New Releases

"I used fairy lights on my body while taking the photos as I love fairy lights. It was interesting exploring different ways to take the pictures. I also used a mirror to try and get different angles. I tried to incorporate a bit of gymnastics, which was tricky with taking the photos as well. I took the photos in a room with a window. The window looks out onto a path people walk down so I was conscious that people could walk past."

"I struggled with this task creatively, I think I put huge expectations on myself and wanted to do something really different and unusual. Turns out you can't force creativity. After some reassuring from the ISM team I managed to find my inner confidence and rock a banging shoot, and actually ended up having a lot of fun. I'd recommend this to anyone - it's safe, fun, challenging and really eye opening."

"Wow, that was an AMAZING experience!! Looking back at all of my pics, and to see the progress from the first pics to the last ones - which on those ones I was so liberated and free from myself and my thoughts and that's just so worth it. Thank you ISM, that was so awesome!!"

"I really fucking love ice cream. It is far and away my favourite food. The cold of the ice cream also feels amazing dripping down on a hot summer day. I have a tendency to take myself too seriously so it was great to strip down and have a bit of fun."

"Hyperballad here! This ishotmyself video series is a very intimate yet playful look into my world & what I am all about these days. It's been a real long while between videos & I'd like to think I've developed my voice on what it means to be 'naked on the internets' so I hope y'all enjoy these films as much as I enjoyed making 'em."

"I personally had so much fun with this shoot, I pushed myself into directions that I normally would not. I purposely enhanced what I am most self-conscious about, to rewrite what I see as flaws to what I now see as beautiful. I loved being in complete control of the shoot, so I could truly be myself, without worrying about how anyone was viewing me. It was honestly all about me. Having this brand new, self-exploratory journey has truly been changing for me and how I feel about myself, control and my body image. Everyone should have this experience."

"I decided to try doing a shoot in a different environment, my backyard. It's a bit more exciting when you're on the lookout for curious neighbours or roommates arriving home early from work! The sun is harsh on my pale skin but I glow in the outside light. I found the verandah imprints and dirt on my bum a little cute."

"In my folio I aimed to give viewers an urge to undergo their own self exploration process. Often we forget to check in with ourselves and our bodies, so self exploration in the form of photography can be a reminder of this! I attempted to focus on the various forms a human body makes and how different camera angles can alter our perception of a body - arms can look incredibly long! I shot myself as soon as I woke up because I was warm and comfortable, and I wanted to utilize the morning light."

"C’est la troisième fois que je participe à I Shot Myself et à chaque fois mon corps a évolué. Je suis contente de m’être prise en photo pendant ces trois dernières années parce que ça m’aider à garder en tête que j’aime être moi, peu importe si je suis un peu plus grosse et si je ne ressemble pas à ce model parfait sur Instagram. / It’s the third time I shoot myself and my body has changed each time. I’m glad I captured myself during these last three years to keep in mind how I enjoy being myself, no matter if I get bigger or don’t have the perfect skinny fit instagram body. This last folio was very fun to make. I took photos in every room of my house, always with the risk of one of my housemates coming home at unexpected moments."

"The whole experience was fun and playful, but a lot harder than I thought it would be. The amount of photos needed didn't sound like a lot, but it was hard to come up with interesting angles! The house I live in doesn't have much privacy in the garden, so I used my friend's balcony and shot myself there using a bed sheet for a bit of privacy and my duvet to create a nice soft space to work with."

"Black and white and bruised all over! It was both easier and much harder shooting myself a second time. Easier because I felt more comfortable, I had a better sense of what to aim for, and using a mirror gave me so many fun opportunities! It was harder to find new poses, to capture the spontaneity and adrenaline of the first shoot. Embracing my body like this was amazing though, I never expected to ease into the experience so quickly, and to enjoy the challenge of creating a beautiful sexy self to share!"

"This was a relaxed and fun shoot. Due to the lack of natural light in my house I had to be so close to a window that I could easily be seen from the street. Because of this I started on the ground and in the end I stayed low for almost all of the shots. It felt very creative to try and find new angles of myself in a limited space. The combination of a soft towel and shag rug against my skin was very calming and allowed me to enjoy the experience so much I was finished before my hair had the time to dry."

"A travers ce projet photographique, j ai souhaite rendre grace a la beaute naturelle, la beaute originelle de la nature. La riviere, l ecorce des arbres, la roche. La diversite de la nature, de la vegetation au sein d un meme perimetre. J aime les contrastes, la lumiere naturelle sur la peau, les ombres qui dansent, les contorsions. Cette seance devoile differents pans de ma personnalite. L artiste sur scene arborant maquillage bio, accessoires de l univers des arts du spectacle. Autant que l archetype de la femme sauvage, a decouvert, forte dans son impudeur. Ceci est symbolise a travers le masque arbore puis retire. / The mask is flooding through her lips as she reveals her tribal, wild self. The colors and accessories are fading away. She hypnotises you and invites you to dance with her in the elements. The wild woman is unraveled, revealing her intimacy, untamed. She murmurs to you that she lives within you. She invites you to gather the bones, to sing to the river, to meet your soul, to follow her in the underground world. If your soul is thirsty of emotions, dive into your mystic art, shake your bones, crawl and she will show you the great mysteries. Begin your own journey."

"During this shoot, I learned that I actually accept myself a lot more for who I am now than I once did. The props used and the poses done were not what I expected of myself after a physical injury prevented my ability to be flexible, but this shoot has actually helped in physical fitness and helping to relax and stretch myself more. My comfortability has certainly been exceeded in this by shooting on a balcony and in more public rooms around the house rather than hiding away in the bathroom and bedrooms. My advice for anyone to gain more self appreciation is to do a naked photo shoot! Especially for someone who wouldn't normally take a photo of themselves, also make sure to use natural lighting, it will always be the most flattering."

"I loved the experience, it was more difficult than I thought because managing the camera and posing at the same time is a lot of work, so I tried to use mirrors for most of them. I definitely wanted to do some shots outdoors and on the beach, it was difficult to find a private place, but it was an adventure."
