tunnel, or if there were ghosts or some spirit that would haunt me. But when I got there it felt so natural, I became comfortable with the situation. When I became immersed in the beauty of the lush green leaves, the calling birds, the soft dirt, the moist air, and the serenity of the environment, I found it to become arousing, just being by myself, naked in the forest, feeling the sensations of the cold damp air on my skin and the earth between my toes."

"I felt so much more comfortable doing a shoot for the second time, and it felt much more easy going. I had moved houses so I didn't have to worry about neighbors constantly walking by outside or worry about the really bad lighting in my room. That being said; I didn't have as much of a variety of props to choose from so that part had made it a bit more difficult. I found it so much easier to come up with heaps of photos this time round than I did the last time. The mirror I owned was great but I couldn't quite find a towel that would get all the smudges off well enough. Overall though, I think it went really well and I was very happy with a great number of the photos. Thanks again ISM for improving my vision on my body and giving me something fun to do on a Thursday afternoon :)"

"I shot some of these photos on acreage across from my home out in an open meadow, under a huge eucalyptus tree. Not only did I trudge through thistle, but I got chased by bees while butt naked, and I had sheep staring blankly at my naked body which was somewhat unsettling; nevertheless, it was incredible to finally experience my own nudity basking in warm afternoon sun, a cool breeze, completely alone. The rush from potentially being caught was also something I loved; there's just something so cheeky about being caught red handed. Watching the sun change positions in the sky, and how it would cast various shadows over the curves in my body, I'd never seen this beauty in myself before, and I really enjoyed taking my time and experimenting with different angles. The mirror was my best friend for sure. I relish in the opportunity to show myself for who I feel I am, mind, body, and soul. I hope it translates through my images of just how free I felt."

"Esta experiencia foi tao divertida e arriscada. Vivo com mais 6 pessoas sem privacidade nenhuma, tudo foi fotografado em areas comuns. Adorei sentir a adrenalina! Acho que um colega me viu na verdade, espero que tenha gostado! Haha. Quantas mais fotos tirava, mais me sentia sexy, divertida e livre. Tentei mostrar quem sou, simples, divertida, natural e conectada com a natureza. Senti-me sensual, aberta ao mundo e muito suada! (estavam 36 graus, uff) / This was so much fun and risky. I live with 6 more people with no privacy whatsoever, all was shot in common areas. I loved feeling the adrenaline! I think someone saw me actually, I hope they enjoyed it! Haha. The more photos I took, the more I was able to feel sexy, fun and free. I also wanted to really show myself, simple, natural and in tune with the world. I just loved it. I felt flirty, sneaky and hot in every way (36 degree day, damn)."

"I really enjoyed doing this shoot. I did it in my room and bathroom so I eventually became super comfortable doing exposing poses. As I've never actually taken photos of myself naked before, I thought it would be a little difficult as I'm not really happy with my body. Although as I started taking some normal shots, I started feeling so much more comfortable taking the "bits showing" photos. I wish I had more confidence to have been able to go to an outdoor place to do the shoot, but I'm just really proud of myself that I gave it a go. It made me so much more comfortable and confident in my skin! I'm super happy I got the opportunity to be able to do this shoot."

"It's nice to be able to take a camera home and somewhat brag about yourself a bit, because when do we ever get permission to just talk about ourselves in this way? I felt like a 13 year old again, putting on music and dancing in front of the video camera instead of a mirror like I always do. I had my windows open for this shoot and every now and then someone would walk by and I'd pop down quickly haha."

"There was beautiful sunshine for the first day in months when I started my shoot. Peeling the layers off gave me butterflies and flutters in my heart. My yard was in the middle of a busy suburb and I knew I would be partially visible to the curious passerby. Exciting and frightening."

"I love shooting for ishotmyself. I feel so good during and after taking images of myself, knowing it'll pleasure someone else too. I changed my hair which completely altered how I look, including my skin tone. It's really exciting to capture so many different types of images and release creative and sensual vibes!"

"Tuve mi sesion de fotos en mi acogedora habitacion, habia dejado las cortinas abiertas y mis vecinos me vieron desnuda mientras corria por la habitacion para obtener lindas fotos. Una de mis companeras de casa abrio la puerta de mi habitacion mientras yo estaba sacando fotos de mi vagina y sostenia mi vibrador de conejo, ella se sintio muy incomoda con la situacion que solo se fue. De todos modos tuve una sensual y adorable fin de semana creando esta linda y adorable sesion de fotos y tambien jugando conmigo misma muy intenso, debo admitir que lo disfrute mucho. / I did the shoot in my cute room, it was pretty nice because I had the curtains open and I know that my neighbors saw me naked hahaha. Also one of my flatmates opened the door of my room when I was taking a cute photo of my vagina while I was holding my rabbit vibrator, she felt very uncomfortable with this situation. Anyway I had a lovely weekend working on my amazing photos and playing rough with myself and I really enjoyed it so much."

"I find that the most beautiful places can be the old discarded and forgotten in-between space next to creeks of drainage gullies. Plants and trees are allowed to grow a little wild and messy and maybe that's why I'm drawn to them; because I can be a bit wild and unkempt myself. In this shoot I specifically played with bright colour contrasts. It was also fun to play with interesting camera angles and flow with the creative process. I hope this shoot inspires everyone to explore the forgotten and have a little fun in the woods."

"I took my photos in my bedroom where I feel most comfortable. I enjoyed rolling around on my faux fur, using some props and generally feeling luxurious. I wish that photos could capture the scent of a scene as well, because I used some scented oils and perfumes to make myself feel more glamorous and I felt it really complemented the photos. Think: rum and raisin, cinnamon and vanilla! With that in mind, I know even without the camera I will spend a lot more time in my room nude now that I have become accustomed to it. Hope the neighbours don't mind."

"For this shoot I decided for the location to be outdoors and among as much nature as possible. I really enjoyed being outside and freely naked, as doing ISM has made me more comfortable in being an exhibitionist, so it made me feel more free than the shoot I completed indoors. I strongly wanted to incorporate plants in my shoot as I feel sexuality and nature go so well together. As it was a public space it felt a little risky and required me to be vigilant of passers by, the sounds of dogs barking in the park on the other side of the river was only distracting for the first few photos. A few people did walk past but very luckily it was in between photos and I was wearing my coat. I definitely enjoyed this shoot more as it was in such a tranquil place and was a great environment to spend the afternoon, and even more fun not being clothed."
