New Releases

"I got away for a day from uni and headed with a friend to the mountains. He kept watch and helped me tackle the sun's glare off all the snow. I truly love the winter here and I wanted to showcase that. The blue sky was a perfect chance, but I still had to bundle up and warm up a few times through the shoot. It felt so cool though having the sun so warm on my skin while the winds were so cold. This shoot reminded me that I need to get out a bit more, but after being dressed and walking for a bit, I saw two (presumably) cougars jump out of the trees up the hill...so maybe there is such thing as too vulnerable."

"During this shoot I struggled a little with finding good lighting in my room, I have such a dark house! I had to shoot in the same place as last time so I tried to mix it up a bit by using different backdrops and colours. Once again I loved to express my personal style and creativity in the photos. I would really love to do my next one outdoors but I'm yet to find a spot I can shoot myself without being seen by strangers."

"I have just moved in to this new apartment and almost everything has been unpacked, though there are still lots of items that haven't found their home yet. It being a small apartment and trying to find interesting places to shoot was a challenge - see kitchen images. My little doggo, Little Miss (mini Dachshund) had been home alone all morning and would not leave my side; reclining next to me on the sofa or floor or just generally jumping all over me on the bed, hence her being in some of my photos."

"In some pictures you can see that I'm a bit wary and in some I'm cracking up because I had to do the shoot with builders working parallel to my windows on the first floor. I had been waiting for a day when they weren't working but there wasn't one! So I thought fuck it, they probably can't see me (or not very well at least). I'm not 100% sold on the photos I took and sad that I couldn't be as creative as I wanted to be because of not living alone and the builders didn't help things either, but c'est la vie."

"I chose the forest to shoot in because it is the place I feel the most serene. I love the way it sounds in its heavy stillness, absorbing all noise from the outside world and muting it. Leaving you at home with just yourself and the birds in the trees. In order to phase out everything outside of me and fully sit with myself, I felt this would be the perfect place. It was a pleasure to see myself unabridged through this lens. I had the time to appreciate my subtle tones and really view myself in a way I had never experienced before. The forest roughed me up a bit by the end and I really enjoyed that."

"I am so lucky to have this little piece of paradise in the big smoke to call home with people who appreciate it with me! And of course, the felines who complete the household."

"So of course I have sent nudes before but never have I ever taken it to a more professional level. I didn't realise how creative you can get when you explore taking nudes. I for one didn't ever think of taking a picture with my toe til' now! I always hear people/friends say "You shouldn't sell yourself" or "Don't show off your body" "Respect yourself" and honestly in this experience I gained more respect for myself and realised I love myself in my own skin, and that I should have no worries about showing off my body!"

"I've always wanted to do a shoot like this one. My confidence in photo shoots and videos have awakened more within me since I've gotten older. I love making videos and taking shots, so doing this shoot made me very happy. I did laugh at myself sometimes because all of the crazy positions I got myself into."

"My whole room was rearranged for this shoot! As well as this, I utilised some of my greenery to help me feel like a jungle woman and had such a lovely time, chlorophyll and skin is a magical combination. I felt as though it was possibly even more explorational and enjoyable somehow than the first one, it didn't seem to come as easily but that made my experience perhaps more valuable. This is documentation of me reveling in the bliss of inhabiting my very own earthly vessel!"

"ISM is amazing! I love that they use everyday people - REAL people, with beautiful flaws and all! I wanted to contribute to ISM because there was a time that I absolutely hated my body, and there will be others out there who may feel the same way, so being about to share my naked body to the world gives other people the confidence to be comfortable in their own skin too. Nobody should feel anything less than beautiful. Everyone is unique, and that's what makes everyone independently special."

"It is the third time to do "ishotmyself". It's been 4 years since last time. During these years, I got a big change. I got married and became a mother. But same thing is I still can find my passion with photo shoots. The difference is I am more mature and more relaxed in front of the camera. I really enjoy to shoot myself and happy to share my body to others. I also find beauty is not just the outside but more the spirit in the soul. I'm very happy about working with ISM again. Being a model makes me more confident and find the true nature of me. With time goes by, people's beauty may fade out, but they would get more in their minds. Thank you ISM."

"J'ai effectue le shooting en deux fois. J'ai du arreter la premiere fois car je me photographiais chez mon copain et j'ai du me cacher de ses colocataires ce qui a ete une grande mission! Mais j'ai beaucoup aime faire ces photos et j'ai pris plaisir a trouver toutes ces idees et objets qui m'ont permis de nourir ma creativite. / I shot my folio in two batches. I had to stop the first time because I was shooting at my boyfriend's house and had to hide from his housemates which was a big mission! In the second one I broke the mirror I used to shoot some of my photos. I really liked doing the shoot and finding all these little ideas and props that made me improve my creativity."

"This shoot felt really different to my first experience. It was shot in my roommate's and my own room, so I was able to relax even more. The last shoot was playful and had me giggling at myself, but in this shoot I felt sexier because I was in my own space and able to express my sexuality freely. I enjoyed the sort of voyeuristic notion that someone seeing these photos would see me naked in my own room, from the angle of my window."

"It was a great experience which I had a lot of fun with. It was a little challenging to do the whole shoot with the camera yourself and to not be able to use the self timer but I gave it a go and I'm happy with how it turned out and I hope you are too!"

"Aventure. Un de mes mot preferes. Celui qui me permet de me faire un etat des lieux de ma vie, m'amuses-je ou non? Ce shoot c'etait une aventure. Attendre que les collocs s'en aillent, tendre l'oreille sans cesse pour m'assurer que personne ne rentre plus tot que prevu, deplacer le bordel dans ma chambre a plusieurs reprises, faire attention a ne pas marcher sur le chat qui dormait la. Et le plus drole pour la fin... J'etais nue comme un vers dans la cour de derriere quand la porte s'est subitement refermee. Une porte qui ne s'ouvre que de l'interieur. J'ai du escalader, grimper jusqu'au toit en tole, brulant a cause du soleil, et faire tout un tas d'acrobatie pour redescendre cote salon, ou j'avais heureusement laisse une porte ouverte... Les voisins ont-ils vu ce drole de chat? / Adventure. One of my favourite words. It makes me think about my life, am I having fun atm or not? This shoot was an adventure, waiting for the housemates to leave the house, listening to make sure no one is coming back home early, tidy up the mess in my room a few times, make sure I don't step on the cat who was laying there (what a life). And the funniest story for the end... I went to my backyard to take pictures, I was completely naked, looking for a spot when I saw the door shutting. This door can only be opened from inside... I had to climb the BBQ and the wall, get on top of the rooftop which was boiling because of the sun, and do some kind of body tricks to get back in the other backyard, where I had left a door open, thank God!"
