New Releases

"I use avoidance as a procrastination strategy. So as per usual, I gave myself only a few hours to go on a shameless, self-indulgent journey with the camera and my body. As you may see, I was in my home, I had an intention just to keep it natural and progressive. It was hot, I had the music on and the house to myself. I don't think I've ever seen myself from some of these angles. It's pretty amazing to find the beauty in such an intimate and vulnerable space."

"This was my second ishotmyself and even though I found it way harder to come up with new ideas for backgrounds and poses I also think I was more open and my perspective changed a bit. I wasn't so focused anymore on looking beautiful but rather on looking natural. I also was finally confident enough to ask my flatmate to jump in and take some photos with me. I still very much enjoyed seeing how beautiful my body can look but I think I didn't get as excited about it as I did during the first shooting because it became something more normal to look at my body as beautiful. Which is a good thing! :) So, thanks again ISM. This is a great project and I am so happy that I participated."

"Creating this ISM folio has been personally enlightening for me. I've suffered from low self-esteem and body image my entire life but creating this folio has allowed me to see beauty within myself. I've learnt that beauty is not what society teaches women via media but in the diversity and differences in every body. Even within myself, I have learnt to accept my stretch marks and scars - something I never believed possible before shooting for ISM!"

"This was my second ISM shoot, and I wanted to do something with a bit more impact than the first one. At first I was a little shy with the paint, but after getting covered I really enjoyed myself. Putting different colours on my skin accentuated the different shapes of my body and let me see myself in a different light. I wish I could do this shoot again with a photographer so I could be more creative and open with my movements and poses. It's an idea I've had for years but never had the chance to do."

"I wanted to give you all a wide variety of objects and types of pictures. It is very lucky that a week before the shoot I'd invested in some equipment to spice up life in the bedroom. Finding places to take pictures was the most difficult part though! While I was on my balcony taking some pictures I actually got seen by some people walking on the street!"

"My toe got a cramp from taking pictures of myself and then my 2 year old toddler came into my room (which is unlockable) and saw me laying down on the ground with my legs up so high and camera on my vagina. Haha, whoops!"

"I feel whole, and fucking sexy. This enticed me to go to my naughty drawer, and have some fun with a few of my favourite things. Some rope, a nice thick cock and my favourite strap-on harness. I hope you enjoy watching me feeling natural and sexy, with hard nipples and fishnets! xx"

"My room is my safe and calm space, where I do all my creating which made it the perfect place to get naked. This shoot for me was all about having fun with my body and experiencing something new. Always keep learning, keep growing, keep creating."

Lock up your (partially built) homes! A one woman demolition crew is on the rampage! Idya has her work boots on, camera in hand and her blue jeans are coming off.

"During my shoot I was on my balcony enjoying the sun and taking pictures, when my neighbour decided to pop up with his morning coffee! His reaction was awesome, he said hi and asked if I wanted a coffee. He made me the best latte, we chatted about his day, the project and how to protect nipples from sunburn. I feel as though we are more friends than neighbours now."

"I really don't like taking pictures of myself unless I'm dressed up as some sort of character, so here I am again doing just that! Please enjoy my Shrek and maid personas. I threw in a few pics of me finishing my day off at the sauna where I get EXTREMELY sweaty ;)"

"The shoot started out in my friend's living room where I just had to hope none of her three housemates didn't come home. My friend did walk in to see some weird shit though. I went up to the roof and a boy on a bike got a real good look. Another part of the shoot in my friend's yard involved hiding in long grass behind a shed trying to avoid dog poo."

"I created a perfect world in which everything is soft, sweet and pink, including myself. With colourful lights and lots of glitter I turned my room into a private disco. It's almost like you can feel the sheer fabric against my skin and taste the gloss on my lips, as all the colours converge into a kaleidoscope, you start to feel dizzy and a sugar rush takes over. It's a fantasy come to life, straight out of a cartoon, where the lines of reality become blurred and inhibition doesn't exist."

"Being naked felt natural and carefree. I enjoy it and feel a sense of freedom. I know there were parts of my body that were biggish but it didn't matter as it could be seen as arty. Getting different angles was challenging, but it made me think of how to use the camera. I enjoyed my shoot. I wanted to have snakes wrapped around my body but where am I going to find snakes right!?"

"One of my favourite colours is pink - despite the fact that I barely wear it. I find pink a really sexy and cute colour, so decided to start the shoot in my fave pink lingerie, with my cutest pink lipstick and fluffy earrings. The more photos I snapped the more adorable I felt. It was a 39 degree day and I felt a little lightheaded by the end of the shoot from all the twisting and funny angles, and I also started to sweat a bit (which made for some pretty glistening skin shots!). The blanket I was sitting on and posing with in the photos kept leaving crinkly marks on my skin so there were a few photos where some texture is visible on my skin, which is also pretty cute! I had such a blast shooting this folio - I would happily take nude selfies all day every day!"
