New Releases

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Why not levitate to a higher level of understanding and self exploration, by doing a reading in my most natural form? Naked and comfy amongst a myriad of scarves and symbolic trinkets, I get a little light headed from the incense, and feel myself being transported into a realm of higher perspective. Who knew reaching nirvana could feel so sexy?"

"This series was taken in my new home in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. At the time I took these photos I was recovering from a broken leg so I would fall over quickly after the photos were taken! I have the most wonderful light that comes through the window, it seems to set my hair on fire. Going through the photos again I feel that I really captured my "cheeky" personality through my facial expressions. I'm so glad I have somewhere to send all my nudes because my friends sure are getting sick of them! Enjoy the blue eyes and the sunshine."

"I found the shoot a very liberating and funny experience, even when my friend's boyfriend accidentally walked in on me, everyone found it hilarious. It was interesting to see how relaxed I felt doing it and surprised myself at how open and free I can be. It was fun to see my body in so many different angles that I wouldn't usually see myself from and I really embraced my insecurities and body as a whole."

"I was so excited to do my second shoot for ISM after such an incredible experience with the last one. My housemates planned on leaving town for the weekend and the forecast was looking good so I decided to mix it up and shoot outdoors in my overgrown backyard jungle. The sun was shining and the weather was balmy as fuck. I couldn't think of a better way to welcome spring than some self loving and a butt covered in grass-rash. Thanks ISM xx"

"My set is shot as sort of a "Day in my Life". My favourite places are my room, my workroom, and being outside. I also added in some of my favourite things, like my Xbox controller and props I've made for cosplays. The only thing about shooting outside on a hot day is that there are HEAPS of mozzies, and mozzies love me. Pretty sure I got bit on the butt at some point. Worth it!"

"I absolutely loved doing this intimate shoot, with the perfect sunlight. Every angle, I love my body more and more and can't think of a better homage than to share it with you. I loved being able to show myself off with sunlight streaming in, and loved how natural and intimate the setting was. I tried to completely let myself go and just feel every second of the shoot with no stress and naturalness. ISM has given me the opportunity to spend more time on myself, and I couldn't be more thankful. I encourage absolutely everyone to take the time to love yourself every second of every day. Thank you, ISM!"

"When I first started this project, I felt empowered like never before. I got right into it, taking tonnes of photos, minute after minute, seeing new angles and shapes my body made and loving everything I saw. Then, after 2 hours my mood changed, I couldn't get back into the swing of it, I was too hungry. "Fuck this" I thought, and brought the camera into the kitchen with me and continued snapping my now loudly grumbling belly. Ya girl's gotta eat, but I can't just live on carrots, however much of a rabbit I am. Having this shoot be so open and really anything and everything is possible and accepted, I had some real fun making some tasty cookies, whilst naked and dancing around the house. Most of all, it made me realise that while being silly and weird, I can still be beautiful."
