Amber_Leigh//"jigsawpicnic"
"I wanted to be playful in this shoot and celebrate the warmer weather, and my exhibitionism. I decided a fun way to do that was have a naked picnic in a pretty garden, and combine nature with my natural body. I used my friend's garden and frolicked around to the sound of chickens clucking next door, it was very freeing and enjoyable. I was given a 1000 piece puzzle for my birthday. I find the shape of jigsaw pieces to be quite interesting, so thought that jigsaw pieces scattered over my body would create some cool visual images. I noticed they would stick to me as I was rolling around the bed, but it actually looked really good when they stuck so I utilized this."

Harmony_G//"so_worthy"
"My folio took place in my bedroom which has a large window that looks out onto several backyards. I was a bit worried about being seen as cars were driving by and pedestrians would've been able to see me had they looked up from their phones. There was this one person who was doing laps around the block a few times, but never looked my way. Braxton, the kitty pictured, was feeling a bit neglected so he asked to come in and he settled on me. Initially I tried to wear him as a scarf, but he didn't want any of that. It was such a fun and great shoot. It really tests your creativity."

Vanessa_J//"realeyes"
"I Shot Myself has been absolutely life changing in the way that I view myself, my body and my sexuality. Being able to open up myself in such an unguarded way helped me to see myself through a different set of eyes, and I love what I see. I have a new respect for my body and what I want to feel like every day in it. I feel more empowered and in-touch with myself, and I couldn't be happier. I would encourage every single person to explore themselves, their view of themselves and their sexuality intimately. Happiness and confidence in yourself is something that no one can take away from you!"

Shae_Simone//"3_Flavours"
"I was getting really turned on when getting ready for this shoot, and I literally could not wait to play with myself. When I brought out my vibrator, there was actually a while where I forgot to take pictures! I was so wet the whole time. I had so many ideas and couldn't choose which one, so I did three different scenes with different flavors. First I put on a luxurious fur coat and that's where I got really sexy with myself. As I said I just couldn't wait. Then I put on my bikini (briefly) and shot myself around the pool. For the last part I got really creative and artsy. I did up my makeup, hair, and costume, fishnets and all, and took the camera out to this cute magical corner of the backyard. I had so much fun throughout the whole thing. I wish I could do it again!"

Selena_V//"assemblage"
"This outdoor shoot was done in a variety of locations. I found it challenging to find appropriate places to shoot but it was also super rewarding when it all came together! One of the locations was an outdoor area by a river, and I found myself in an interesting situation when people rowed past. This shoot was particularly exciting for me as I was able to explore my body in the open, fresh air. It allowed me to gain a new sense of freedom with my body which I couldn't have gained anywhere else! I thank mother nature for this one!"

Gaia_S//"Ecosensual"
"I wanted this shoot to be as raw, wild and fun as possible. Trekking through a thick forest with a heavy mirror was all worth it once I was naked, amongst giant trees, feeling like a fairy queen. Embracing my natural self in this environment I felt timeless. Like the beauty I was expressing has always existed in every wild woman that has ever come before me."

Diane_G//"le_fleuriste"
"Je suis fleuriste et francaise. On compare souvent la beaute d'une femme a celle d'une fleur. J'ai donc mis mon peau nue devant ces fleurs car avec leurs couleurs, textures et leurs odeurs, elles n'ont accompagnes lors de ce shooting. J'ai eu une attention particuliere pour la lumiere / I'm French and a florist. In France, we often compare women's beauty to a flower. I put my naked skin close to flowers with their colors, textures and smell makes me more confident, like if some beautiful friends were with me. I took real care to have a beautiful lighting to use."

Eleanor_G//"cherry_baby"
"I like the word cherry. Cherry blossom, cherry lips, Cherry Bar. I hate cherry shaped earrings and cherry patterned dresses. I like the feel and the connotations the word has when you use it. I wish I smelt like cherry. Funnily enough, I actually hate the taste. But I saw this t-shirt in my wardrobe and knew I had to feature it in my shoot, because I feel like "Cherry Baby" somehow perfectly describes me. I am forever in fishnets and boots and red coloured clothing."

Michaela_J//"perkypeach_2"
"I love my butt, it's my favourite thing on my body because it's nice and round, it's got a lot of fat and it's nice and jiggly, like a peach. So I didn't get the biggest boobs, but I got the butt. And you can't complain with that."

Mandy_K//"HungryMouse"
"It took me a long time to actually do the shoot. I live with two other women and one of them is never at home while the other one always is. Finding privacy to do the shoot was a challenge. I was so hungry during the shoot but didn't stop to eat because I was having so much fun shooting myself! Hence the name!"

Elizabeth_R//"prettymind"
"Taking part in this photo shoot with ISM is something else. It's raw and accepting of your entire being. I felt artistic just by seeing my own form. I want more women to do this to further fall in love with themselves like I did. At times I did feel like I was in a porno but it's all in your facial expression and what you're feeling on the inside. Pretty women with pretty bodies and no doubt pretty minds."

Rose_P//"pink_parts"
"Sometimes I dream about a pink beach - I'm in the swirling, baby pink water, it's warm and I feel dazed and content. The tide pulls and pushes me gently and slowly. I lay my head back to view the salmon pink sky - there is never a cloud, a sun, stars or moon in this sky. In any other dream I would be joined by friends, strangers, animals, friendly ghosts and fantastical creatrues, but here I am always on my own, with not a word to speak or a thought to spare for anything or anyone. I found out recently that in Europe prison cells are painted "cool down pink" to reduce aggressive behavior, lower blood pressure and have a calming effect on inmates. Lucky bastards. I don't think I'm capable of landing myself in pink prison, so I've decked out my own little cell with shades of calming pink. This shoot came about on a day that I had bustling with plans. I think I bailed on 4/6 plans and stayed home to get naked and roll around on my velvet pink bedsheets. You probably wouldn't have met a lil' scamp as happy as I on that day. Viva's blurb on my "millennial pink" videos from IFM really inspired me to capture all of my lush and blush bits in an ISM shoot."

Tatyana_S//"pryazha"
"Oh no, there is gold paint on the camera...is it a good idea to use acrylic paint on skin? Well, too late anyway. This is getting fun! The yarn feels as if it is accentuating but also criss-crossing the lines of my body."

Zoe_C//"girlinamber"
"I was initially amping myself up to do this shoot, really mentally preparing. I put on a bunch of makeup and made a little set up in my court yard. I snapped away for like 2 hours in the freezing cold and nearly got frost bite... The pictures where good and I even showed my friend who told me she loved them, buuuut I just felt really uncomfortable for some reason, like I wasn't representing myself authentically at all. I ended up deciding to delete them all and not do the project. The next day I woke up and I just had a feeling that I was going to be missing out on something really important for me, so I tried again! This time I just took pictures in my warm, cosy bedroom and wore minimal makeup. I also included my lil' bunny babies Frankie (cream) and Lola (grey). It was SO FUN. I felt great, no doubts, nothing, just yumminess."

Lou_E//"sheislight"
"This shoot was completely different to my first, I was outside and had decided to do this on my balcony so the chances of being seen by someone were pretty huge! I felt liberated and excited about doing the shoot in a new environment, this was the first time I'd gotten naked outside like this before. I loved the contrast of this shoot and my previous which was inside and I feel very feminine, this one got me a little dirty from the floor which I think looked pretty cool. It was amazing to have the natural light and be able to play around with that."
