New Releases

"While shooting myself for the second time I was definitely more comfortable taking selfies, I felt less pressure to get the perfect shot and didn't care about the bad angles. I've discovered how beneficial it is to take selfies now and then, reminding me to love the skin I'm in. I will make sure I keep it up. I am grateful to ISM as it has helped me realise this."

"It took me 20 years to love myself and I will never look back! Once I realized how truly beautiful it is to love yourself, fully, I fell in love with every part of life. We are divinity in physical form, Gods and Goddesses, here to embrace our sacred temple! What a sensual and powerful experience! We are the creators of our lives, to expand our love infinitely and give space for others to do the same. To channel our raw, primitive, and deep intuition of who we truly are. Then it all comes easily. I had the most magical time in this sacred space of freeing myself from all limitation and judgement, and enjoy this beautiful body and being! xo"

"I took these photos on my recent adventure to Alice Springs. I took a few up a hill near where I was staying at a converted camel stable and a few more out the back of a roadhouse where our car broke down. The landscape is so beautiful and wild up there, it is such an inspiring and freeing and grounding place, I had so much fun. It was also lovely to get a little sunshine on my vajayjay, and I wholly recommend it."

"This folio is a fun journey of how an idea starts and slowly fades into the abyss! I started trying to develop a theme for my post-sickness body, and being cut free of the mental chains and body-confidence issues which unfortunately (and inevitably) come after being sick! I used the hosiery to represent the thoughts I wear of being sick. I've worn it for the past year of remission and as my body makes changes to become healthy again, so do I have to change my mindset and the way I look at myself. I cut the stockings away as I cut away from my negative thought processes and embraced the new! For me, being healthy is being happy!"

"A few months ago, I dyed my hair blue. I was looking to try out something totally different, and the end result brought me so much joy! I feel like a chubby mermaid (hence the name), and it has changed the way I put my outfits together, it has changed the way I interact with people, and it has resulted in a lot of children smiling at me when they walk past me at the supermarket. I am about to change my hair colour again and wanted to immortalise my blue locks by sharing them with the lovely people of I Shot Myself! I hope you enjoy my beachy waves, my cute chubby tum, and my incredibly unhappy feline accomplice, Bingo. <3"

"I decided to be a part of the I Shot Myself project to bring back my creative side and to find the love for my body that I have lost over the last couple of years. I'm so happy I came across ISM - it has given me something to look forward to in the dark times, its given me an outlet when I'm feeling low. To pick up a camera when my self confidence is down, to look back on the photos I have taken and see that I am beautiful in my own way. Everyone in ISM HQ has been so lovely and understanding, girls supporting girls is a beautiful thing."

"I decided to shoot in my room because I feel it is the space that best represents me and holds all my most treasured and sentimental items. I used some of my plants as props because they're the other things living in my room and I love their form. I did get busted by a passer-by as I live in the front room of the house, the lady seemed polite enough to ignore it, despite our eye contact."

"I really enjoyed the experience of I Shot Myself, I found it rather liberating and exciting. Up until only a couple of years ago I always viewed my body in a negative way. I have most certainly learned to love the skin I'm in and I love my naked body, and I really enjoyed the chance to explore my body through this project. What I did find a challenge is taking so many photos that were all different. It's bloody tough coming up with different ideas and concepts!"

"The shoot was wholesome. I felt instantly comfortable being in my own space that I grew up in at my family's home. Since moving out, I forgot that the kids next door always play on the street right outside my window. I hope they feel as empowered as I did when I was shooting. There's something so liberating about being able to capture different parts of yourself and enjoy and appreciate your own figure."

"The idea for this shoot was rather synonymously perfect in being both a favourite activity that I do for me (for anything between just easing my mind to helping heal and strengthen against my chronic injuries) to something I can feel really sexy doing."

"During my photo shoot I had some incense lit, the lights turned down, and the windows open. I wanted my shoot to be natural but flirty. I tried to put things into the shoot that I loved about myself. For example, the fan I used in several pictures is one of my favorite accessories I own, my friends often call it my signature fan because I take it everywhere. I collect fans from every country I go to, so in a way I feel connected to them. I live on a busy street and my room is on the bottom floor facing the street. During the shoot I was a little apprehensive about the windows being open because several tradies were working on our street and many people walk on our side walks to get to the village. Every now and then I would pop down quickly thinking someone got a quick peek hehe! I wanted the mirror to capture my bedroom because it is a personal space and I feel that people can have better idea of me when seeing it. I felt free, sexy, and confident during this shoot."

"As this was the second time doing an ISM shoot I was filled with excitement and far less anxieties. My experience the first time around was clouded with nerves and self doubt, but only at the beginning, the more photographs I took the more free I felt, the less I cared for the way my body was portrayed. Everyone has their insecurities and rather than hiding them away they should be celebrated, as the human figure is beautiful with all the lumps, bumps, lines and curves. With the confidence that it brought me I was beyond joyed to be asked back as I knew that this time I felt more comfortable with my body than I ever have in the past. I wasn't so critical and careful. The only challenge I faced was hiding away from the prying eyes of neighbours, trying to take pictures outside where anyone could see, running inside fully naked with my breasts flying about as I quickly shut the door, closed the blinds and waited for the foot traffic to pass."

"It was a very cold, overcast day when I photographed myself, so my biggest concerns were staying warm and finding correct lighting. I had no idea how I was going to take so many photos of my body. However, I quickly got into the flow of things and started to relax. I wanted to keep things as natural as possible. I tried to mix up environments and positions to get a varied shoot and I loved incorporating my mirror and pet."

"I find myself fixated these days on the all-encompassing nature of humanity. Of our dark and light, and the sharp and soft corners of our inner and outer worlds. Mirrors facing mirrors - infinite expansion of space. And then you, or me, or we, just here in the middle of it. Always reflecting each other. Always projecting ourselves. And always a little bit of everything at once. So here I am - soaked and spread eagle in the middle for all and myself to see and explore. I care about the details that make up the whole. I am returning to my roots and sensuality. Slipping on cold glass, wobbling on the balls of my feet, and trying to make some sense of the abstract. Ambiguously beautiful all the same."

"This shoot was exciting in so many ways for me. It was the first time I ever took nude pics of myself and I did it in a room with a large window facing the street. Would someone see me? Weird thought in a way (as these photos go online) but anyway. After getting used to the whole situation I started feeling more comfortable with every picture taken and it actually turned me on feeling so in tune with my body and just exploring."
