"I had such an amazing location to play with in my shoot. It provided me with endless opportunities like heavy curtains to drape myself in and an orchard to climb in. There was even a cat perving on me. I thought I would struggle to get undressed at first, thinking I'd be nervous or shy, but it turned out to be fine and quite freeing. The only problem was that it was also quite freezing. Especially outside. I was a bit nervous of being seen outside, but I figured whoever saw me wouldn't say anything. They'd just go "Oh, that girl's doing a nude photo shoot with herself for an art project or something. I'd go, incase she asks me to model or something". I also finally discovered what I look like from behind."

"This is my first experience with I Shot Myself. Why did I decide to participate? I really like experiments, especially of an intimate nature. I decided to shoot at home, as I would like to show you my monastery. At first, while taking photos, I doubted whether or not to do it, but then I really liked it, and I completely relaxed and got a lot of pleasure. And most importantly, I saw myself from the other side and became more liberated. I began to love myself and my body, although I used to have complexes. I want to say thank you very much for this opportunity to participate in your project, I hope that other women will also be able to take away something useful for themselves by doing this."

"At sunset out on the farm, open spring air, and miles of open space. I feel free and the breeze was flirting with me. I love it when the sun kisses my skin and I love being able to see and admire my own body, with this old farm mirror. I do fall into fantasy that someone across a paddock would admire me too. I felt flirty with the tripod, in dance with it! I loved knowing that you're witnessing me creating my own photos and there's something about capturing my natural beauty, unedited, in the wild ferns, that leaves me feeling more in love with myself, and more turned on. I did love how the fern shadow crawled across my body and I'm still inspired to take more!"

"Hi! I want to share my story about the creation of this folio. My relationship with the body has always been associated with struggle, a place of battle. In the last month, the feeling of non-acceptance has become more acute, showing myself to my partner has become...embarrassing? Naked pictures of my body helped me to stop the flow of thoughts. It took me half an hour to stand naked in front of the mirror and gradually touch myself, again to study and get acquainted. I cried. I thought about I Shot Myself at the moment. Once it helped me a lot to think that I am not alone, that there is a place where I will be accepted as I am. A practice with which I could mentally land. Learn new things about myself. And most importantly, share a story. I invite you to watch me come back to myself and enjoy spending time with myself!"

"This is definitely a different experience! Shooting this ISM made me love myself, skin colour, and my body because being so petite I've had lots of insulting comments about my appearance. I decided to shoot in my tiny backyard and continued to shoot the next morning in the lounge area. During the shoot I didn't know what to think to be honest but looking at myself and shooting all areas turned me on haha! Taking photos up close of my private areas was actually empowering me in a very positive way, I feel so feminine, and so free! While shooting, my brother nearly saw me in my very wide angle pose! Now, I'm so confident to take photos of all areas in any position!"

"I was fortunate enough to be living in Mt Dandenong while doing the shoot. I played around our property, hoping that no bushwalkers would pass along the nearby walking track. I got covered in leaves, sticks and LEECHES. After one of the laying down photos, I stood up and had to flick 4 baby leeches off my arms and body... lucky they didn't enter any nether-regions. It felt like home to me to be naked in the forest. But to be feeling so sexy whilst doing it, what a treat! Looking back at the photos by myself and with my partner has filled me with confidence and an expanded appreciation for my body's curves and edges. I love that I Shot Myself encouraged the shoot to be authentic, so when I look at the images, I don't just feel like a sexy piece of meat. I feel like a sexy, peaceful ME."

"This shoot was delayed several times due to power and heat outages, it was very difficult to capture the exact time when there was good daylight and the lights and heat were not turned off. But I still found the time and enjoyed the shoot. It was a very interesting experiment for me in terms of posing. I am a former gymnast and acrobat, so it was not difficult to choose interesting poses for the photos, I experimented with locations, positions and even managed to take very creative and interesting photos, I think you can see it for yourself. I was very afraid that they would turn off the power again and I would not be able to finish it in one day, but everything went perfectly."

"This was so fun and captivating! I had already done several solo ISM shoots, but I had no idea that us shooting together would be an absolutely new experience. It required new ideas and decisions. Trying to make photos of us having sex gave me contradictory feelings: on the one hand, it was distracting from the process, on the other hand, it was adding some spice to it. We were shooting for maybe three hours, fooling around and having sex. Now it's so nice and heart-warming to look at all these snaps where we smile, and hug, and kiss each other."

"About 10 years ago I did my first ISM, since then I had not participated in something like this on the web again... and after so many years. I thought it would be interesting to return to show the changes in my body. Not only the years have contributed to these changes, a few months ago I had surgery and now my belly is covered in scars. It's still early and I'm sure the scars will soften, but I wanted to capture this change in my body in some way and embrace it, sharing it to normalize that bodies change and it's okay to also appreciate those defects over time. Somehow I feel the Kintsugi in my body, a Japanese repair method that celebrates the history of each object by emphasizing its fractures instead of hiding or disguising them, transforming it into an object even more beautiful than the original."

"I took photos at my villa, on an island. I waited until my boyfriend left and I was left alone. I took a shower and shaved my pussy before shooting, washed up. I'm used to taking photos of myself naked but this photo shoot was unique in that I was as natural as possible and without makeup. In general, I always have make up on and use a photo editor and filters for photos and videos. That's why this content is really unique. It was also fun that I tried new different angles for myself, which I usually didn't use. It was also fun to find interesting angles in the mirror and take pictures of my ass. I did very well in these photos to explore the possibilities of the human hand. How it can take photos of sexy body parts. It was fun."

"This was a really interesting project! It was a bit challenging at first having to shoot in bright light and being limited by holding the camera myself. It felt difficult to capture the more traditionally or socially acceptable versions of what might be flattering. I found however as I got further into the shoot I became more accepting of my "flaws", wrinkles, dimples, stretchmarks, squishy bits. And even felt drawn to try and get more of that in there! The other thing that was interesting was not leaning into my usual props of heavy makeup, lingerie, costume, filters... I really did feel naked. Again, this was hard at first but became easier and a feeling of self love and liberation came over as I embraced it: This is me! This is who I am! I don't need anyone else to love it, just me."

"I was shooting during daytime on the weekend, while my sister went to meet her friends. I have a French bulldog puppy and she can't stay long without me, so I tried to lock her in bathroom. Obviously after 5 mins she started to cry in the most pitiful way every pup can cry so I took her back, we played and I closed her back in the bathroom, at least it helped for 10-15 mins while I was shooting myself. I gave her some puppy toys and I was tempted to continue shooting, luckily the pup was too tired and she felt asleep so I could finish with the pictures. I was enjoying creating this shoot and was maybe a bit shy because of bruises all over my legs (I had an exhausting poledance class the day before shooting), but I hope these small imperfections is not catching attention too much."

"Hello there my friends, it's Lilie here! Boy howdy, has it has been a long time between shoots - I've been busy fighting dark sorcerers and ensuring the ring of power is destroyed in the fiery chasm from whence it came - you know, the usual! But it's absolutely fabulous to be back again darlings, and I had just as much fun doing this one as my very first one! I just love getting nude (wish it was socially acceptable to do more often without the danger of committing public indecency!) and had a grand old time re-introducing you all to my body! She's a bit older, and has some more art on her, but I love her just as much, probably more!"

"I had a lot of fun making these photos as always! It was a bit more challenging because my place has little to no privacy, so I had to be very sneaky. It was a nice sunny day and my room also catches a little rainbow from the glass balcony of my neighbours. I put some y2k music that makes me feel powerful and went ahead with the shoot :). My favourite was to strap my breasts with the belt, I love the shape that it creates. I've also used white flowers and white clothing so it would have kind of a cohesive vibe. Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them!"

"I shot myself in my new flat, over two afternoons. I can still hardly believe it's mine! No more inspections! And I love it so much. I decided to set up a bit of a pretty area near my big window, and experimented with a few other areas. I was pretty surprised that halfway through the shoot, I started to feel really insecure. That's not me! What's going on? I ended up centering myself, put the project away and started again the next morning. It's funny the difference a day can make - I really love how so many of the photos came out, especially with the tulips and being a bit handsy with my mannequin. I'm so grateful for my body, the scars and extra bits I didn't used to have, but are markers of my growth as a person. I feel I've undergone a shift in self-perception through this project, and I'm pleased."
