New Releases

"Over my lifetime as a female I've felt strange and shy about my body, the minute it started to develop and change. I didn't like certain things, getting my period and bloating was the worst - I felt fat and disgusting for a whole week. Being bullied at school was something that changed my perspective on myself, in a negative way. I was always called fat and weird and told I didn't fit in and never would. As a young woman it really affected my self reflection and the way I viewed myself. Now as a 20 something, in the midst of my busy schedule, I don't even give a thought to those bullies in high school. I'm young, semi-successful and I love the way a pair of jeans hugs my curves. I love eating a whole block of chocolate when I'm bloated and cramping. The point is, it shouldn't matter what anyone else says or thinks of you or your body, you need to be the first and only person who matters about what anyone thinks of how you look naked or not! I really want this shoot to be something everyone can look at and realise that it's okay to be bloated, have cellulite, rolls, curves, lumps and bumps. It's all part of being a woman, no matter the day! We are ALL BEAUTIFUL!"

"I did this shoot in the coastal town of Lorne where my partner and I went away for our anniversary together. Despite the fact that August is a rather chilly time of year to celebrate an anniversary by the beach, we had an amazing time."

"This was my first 'I Shot Myself' project. I had heaps of fun creating the set, and figuring out new ways to hold the camera and take new styles of selfies. I used my toes to take a few images which I found quite amusing and interesting, and the effect on the images is great! I set the style to represent some of my personality, I like books, bright colours, tea (of course, being British!) and the beautiful windows! A funny thing that happened while shooting this set was that someone caught me taking naked selfies through the window and just stared at me for a while, I apologised and slowly closed the window. It was pretty awkward, but ah well I made an awesome set haha!"

"I picked up the camera and just went for it. I went through an entire battery before I looked back through the images. It was really interesting seeing the evolution of the shoot. At first my body was stiff, muscles tense. Progressively I loosened up, shapes and angles changed, it was really quite a beautiful euphoric moment. If I hadn't ran the battery dry I would have kept going!"

"Sempre gostei de tirar nudes artisticos, na natureza em especial.., nunca tive vergonha ou medo de quem possa ver as fotos (exceto minha familia). No entanto participar desse projeto foi um pouco desafiador pra mim, pois sempre outras pessoas quem tiraravam as fotos e elas eram sempre tiradas de longe, e dessa vez eu mesma tive que tirar as fotos, de perto. Mas no final ao fazer as fotos eu me senti bonita, sexy e confiante. Tambem me senti livre e empoderada! / I always liked to take artistic nudes, especially in nature. I was never ashamed or afraid of anyone who could see the photos (except my family). However participating in this project was a little challenging for me, because other people always took the photos and they were always taken from a distance, and this time I had to take the pictures, close up. In the photos I felt beautiful, sexy and confident. I also felt free and empowered!"

"I'm in love with red this winter and wanted to make these photos colourful and with a bit of pop, it turns out I own a lot of red. I have always wanted to take some nudes on my rug, I love the contrast of skin against it. I wasn't sure that it was possible to find more different angles than I had done in the last shoot but surprised myself and managed to get super bendy and find some more. I had so much fun rolling around my lounge room taking these photos. My grumpy cat tried to sleep through the whole thing and bit my toe when I took up too much of her sleeping space. I had a failed attempt at getting some cheeky snaps with her but she wasn't having any of it."

"This shoot was certainly a challenge on the creative side, trying to come up with interesting, sexy and different photos was tricky! I was a little confronted by seeing very different, "non-sexy" angles of my body, but soon decided to embrace it and just go for it! This was definitely a positive experience and I support the message behind these shoots!"

"I loved to do this shoot. It was my second one and I could just jump straight into it. I really wanted to be outdoors this time and it made me feel just as free as I thought it would. Being outdoors with the fresh air, natural light and sounds from nature made me feel naturally beautiful. It was hard to find a good spot because I live in a big sharehouse with a lot of people around all the time, but I don't think anyone saw me (although I was right outside my housemate's bedroom window with him inside). I don't even know if I would care, I felt so happy and comfortable I didn't even want to put my clothes back on when the shoot was over. ISM has really helped me to accept my body as it is and I'm so proud of being a part of it all."

"Ho deciso di affrontare questo progetto per riscoprire me stessa da un altro punto di visto erotico, specialmente riscoprire la mia bellezza vaginale. E' stato molto divertente fare delle foto nel mio giardino con i cani, sopratutto quando ho scoperto che i miei vicini mi guardavano dalla finestra scioccati. Molto divertente! Comunque non ho nessun problema nel mostrarmi nuda davanti alle altre persone ed ora grazie a questo progetto anche i miei conquilini non hanno piu nessun problema nel vedermi nuda in giro per casa. / I decided to throw myself into this project to be able to see myself from another more erotic point of view and especially rediscovering my vagina's beauty. It was pretty funny taking different pictures with my dogs in the back garden and just realized after a couple of hours that my neighbors were looking at me through the window in shock!! Really funny!! Anyway I don't have any problems to be naked in front of another person, because I'm really feeling confidence with my body. Even my roommates don't have any problems in seeing me naked around the house."

"This was my easiest shoot to deliver yet! I found it just flowed through me, I felt like I was just being myself which is a great feeling. You don't have to try at all when that happens! I felt like a mystical elf just going about her day, I was prancing around as I took photos. During the shoot the lights from the blinds came through, and it added a nice look and made it more exciting to play with. I can't wait to do it again!"

"I wanted my shoot to be comfortable and sexy, which it was. I often hang out naked on my couch, so this is me, relaxing naked on the couch and feeling sexy. I hope you enjoy seeing my images as much as I enjoyed creating them."

"For this shoot, I went to my favourite abandoned warehouse, which to my surprise was newly boarded up and had a silent alarm installed. I broke in anyway, and quickly realised there were fresh security cameras. I thought about giving the security guards watching a show, but decided against it and went to my second favourite spot. A drain out West. It was a beautiful morning and I had fun running around the drain, jumping in the water and hiding from the main road and train station which was a stone's throw away."

"Living with 4 males can be overwhelming and exhausting at times. So when I get the house to myself on a Sunday afternoon, my favourite thing is to find all their big boy toys, like the slingshot and the wood splitter and have my own fun!"

"I found the shoot really intimate and fun. Having struggled with body image before, I was surprised by how much I dug myself in the images. Funny - I was taking the pictures and initially asked my partner to leave the room so I felt more comfortable but they came in while I was taking some, had a look and interrupted to have sex. It's nice to feel validated by an image of yourself as well as reassurance from a partner. I feel full of agency and really hot. I feel like a piece of art. Thanks, ISM!"

"Depuis cette experiance je me sans plus en confiance avec mon coprs et j'ai perdu cette sensation de honte de me montrer. J'en suis meme arriver au point d'etre fiere de mon corp et de mes photos... Se sentir bien dans sa peau devetu est avant tout pour moi une affaire d'education et d'estime de soi et ce shoting ma beaucoup aider a m'accepter et m'aimer tel que je suis ; avec mes imperfection qui au final font de moi une personne unique. / At the beginning of the shoot I was shy with the camera but as I went along, the more I wanted to play and create... I actually took a lot of pleasure in photographing myself."
