New Releases

"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."

"Going into this shoot, I hadn't been feeling great about my body, just disconnected from it. Taking the time to slowly shed clothing and inhibitions is a great way to reconnect. I usually look in the mirror once when brushing my teeth in the morning then I'm off for the day. Using the mirror today, I really looked at myself. I'm about to start a new chapter of my life so this was a nice chance to stop and appreciate myself before that new chapter begins."

"I had so many ideas running through my head for this shoot, but one thing was for sure; I wanted it to be raw, empowering and very fun! At the beginning I wasn't sure what to do with myself; I did some basic poses to start with, but as I continued on I found I was becoming more comfortable. I started to think of the most ludicrous poses I could do! The trick was trying to click the shutter with a toe or other body part! I had a lot more fun than I originally thought and when I finished the shoot I felt incredibly empowered! I was in a state of euphoria. It also made me wonder why the heck anybody wears clothes! I hope that you enjoy the photos and smile at them as much as I did!"

"I really didn't know what to expect going into the photo shoot. I was excited to let my creativity run free and try any kind of angle. I wanted to remember happy intimate times I've had with previous partners to help inspire me and help me feel more comfortable. I'm pretty comfortable with how I look but it was fun exploring new things and to receive each new discovery with love, and gratitude."

"In this shoot I tried to show different aspects of my style, I used jewelry, make up, clothes, flowers and different colour schemes. I felt it was a little rushed and if I had more time I would go all out so perhaps I will do another shoot soon. I had a lot of fun and this shoot definitely made me feel much more comfortable taking photos of myself :)"

"Since I got the camera to do this project I felt so excited, I ran back home full of energy. I always love to put myself in new adventures and get involved in things I've never done before. I never took many pictures naked myself, I've always connected this with something "nasty", but thanks to Ishotmyself I discovered the joy and the fun to take pictures of myself, enjoying the moment when I was playing with my body, step by step, picture by picture I take confidence with myself. I realized that it is not nasty at all. A few time I also found myself sensual, I came in contact with my femininity."

"I struggled a bit with the full body angles and trying to make my morning routine look a little more exciting than it actually is. I tried to get whole body shots, and looking back on the footage I realised I don't get to see my body from those angles very often. I'm slowly getting more comfortable with myself which makes me happy, because I liked what I saw."

"The shoot was pretty fun but I found it really difficult to get the shots that I wanted. I'm not really good at selfies, especially one handed. I would have liked to have done some shots outside, but I have a communal garden, lol. It would have been much easier to have been able to ask a friend to help take some photos, just for a greater variety of angles and such but I guess that isn't quite what I Shot Myself is all about hey."
