"This shoot was a bit difficult at points. Until I went to take well lit photography shots I never realised how badly lit my house is! The first day it was very bright so I had to take outdoor shots in very specifically shaded areas, and there's only one window inside that I can use (which is in the loungeroom, I was scared my housemate would be home early every second of the shoot) because the two bedrooms face out into the street and right across the road is a school and I am not looking to traumatise kids any time soon! The other bedroom window has a clear view directly to my neighbour's front door which I didn't realise until I was very nearly caught, I had to roll off the bed and crawl out of the guest bedroom so the poor old Italian lady next door didn't have a heart attack! Otherwise it was a very fun shoot and I'd love to get involved in more things like this."

"I've been getting naked for the camera for a long time now - in a strange way this was the most confronting shoot I've done. I was on the other side of the lens for ages - it's so much easier to find the beauty, vulnerability, emotion and strength in other people. ISM forces you to take a good hard look at yourself, put yourself out there and accept what you've got. For better or worse - its me."

"An intimate look within my personal Xanadu. This collection of images expresses the kinky, sophisticated and feminine side of me that is often concealed to the naked eye. The candle wax smells like roses. I once had someone beg me to kick them in the balls with the shoes I am wearing in this shoot."

"Shooting myself is always a great experience, it makes me feel free and connected with my body. Feeling confident that everybody is beautiful in their own way and the feeling that it's the little differences that make each single one of us unique. It's all about accepting how and who you are with or without clothes, what really matters is the essence."

"I had been sitting on doing this for years but never had an idea that felt good enough. A friend of mine came by an old dentist chair and it was the chance I have been waiting for - I get a bit turned on by scary situations so had amazing fun with this - there was even an old drill!!"

"This is my second time doing ISM (and my first time doing a Beautiful Agony!) however this time I am 14 years older. I remembered how much I enjoyed being in total control of the way I wanted to be depicted and now as an older woman I was even more exhilarated with this opportunity. Older yes, but stronger and more confident. This was a chance for me to celebrate and share who I am at 50 rather than feel sad for what I have lost."

"I had a wonderful time! Almost got walked in on though, which was hilariously nerve-racking! Funny how even in the middle of nowhere people can appear. But it somehow made the shoot even more interesting, having the “was almost caught” story. Despite that, I have to say that being out in the wilderness nude was very freeing! It felt natural and comfortable and I was very relaxed no matter what pose I was in. The entire process was very straightforward and I really appreciated it! Honestly I contributed as a way of proving to myself that I am attractive, and in the process came to realize that any so called flaws I think I possess are what make me that much more uniquely, beautifully me. I feel more confident in myself and my skin because of this. When I look in the mirror I am seeing, rather than my flaws, me."

"This shoot was incredible, it was amazing to be in control and have the power in my hands. My Mum Hazey did a shoot years ago and had great things to say about her experience so I decided to give ISM and Beautiful Agony a go. It is amazing being part of a project that I adore and I feel privileged to contribute to it. With that being said though, my god was it nerve-racking to take the photos when I live in the bottom floor of an apartment block with a clear view through every window. I even had to duck and hide out of sight from neighbours and workers nearby. Many times I could hear the shuffles of the creepy old guy living in the vicinity, so I would sit below the window until he passed by. But with passing anxieties of staring eyes, I found fun with the risk of being caught."

"Dadurch dass ich entschieden habe, mein Shooting am Strand zu schiessen hatte ich ich durchaus Zuschauer, die wiederwillig zugesehen haben, wie ich mich sebst an einem oeffentlichem Strand nacktfotografiert habe. Ich habe mal wieder die Sonne unterschaetzt. Letztendlich bin ich mit einem Sonnenbrand auf den Bruesten Freundin Ninette_M nach hause gefahren. / By deciding to do my shoot on the beach, I had quite a few spectators who have reluctantly watched me naked on a public beach. I have again underestimated the sun. Finally, I drove home with my friend Ninette_M and a sunburn on my breasts that I won't soon forget."

"It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to do this shoot and take time to express myself like I have. I had a lot of fun thinking about how I could take photos that show parts of me and who I am along with all of the different poses I could do. I am lucky that it was lovely weather the day I took photos and my house has a gorgeous outdoor area I could take some of the photos in, and I decided not to worry if any of the neighbours could see me having fun."

"Holla. It's Part 3 of what I've decided I'm going to call the hyper_diaries. Today we're going to touch on the theory AND practise of recording orgasms. You will recognise my formatting immediately, but listen carefully because I dive deeply into the crux of my motivations. We may all be 'strangers on the internet' but I aim to be so much more than that in my contributions."

"In de shoot, aan een lake, bij de golfbaan. Keek ik tussen mijn benen en stond er ineens een kangeroo mee te kijken! Ik heb echt een geweldige tijd gehad en ik ben dol op mijn laatste foto's. / For the shoot I was at a lake, I also went to a golf course. I looked between my legs and suddenly a kangaroo was watching! I had a really great time and I love my final images."

"This was my second shoot for ISM, I took the photos at my house in the comfort of my bedroom. My experience overall was uplifting, I love the whole idea of ISM. How it empowers women - every shape and size, every nationality every flaw, ISM welcomes them all. I'm the one that's usually behind the camera so for me to be in front of it was a bit daunting I do have to confess, but it was more exciting than anything. I giggled the whole time because I think I look like a giant red tomato."

"This is the first time I've ever done something like this before so I wasn't too sure what to do. But while out one day I found a big old warehouse and decided it would be the perfect place to explore and take some pictures for ISM! It was super dirty and dusty everywhere but after clearing away a little space and checking for spiders I had so much fun getting naked and playing around with my fishnets."

"Platonic intimacy is very important to me as an individual. Being able to share your naked body and warmth with another human without shame of judgement or contempt is so freeing, and that’s exactly how this shoot felt for me. I was safe, comfortable, and connected in a way that felt nothing less than authentic and pure. I was and are still full of bliss over this shoot, the friendship I made through this, and the love that I got to share."
