New Releases

"The day I did this shoot was one of the first nice days of spring, so I felt it needed to be done mostly outside. I have a huge tree in my backyard that I love climbing on occasion. I decided it would be interesting to take some of the photos in the tree - combining my obsession with climbing and my love of being nude and feeling the freedom that comes with that. It was overall a really empowering experience that I feel got me more in touch with body than I have been before."

"I had planned on shooting outside but the typical English weather prevented this. As I flopped moodily on my bed I realised that it was the best place to show my playful personality, a place that showed who I was."

"For this shoot I wanted to come back to the domestic environment as the feminine has been oppressed within this space for such a long time. I challenged this through placing myself in the stairwell of my house and exploring my body around specific found objects that were significant to my sense of identity. I played both submissive and dominant within and against myself in order to find pure liberation. It was amazing to have an opportunity that unhinged the taboos of tenderness."

"I've been wanting to do some life-modeling to meet other artists, so when I came across I Shot Myself, I thought why not take the next step? I love being naked and I want to encourage other women to be comfortable in their bodies and their pleasure. I loved this shoot, although I may have hurt my back twisting in the mirror. Overall I want this to be an expression of self-love, something that is unfortunately hard to attain."

"My housemates are a young couple. I was hoping they didn't walk in during my naked shoot...they would freak! But I know deep inside they wish they could be naked too. My home is their home and if they can't be completely comfortable, why live with me?"

"I shot myself in my home environment, the days were hot and the sun was beaming through my bedroom window where I felt sexy. I found this shoot to be quite hard to complete, as you have to be very open and confident with yourself and see yourself in a totally different light, with nowhere to hide besides in front of a camera lens where you are exposed to your truthful image. I found that taking these photos empowered myself and my confidence and helped with my body image in public and at home."

"This is my first time to do this, so it's nerve-racking, but every time I visit this website I smiled at the free photos of every girl here. It looks pure fun, artistic, random, empowering, overall... Beautiful. I thought of a lot of poses at first, but they all seem very awkward, my natural awkwardness is just screaming in every photo. I let loose and just keep taking pictures until I realized that I'm actually having fun, something I hoped to feel like when I randomly decided to do this self-photo shoot."

"When it got to the late afternoon I started to goof around and started doing things you might do on a lazy afternoon like going through old stuff and lounging around. As always I had a great time (can you tell?) and hope you enjoy the finished product. x"

"I found it very hard to position the camera, I did enjoy shooting however as it was very confronting to see myself in the lighting and positions. I tried to incorporate my circus ability however it was hard to hold positions and a camera."

"J´ai participé à Ishotmyself pendant 2 après-midis et 1 matin dans mon appartement. J´ai commencé à jouer nue sur mon lit avec les jouets que j´ai trouvé autour, juste à experimenter avec l´appareil photo. Quand j´etais plus en confiance, j´ai sauté sur le sol en face du mirroir où je voulais attraper mon double moi. J´ai eu une jumelle pendant environ 20min, c´etait assez marrant. J´ai finalement bougé sur le balcon où mes vêtements étaient en train de sécher et je suis revenue ensuite sur le lit à jouer avec le mirroir à nouveau. J´ai beaucoup aimé faire n´importe quoi avec l´appareil photo, en prenant simplement du temps pour moi, en explorant mon corps et en me regardant depuis chaque recoin dont j´en ressentais l´envie. Je pensais vraiment que j´aurais épuisé mes idées d´images rapidement mais chaque jour vient avec une nouvelle humeur, l´espace change un petit peu, de nouveaux jouets apparaissent et disparaissent et je peux m´amuser et avoir de l´inspiration à nouveau. / I shot myself during 2 afternoons and 1 morning in my apartment. I started playing naked on my bed with all the toys I found, just experimenting with the camera. When I got more confident I jumped on the floor in front of the mirror where I wanted to catch my double me. I had a twin for 20 minutes, it was pretty funny. I finally moved to the balcony where my clothes were drying and I came back then on the bed playing with the mirror again. I enjoyed a lot doing whatever with the camera, simply taking some time for myself, exploring my body and watching me from every corner I felt like. I thought I would not have more ideas of pictures really quickly but every day is coming with a new mood, the space is changing a little bit, new toys are appearing and disappearing and I can have fun and inspiration again."

"As this is the second time I have done I shot myself, I went into it with a much different mindset than the first time. Originally I was very nervous and had to keep deleting photos, whereas this time I was able to just happily take the photos and see the beauty in my imperfections. I did this shoot outside and kept having to go inside as I was freezing! I was able to see my body in an even different light than the first time (natural light/use of a mirror) and this had helped me even further on my way to self love and self acceptance."

"Herzlichen Gluckwunsch Johan. Or Happy Birthday, depending on your geography. Johan is one lucky puppy, even if he didn't get to unwrap the gift himself - something tells me there might be a little of that going on tonight though. As gifts go, this has to beat a new set of spanners!"

"I had a lot of fun! It is so relaxing to know you can just take pictures of your body freely, without worrying how good or sexy it looks! So much less stress than taking pics for sexting, when you're trying to make sure your cellulite or rolls don't show. It was absolutely and completely liberating. / Mi sono divertita un sacco! E' cosi' rilassante sapere che puoi farti delle foto senza preoccuparti di quanto sexy tu sia nelle foto. E' infinitamente meno stressante che fare sexting, perche' in quel caso cerchi sempre di far si' che la tua cellulite o i tuoi rotolini non si vedono. E' stato assolutamente liberatorio."

"I really enjoyed doing this shoot, it was really fun putting glitter on my face and getting creative. Even though I didn't shave or fake tan or even brush my hair before the shoot, I was really happy with my photos. I climbed on my roof for a few of my photos and didn't realise for about 5 minutes that there were tradies on the roof next to me, not that I cared but it was pretty funny."

"I had a very firm idea of what I wanted to do with this shoot. Then I realised the lighting in my bedroom was terrible and it became a matter of finding a middle ground between what I wanted to do and what I could do. I live with four other people, one of whom would have bombarded me with angry facebook messages had she caught me midway through shooting which made it somewhat difficult to get it happening. After a few days of sneaking around my backyard I got an afternoon to myself and everything flowed. Although it wasn't exactly what I had envisioned in the beginning I loved the end result. I feel like this has taught me a lot about utilizing what is available and accessible to me rather than stubbornly clinging to what I imagined the perfect outcome to be."
