Monte_Luxe//"azulinedream"
"This shoot was a fun change from what I'm used to. No tripods. No photographer. Just little old me and a tonne of new ways to take some selfies and show you me. My favourite colour is blue, and while walking through the city, I spotted the BRIGHTEST bunch that just popped! I had to have them. There's only 2 parts of the body (that I know of) that reference flowers, and I decided to share my petals and flower with you all through the bunch I bought. I love lots of natural light and made sure I picked a spot in the room that lit up beautifully. Mirrors helped me snap poses that made me feel sexy, but I really love a simplistic and clean environment. Almost sterile, so the focus is solely on the subject."

Bobbi_J//"luminousglow"
"This trip to Thailand has been a dream come true. I've been pretty much living on the beach soaking up all the sun I can. I don’t think I’ve ever been this tan in my life! It was so much fun running around the beach naked. It felt as if I was a wild animal rolling around in the waves and sand. There were a few people on the beach but most of the time I’ve had the whole beach to myself (other than my boyfriend who played “look out” for me). I saw three pink dolphins and at night you can see the bio-luminescent glow in the waves. This place is truly magical and I have to keep pinching my bare butt to make sure I’m not dreaming. I’ve been eating really healthy food here and I can feel it and see it in my body, and my eyes have never been so blue. I feel like a mermaid princess here and I never want to leave! The locals here are the nicest people I’ve ever met! So helpful and kind. I highly recommend Thailand if you’ve never been. You won’t be disappointed!"

Vanessa_T//"Eucalyptus"
"The I shot myself shoot was hard for me at first because I have difficultly looking at myself but it did help remind me that I need to love myself first. I wanted to place the shoot within nature and enjoyed being among the sun's rays and seeing how the shadows of the trees and branches would fall onto my body. Experimenting with flowers made me feel like I was connecting with mother nature. I appreciate the opportunity I was given to connect with myself and my core being. Thank you ISM."

Billie_E//"passion_fruits"
"I started this particular shoot on a hot Melbourne day after buying a shopping bag full of fruit. I sat down in the backyard and began to strip while eyeing off an apple and some grapes. It all looked delicious. The passion fruit began to run down my fingers and I liked the sticky feeling so decided to work it in with a close up of some running down my breast. My backyard is full of empty beer bottles from it being a constant party/share house. This gave me the idea to shoot some of them, and work in a coffee jar as a prop. It turned into my hangover cure - fruit, coffee and nudity."

Ally_M//"passerine"
"I did this project in a bit of a rush but I'm still really happy with how it turned out! I wanted to be in nature because that is where I feel most free and I love the greenery. I really want to find a location that is not my back yard for the next one and try and be more creative. This was my first ISM shoot and it won't be the last, it was too much fun! Shooting yourself makes you feel really good about yourself and as I have struggled with self-confidence this has helped me see that I am beautiful in my own way and so is every other gorgeous human out there. THANK YOU ISM for helping me see my beauty!"

Avery_G//"entdecken"
"Shooting myself is probably among the most intimate and creative things I have ever done. I felt like I got to explore my body in ways I never thought possible. I loved discovering all parts of my skin, crevasses and all the flaws that come with it. Shooting myself is an important part in coming to terms with the way I look, embracing my sensuality and sexuality and promoting a positive body image, different to what is portrayed in the commercial media."

Evie_Hope//"exposedtolove"
"The reason I did this shoot was to become me again. I hid behind things I was told were wrong and I decided that was enough! I am me - a short, tumor covered and high libido person who wants to express everything they can. Whether it's what type of sex toys I use, the expensive lingerie I wear or the TMI sex stories I have, this is me... scars, bumps and all; exposed for the world to love."

Pixie_P//"private_rave_2"
"...I'm having so much fun, feeling like my truest self whilst spinning around in the daydream that I've made real."

Isabelle_C//"rock_with_you"
"A funny thing that happened during the shoot was I couldn't keep my balance sitting on a rock ledge and kept falling from one side over to the other. Also my housemate came home from work and really startled me in the backyard as I was finishing the shoot."

Liv_A//"first_place"
"At first partaking in ISM felt intimidating, but as the day went on and I got into the shoot I embraced it and felt more comfortable with my body than I ever have before. The shoot itself got a bit awkward with the ladder present and some photos certainly had to be deleted but in the end I got there and I felt fantastic that I had finally done it and was filled with a great sense of achievement."

Illenya//"upskirt"
Never has a quiet afternoon on the patio looked so appealing... Illenya is perfectly at home in the warm, tones of the timber beneath her, slowly peeling back each layer of her clothing as the heat of the day peaks.

Ella_M//"pheromones"
"I am a massive fan of the female form and have always wanted to do a nude photo shoot in an environment that allows me to express myself how I want. I love 1970's Playboy and anything that celebrates the sensuality, natural beauty and sexiness of women and I wanted to capture this dynamic while I photographed myself. I know people who struggle with body image and I also wanted to show that all parts of the female body should be embraced - flaws, imperfections and all."

Afrika//"pink_oddity"
"I'm in love with pink, but mostly if that pink is spotted with some oddity, real nudity or ugliness. The pink Chanel suit of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy spotted with blood or those dead pink flowers in the vase. I bought those pink fabrics without having a single plan, then I did the same with the flowers. After rolling and contorting my body around the old wooden floor, the idea was already there, it was happening and that's the most beautiful thing about this. It always surprises you."

Brooke_B//"sweatymess"
"A couple of days before I planned to do the shoot I got EXTREMELY sunburnt (as you can probably tell) so you can see in some photos where my tan/burn lines are, and seeing my white tum and the bright red face is pretty funny. The day I shot myself it was 36 degrees so I was a sweaty mess!"

Ellen_J//"blue_velvet"
"I love the idea of individuality and big personalities displaying confidence, so I represented this by making my coloured make up big and bold. It was fun to go crazy with it and see what I came up with. Music is also a very important aspect of my life which inspired the use of instruments in my shoot. I love to sing and create music, something that it very relaxing and natural for me, so it only seemed right to share it with you all too."
