New Releases

"I decided to call my folio Kick n Back because I don't often get a chance to do just that! Life is way too busy! I had so much fun laying around, listening to music, taking photos. At times I think I may have got a little too relaxed! I had been out one day and decided to come home to do some photos, I tried to sneak inside my house so my dog didn't hear me (she's an inside dog). At first I was successful, then she caught me, completely naked at the back door, from then on all she did was cry because she wanted to come in. It was very distracting at first, then I thought I should put her in some pictures! But she's too hairy at the moment, so I thought it best not to (BTW- she's a Cocker Spaniel, so if you have one of these dogs, you know how loud their crying can be!). Whilst I was having the time of my life, I looked out the window (not sure why) and I realised that across the laneway, my neighbour's blinds had suddenly opened! So I think maybe they were trying their best to watch what I was doing! Oh well, they will have to see it online like everyone else!!"

"Being a part of this project was an honor, and I enjoyed every moment of it. ISM has given me the opportunity again to feel fulfilled and beautiful and confident; something that no one can take away from me."

"I shot myself in my hideaway. A makeshift bed, altar, trunk, art, clothes, and shrines. My comfort zone made me fall in love with myself all over again. My space and person has beautifully collided as one. This was my last day with my tail."

"I shot myself in some iconic places around Perth, Western Australia. I took several in the Beeliar Wetlands. A year ago, a highway was to be built through this unique ecosystem. I was arrested, along with about 100 others, in attempts to stop bulldozers destroying the endangered animals and plants. We lost big strips of nature, but saved a lot. Others were taken at the beach. I swim in the ocean every couple of days. Taking these photos, I felt very "myself". If you Google "Fremantle abandoned power station", you'll see spectacular photos of the abandoned power station and the graffiti it's covered in. This was a stone's throw from where I shot myself, but I couldn't capture myself with it due to security cameras and nearby hikers. While I shot myself here, a boat passed me. I stopped and waited for them to pass, but I'm sure they saw me before I noticed. Oops! The rest of my shots provide little glimpses of my personality. The lipstick images represent self love. I always cut my own hair. "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely is one of my favourite books. If you're a nerd who loves human nature and sociology, look it up! And skip to the chapter about arousal ;)"

"Despite the cold weather, I decided to shoot this photo set in the bungalow of my backyard, a cosy space where I keep my winter wood. I love the feel of cool air on my skin, especially fresh winter air because it creates a sensitivity in my skin that makes touch feel so much more intense. The space reminds me of a small cabin in the country that I might escape to with a friend or lover. I truly enjoyed making this set for you mostly because of the high risk I had of getting caught. My bungalow has a window which faces directly onto the open street it sits against, and another that has a direct view into the neighbour's home. As I've told you before, I like the thought of being watched, and the chance of getting caught excites me. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I did making them for you."

"I loved doing this shoot, as it challenged me to look at myself and feel sexy at the same time, getting the angles right was a bit challenging at times, but also a lot of fun to try different poses and distances. It's been something I've been considering to do for a couple of years now but I never quite felt ready/confident enough to do it. Now that I have finally done my first nude shoot, I don't think it will be my last!"

"On my last shoot I was outside and wanted to feel where I was. Feel the weather changing around me. In this shoot I chose a warmer setting because I wanted to use the shades of red surrounding me. There was a rug I layed on that had these beautiful shapes and colours that changed with the sun and I had sunlight rays shadowing against the blinds onto my body. I enjoyed seeing my body change while the sun set. The amount of red in the shoot has made me feel powerful and lost with the shapes that surrounded me. I explored using the furniture and even my body, leaning in and grabbing and holding the variety of waves of confidence I received from this shoot. I would love to try a water shoot next! I think it would be fun but also very empowering in a different way. I do advise people to try an outdoor setting and then an indoor setting, there is massive difference of security and finding that body confidence."

"I'm a non binary trans boy, this has been a really interesting way to express myself and my body. Doing this shoot has been a big step towards self-acceptance and self-confidence in my own skin. I love playing with gender and how gender is perceived by the viewer, this is especially interesting when nakedness and sexuality becomes involved, because seeing someone with a vulva and tits you will almost always get clocked as a woman, but nope I'm a boy!"

"Well it has been quite a few years since my last shoot and I have to say that I was so nervous to get back into it. But I loved it so much. I feel like I am so much more comfortable in my own skin now. I don't feel the need to suck in my stomach all the time or pose in the right angle to get the most flattering position. It was so nice! It was quite liberating to know that people actually want to see my body and will appreciate it and I'm happy I am appreciating myself a lot more as I get older. I did have a lot of fun shooting for I Shot Myself and I'm happy that I had this experience again."

"Making this folio was so much fun. I really enjoyed playing with myself, using the accessories and clothes I feel good in. It was a super nice way to enjoy a sunny holiday. I was a bit shy at the beginning but at the end I couldn't stop!"

"I was a bit nervous going into this, so in order for me to attempt this I had to be half asleep so I didn't over-think it too much. I took these photos as soon as I woke up and put on my best silly faces because I wanted to make the experience as fun as possible. I tried to relax and not focus in a way that I never would when naked. Doing my regular routine when absolutely starkers felt oddly natural. I felt comfortable being up close and personal with myself. I might do it again sometime."

"I really enjoyed taking the shoot and realised how confident I became with my body. The first day I was very creative posing in different positions, using costumes and painting my body. The second day I mostly took pictures in my backyard, expressing my sensuality. The third day I went out and had a lot of fun being naked in the middle of the nature and posing with tree and leaves. After the shoot I really feel like I boosted my confidence and I will look for more projects like this."

"I wanted my folio to be fun, playful, and a little silly! I set myself up on the floor with some lovely fabrics in front of a mirror. I played around with loads of glitter and had fun with some stretch and contortion poses to take advantage of my hyperflexibility! I had to run for cover a few times when one of my neighbours walked by my window, as well as falling over (...more than once) trying to get into my contortions. I feel like my photos showcase my body really well and really reflect my personality. Overall I had a fantastic experience and really enjoyed my shoot!"

"I loved having you come and join me in my home for a very intimate pamper session. Being able to open myself up in my own home as well as physically, has opened me up to a new level of comfort and pride in who I am, on the inside and outside."

"My folio which I have named "Fawn Prince" is all about celebrating spring energy, rebirth after long winter months and allowing the shy sun to caress my body. I wanted to create a set with a very earthy feel, plants, leaf patterns, green gradients and mirrors to bathe in an imaginary botanical cabinet. I still felt a little camera-shy because it had been a while since I allowed myself to play around like this but I hope you like it. If you feel gloomy get yourself a small plant to take care of, cactuses are ideal if you don't have green thumbs."
