New Releases

"I believe that society creates norms on what the standard body 'type' should be and whether we realize it or not, we ingest that 'type' and use it as a standard to compare any and all bodies we encounter, I have realized that I too have unconsciously had this 'type' in the back of my mind. In order to break that, I decided I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and see my body in a new way: for what it really is. I think the body can be more than just sexy or awkward when completely nude. It can be elegant, twisted, and a reflection of your inner emotions. So I am not smiling in most of these photos, because I was not trying to appease the camera. This shoot was a self study, or contemplation, of my body, while taking various shapes and contrasting them with the surrounding greenery."

"I loved shooting outside in the garden, with the sunshine and the plants that make me feel so at ease. The naked body is something that is natural and beautiful and should be celebrated! I love adventure and trying new things, and this shoot was a great way to embrace that side of me. I had a great time doing this shoot and it made me feel empowered and turned on as well. I hope you enjoy looking at my photos as much as I loved taking them."

"For this second shoot I chose to be out in nature as that is something that I adore! It was also a great background. I felt so alive while being outdoors naked and free! I tried to keep my clothes on for as long as possible but being out there I just wanted to run around. I used this tree stump to help balance the mirror on and other objects that were around me. The weather was amazing that day and to top it off I could hear people playing music in the background. I had an amazing day!"

"I feel totally free and empowered being naked so as soon as I started this shoot I was in my element. I started in a black choker because I love channeling my inner dom. The angles proved challenging with my short arms and the whole shoot made me feel super vulnerable but I enjoyed being out of my comfort zone. I did my shoot in my friend's apartment whilst he was at work, the potential of being walked in on whilst shooting made it that extra bit exciting for me! Luckily he never came home though, lol."

"This was my third shoot and I felt that I became way more open and accepting of my body since the first shoot. I just wanted to portray my body as it is while not caring about its flaws and being wild and open and experimental."

"My bedroom where I was planning on shooting this has a massive window overlooking my neighbour's garden they never use until the day I was photographing my vagina in the mirror. Lucky for me my flatmate has some nice soft morning light in her room and let me entertain her with my little photo shoot! My arms are so much more flexible than I thought and I'm feeling like the selfie queen after doing this project."

"Doing ISM was empowering and made me feel very self aware and opened me up to how I see myself and my body. I love nature and I spend a lot of my free time just laying out under the trees, listening to the sounds around me whilst playing music, and in this shoot I was outside and I felt the same feeling that I do when I'm outside relaxing. It was wonderful to be nude among the different plants and grass and I felt great just laying there but being able to capture the moment. I felt very at ease during the shoot and nothing felt unnatural. It was such a great experience and I believe it is something all women should take part in."

"I had a very pleasant time with this project. I've never really taken nude photos before, but I have always wanted to explore how I would feel nude behind a camera. I've always thought I would enjoy it because I like how my body looks and I am very comfortable being naked, and I was right! I had a blast exploring what makes me feel sexy and confident behind the camera. My highlight was finding out I can take sexy nude photos with my foot, I felt very proud about that."

"The shoot itself mainly takes part in either my bedroom or my art/creative space in our backyard. It's my first time doing something like this so I am just experimenting. I live in a sharehouse so I did have one walk in which was pretty funny. Basically I just wanted to share and express myself in my space which is why I have called the shoot Our Space."

In part two of her video Charlie_M invites us to bear witness to one of the sexiest daily rituals there is. Lathering up and rinsing off, she bookends her video wonderfully and in the process makes everyone watching feel an irrational jealousy towards her moisturiser of choice.

"My folio was done mostly at my boyfriend's house since that's the place where both he and I feel the most comfortable at. We not only used his backyard and bedroom but also ended up going to nearby public places like a playground. It gave me a total rush and a kick knowing it's open public and there's cars passing us by that could've busted us at any given moment. His roommates were aware of me doing the project at their place but one of them ended up walking in on me one morning. We had a good laugh about it afterwards."

"This photo shoot was really really fun. My Mum busted me and wasn't as encouraging as would be helpful but I got through it on my own and had a ball! It felt so liberating taking photos of myself, and my cat even joined in on a few! He wasn't as enthusiastic as I was and left a few scratch marks on my leg...but at least he looks cute!"

"I had a lot of fun with this shoot in the garden. After working with ISM twice now, I feel my confidence has really grown a lot. I am so much more comfortable in my body and feeling so much more love and appreciation towards it, replacing the shame and negative thoughts from before. It felt amazing to be outside and play around with my surroundings, feeling really sexy and relaxed, having the sensation of plants and the wind and dirt on my bare skin. The whole experience has been really, really liberating :) I now feel proud and happy and free in my own body and unapologetic about my sexuality."

"This is one of the most interesting things I have ever done! Ishotmyself gave me the possibility to re-discover my body in a creative and sweet way. I found myself smiling without a reason while taking my pictures and experienced an unexpected feeling of freedom. Laughing at myself as well while trying to be creative in terms of postures and variety and also discovering my confidence growing quickly. One of the best experiences I have ever done!"

"This shoot almost felt natural for me after already completing the first one. I went in with full confidence knowing that I could look good. The lighting was absolutly perfect, it was so warm and illuminating on my skin. It made my eyes pop and left me feeling really warm and flirty which really added to the shoot."
