"Being my second shoot, I felt way more at ease with showing my body on camera. I didn't question how much I should be showing or how often I should show certain parts of my body and I was only focusing on the creativity I needed for the shoot. I also played with way more accessories this time around, especially mirrors and this time I was able to use several simultaneously. Lots of angles, lots of things to look at and be distracted by. The best part was walking around the house naked all day, and I even took a break and laid in the sun for an hour. Ishotmyself is a lifestyle!"

"I haven't touched a camera that wasn't a smart phone in about 10 years, who knew taking selfies would be so hard! Poppy the cat snuck into some of the photos, however refused to actually pose in more than one of them. Getting the stray cat hairs off me for the shoot was an issue I didn't anticipate, as was getting Poppy to stop knocking the camera over while she was investigating what was going on. I felt a bit anxious that my roommate was going to come home while I was shooting in the living room but luckily she didn't walk in on me!"

"I shot myself is such an empowering thing to do. The feeling of being naked and taking photos of yourself is always very daunting but I found the more I took the easier it was. This is my second contribution to ISM so I was a little more confident this time, and since my last shoot I've found that I've started to love little things about my body that I didn’t love previously."

"Shooting for this project took more time than I had anticipated however I was really enjoying myself so the time really flew! I realised that the morning sun through my room's large window provided the best setting and clear photos. I did manage to build up enough courage to take the shoot outside on my balcony. I kept having to duck back inside as there were people coming and going and I'm pretty sure the building's gardener got an eyeful!"

"The shoot was more challenging than I initially anticipated. I got caught up in the logistics of it. However, I poured myself a glass of red wine, put on some music and soon relaxed into it. Appreciating the moment rather than attempting to make every photo perfect. My partner walked in mid way and could see how sexy it was making me feel, there was definitely a charge in the air throughout."

"The feeling of the moist ocean air against my skin, heavy wind through my hair, and mud beneath my feet made me feel alive and so connected to the earth. While filming this video, I got to explore private nooks of the beach, go to the bottom of a waterfall, get naked at a lookout, cover myself in rashes from rolling around in ferns, and, best of all, have sex in the forest! I hope you love it as much as I did."

"So this morning before I began my shoot, I went into my Dad's house to see if he was there - he lives in a granny-flat in the backyard. He said "Yeah I'm here, is that all you wanted, you woke me up". I told him that I was going to be taking naked photos of myself, to which he replied "Sure, just let me know when you're done". About an hour later he calls out "Can I come out now?" Nope, not yet ... another 30 minutes go by "What about now? I feel like a prisoner in my own home!" Haha, Sorry Dad, yep, I'm done, you can come out now! Down the side of the house, it is a bit jungle-like, I was being eaten by mosquitoes, so I moved it into my bedroom. I didn't clean up the bedroom, but then I thought, "Well, this is the real me, mess and all". As I was taking photos, I was not 100% sure if I was capturing the right images, I tried to follow the rules of using light to my advantage, shooting a variety pics: close-up, full-frontal, pussy shots, various facial expressions, and lots of vulnerable bits of me that I normally wouldn't feel comfortable showing off - like fat rolls! But this project was fun and liberating."

"I wanted my shoot to be very 'flower power'. I'm obsessed with the 60's/70's and that Summer of Love vibe. My house was built in the 60's and the furnishings are quite dated so it goes well with that feel. I always have plants and flowers in the house and I have a garden so I used these in a cheeky way. The next-door neighbours were trimming their hedge while I was shooting in the garden, which I found hilarious but it made me a bit nervous. My heart was beating fast and I got a little flushed. It was fun and a bit naughty being naked literally metres away from them! I destroyed my housemate's bouquet of flowers, which they weren't too happy about. I used them to shower myself in petals, which felt and smelt really great. I never told my housemate's what their flowers were used for. What a liberating and subversive experience, I want to do it all again."

"As I'm about to step into the shower I decide it's the perfect time to capture this moment. I'm in a spunky and sassy mood, blasting Erykah Badu and feeling untouchable. Today I am the ex wife you can't stop thinking about. I've reinvented myself and moved on to bigger and better things. After taking a few pics I feel even more connected with my divine temple of a body. This is my definition of the exquisite female form!"

"For me, the bedroom is the most obvious place to conduct the shoot. It's the one place in the world where we should feel comfortable to express ourselves however we please, without the ever-criticizing eye of society pressing down on our every move. Surprisingly enough, nature can also give us this privilege. Before this shoot I had never been naked outside before, and it was very primal and intimate. I sensed a connection with the plants around me, and I could really feel the shy stillness of the forest quietly embrace me. I've recently undergone a lot of personal change and growth, from leaving my parent's home, to finally coming out as a lesbian, and deciding to fully commit to a plant based diet. All these choices and changes have come from me truly listening to my own heart and not just going for the most cold and calculated analysis of every situation. "You mix the mashed potatoes and sauce, you can't separate them later. It's forever. The smoke comes out of Daddy's cigarette, but it never goes back in. We cannot go back. That's why it's hard to choose. You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible." - Nemo Nobody."

"This shoot was taken next to an abandoned mine shaft. It intrigued me as something about it seemed hauntingly beautiful. Something about the dark and mysterious tells you to not go there and beware. Yet this quality is something archetypically feminine, the damp darkness of the void. The intrusion into the earth, symbolically similar to the vagina. Coming to this spot to do this shoot kind of made me afraid. I was uncertain if someone would see me, what was hiding in the tunnel, or if there were ghosts or some spirit that would haunt me. But when I got there it felt so natural, I became comfortable with the situation. When I became immersed in the beauty of the lush green leaves, the calling birds, the soft dirt, the moist air, and the serenity of the environment, I found it to become arousing, just being by myself, naked in the forest, feeling the sensations of the cold damp air on my skin and the earth between my toes."

"I felt so much more comfortable doing a shoot for the second time, and it felt much more easy going. I had moved houses so I didn't have to worry about neighbors constantly walking by outside or worry about the really bad lighting in my room. That being said; I didn't have as much of a variety of props to choose from so that part had made it a bit more difficult. I found it so much easier to come up with heaps of photos this time round than I did the last time. The mirror I owned was great but I couldn't quite find a towel that would get all the smudges off well enough. Overall though, I think it went really well and I was very happy with a great number of the photos. Thanks again ISM for improving my vision on my body and giving me something fun to do on a Thursday afternoon :)"

"I shot some of these photos on acreage across from my home out in an open meadow, under a huge eucalyptus tree. Not only did I trudge through thistle, but I got chased by bees while butt naked, and I had sheep staring blankly at my naked body which was somewhat unsettling; nevertheless, it was incredible to finally experience my own nudity basking in warm afternoon sun, a cool breeze, completely alone. The rush from potentially being caught was also something I loved; there's just something so cheeky about being caught red handed. Watching the sun change positions in the sky, and how it would cast various shadows over the curves in my body, I'd never seen this beauty in myself before, and I really enjoyed taking my time and experimenting with different angles. The mirror was my best friend for sure. I relish in the opportunity to show myself for who I feel I am, mind, body, and soul. I hope it translates through my images of just how free I felt."

"Esta experiencia foi tao divertida e arriscada. Vivo com mais 6 pessoas sem privacidade nenhuma, tudo foi fotografado em areas comuns. Adorei sentir a adrenalina! Acho que um colega me viu na verdade, espero que tenha gostado! Haha. Quantas mais fotos tirava, mais me sentia sexy, divertida e livre. Tentei mostrar quem sou, simples, divertida, natural e conectada com a natureza. Senti-me sensual, aberta ao mundo e muito suada! (estavam 36 graus, uff) / This was so much fun and risky. I live with 6 more people with no privacy whatsoever, all was shot in common areas. I loved feeling the adrenaline! I think someone saw me actually, I hope they enjoyed it! Haha. The more photos I took, the more I was able to feel sexy, fun and free. I also wanted to really show myself, simple, natural and in tune with the world. I just loved it. I felt flirty, sneaky and hot in every way (36 degree day, damn)."

"I really enjoyed doing this shoot. I did it in my room and bathroom so I eventually became super comfortable doing exposing poses. As I've never actually taken photos of myself naked before, I thought it would be a little difficult as I'm not really happy with my body. Although as I started taking some normal shots, I started feeling so much more comfortable taking the "bits showing" photos. I wish I had more confidence to have been able to go to an outdoor place to do the shoot, but I'm just really proud of myself that I gave it a go. It made me so much more comfortable and confident in my skin! I'm super happy I got the opportunity to be able to do this shoot."
