New Releases

"I first found out about I Shot Myself through a poster walking home from work. It caught my eye as the design was very friendly. Upon receiving the camera I felt slightly hesitant as I did not have a full understanding of ISM and the amount of photos I needed to take seemed very overwhelming. For the first couple of days I only took 2 photos, I was still unsure if I wanted to go through with it. On the last day I shot all my photos, I thought to myself - "Why not!?" and gave it a go. I am so happy with the results. If I was given another chance to, I would do it again in a heartbeat! I love taking photos, especially of myself. I love how I was able to express myself creatively and naked! This project is amazing and I would definitely encourage others to participate."

"Les dunes sableuses ne laissent pas beaucoup de place a la surprise a part l'endroit qui m'etait completement inconnu et plein de beaute. / The sandy dunes do not leave much room for surprise except the place that was completely unknown to me and full of beauty."

"Shooting for I Shot Myself has been so much fun! Once you get into a flow nothing can stop you. After first taking some photos outside I was filled with so much confidence and joy, I spent an hour dancing around the house and I think that alone tells you something :) Plus I also learnt some new things about how to take some great shots! No regrets."

"I absolutely loved the shoot! I had such a lovely time, starting out I was looking only to take sexy shots and then I came to the realisation that the ones where I wasn't necessarily oozing sex appeal were my favorites, the ones where you can see my hair and stretchmarks are the most empowering. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity to get to know myself better."

"So this video was originally me going through my morning sort of 'ritual' while talking about my experiences shooting for ISM and BA as well as body positivity issues in general."

"This was fun and interesting as up until now I've been unaware of how my body actually looks naked, as I'm still adjusting to the Melbourne weather (I also broke my full length mirror a year ago and have yet to bother replacing it). Until now, face and minimal tit has been it for me. I was also unaware how reflective I've become."

"I really enjoyed the shoot - it was so confidence-boosting! The natural light and HD camera made me feel really confident about my appearance so I had fun playing around with different poses and positions. It was definitely a challenge to get good full-body and butt shots but I learnt some new selfie techniques like holding the camera with my feet! I love that I was able to be fully in control of the shoot as not just the model but the photographer. It was fun and comfortable and I'd love to do another. :)"

"This shoot was quite unexpected but a lot of fun (as usual, I ended up doing something very random from what I originally planned). I planned to make a meal on the beach and do photos with that but at one point a piece of my mirror broke off and as you can see, I got side tracked. But I'm super happy with what turned out. I've never done a shoot with absolutely no makeup on so I thought it was time, as I am a big believer of self acceptance. I always feel very humbly confident after a shoot for ISM which is a massive boost to my day. All I can say is that the female body is something to be proud of and I'm so blessed to have worked with such beautiful people again. Thanks guys!"

"I was so excited for the second "IShotMyself". I went to the beach with my vintage swimsuit, it was sooooo beautiful there and I really enjoyed it! A man with his dog walked past and I think he was curious about what I was doing..... I didn't mind too much, it was a bit exciting that he could see me actually. The day was full of such beautiful light and not as cold as I expected! It was a lot of fun to be creative in nature. I want to do so many more, I love IShotMyself!"

"I wanted this folio to capture a casual, playful, and intimate look at the place where I spend most of my time exploring my sexuality - my bedroom. During the shoot I wore my favourite pair of vintage 1950's underwear and explored posing with some of my favourite things: mirrors, flowers, books. This folio sees me in the place where I am at my most comfortable and confident. I enjoyed getting creative with my poses and taking photos with my feet."

"For my second shoot, I focused on the idea of nourishment. I tried to convey my feelings around this through using fruit and custard. I chose strawberries, cherries, raspberries and custard because they are such sensual and beautiful foods. By pouring custard over my body I became more aware of my curves, lines and bumps. The whole shoot really reminded me of my femininity and the power of taking care of my body and nourishing it."

"Some people accept nudity in art only as a study of body, any emotion or passion is too vulgar or even pornographic for them. For me, those "pure" studies are often poor, cold and boring. I want to show (not to hide) our emotions, desires, passions and also our small fetishes in my nude photos. I take nudies not for provocation, but for a complex demonstration of who I am and not just my body."

"I think I noticed after starting the shoot with clothes on and slowly taking them off bit by bit that I feel much more comfortable without them. My bed has always been my 'safe space' no matter my mental health or headspace and there's nothing more comfortable than rolling around in it on hot or especially cold days while just enjoying my company and my bod."

"I had lots of fun making my portfolio. I had just woken up from a morning nap and immediately started shooting. This was my first time using a selfie stick so I enjoyed experimenting with various angles. Afterwards I took a long bath and ate a watermelon :)"

"The shoot took place out in my backyard shed in the back room of said shed where I could close the door, park myself up next to the window and really let loose. Considering it's something I've never done before I very much enjoyed it and would most definitely do it again. I love being naked! If I could be naked all day every day I would. I remember when I was little, me and my mum would be at the shops and I would ask Mum if I could be bollocks and she'd say "No Jordie! Not until we get home! There's too many people around!" But I feel that it's healthy to feel comfortable in your own skin."
