New Releases

"My favourite shoot so far! Henna and I went searching for a location and found ourselves on the roof of a local cinema carpark. The sky was beautiful, the light was great, I was surrounded by apartment buildings with big tinted windows, and beneath us trains kept speeding by with curious passengers trying to catch a glimpse. So much fun. My fear of being busted kept me nice and warm, and outsmarting the security guard in the last five minutes left me feeling very powerful! I've got a nice collection of bruises from diving out of sight, mind you. We love ISM!"

"The reason behind me doing the shoot was that for a long time now, I have been seeking more happiness and confidence out of my life. I have felt for a while that the likes of instagram, facebook and magazines have really affected the younger generation's confidence as they all give the illusion that you have to have the perfect figure, the perfect contoured face, a teeny waist and a female body-builder's bum. Who are we really trying to impress? A fake world behind a screen! I came here to become my true self, be healthy and happy in who I am, so when I spoke to the people behind ISM and got an idea of the meaning behind this it really stuck out to me, as I have been hoping to find women that are like-minded and appreciate REAL people. At the end of the day we all live to be loved and I guarantee you whether you are in a relationship or searching, or happy being single, there will always be just one person that loves your imperfections - whether it be your Mum, your dog, boyfriend, girlfriend, there is always one. There is too much criticism now towards women in regards to what the media has portrayed us to look like and this site is perfect for making real women feel good about themselves and it gives me a chance to also contribute to people feeling good about themselves. Lots of love ladies :) X"

"After such a fun and exciting shoot last time, I was eager to take more pictures. This time was far more opportunistic, I had the camera with me at my friend's house and I snapped a few in her garden. Her bathroom has a floor to ceiling window which lets in beautiful, natural light. I love being naked outdoors but even taking the pictures in my bedroom feels completely liberating."

"I spent a beautiful weekend wandering around the house naked and slowly taking photos. My dogs continuously barged in to attack me with licks, especially when I was lying down. Trying to take photos with a straight face when my boxer cross American bulldog was staring down at me just out of the frame was a challenge, as was avoiding squinting my eyes in the summer sun. All in all it was incredibly rewarding and fun. This was such a fun project and I would recommend it to everyone."

"I did my third shoot for ISM mostly because I was so inspired by my surroundings. My beautiful room in my beautiful warehouse is so light filled and I've got flowers and plants scattered through the room. I wanted to show the connection I feel to my surroundings and the happiness I feel in my body at the moment. I had just come back from a run, when I'm happiest, so you can see in the early photos I am still hot and a bit uncomfortable, slowly becoming more natural and at ease in my body again. My hair is tangly and my body feels beautiful. This was my favourite shoot so far - it felt like the easiest manifestation of me and where I feel most comfortable."

"I chose to complete this shoot in my backyard for the main part, where most of my back fences are completely covered in wild vines, I also gathered pot plants and flowers to incorporate because I wanted the shoot to look very natural, because I feel like being naked is a completely natural thing."

"It all started out with being hungry. My roomie threw a frozen pizza in the oven while I thought of what I could experiment with first. As she sliced the pizza into its triangulated form I thought what better to do with a hot slice than place it artfully on my cooch. Thank god I had the idea to put it over tin foil first, but gosh it sure was greasy haha. Yes I still ate it. All I know is my favorite form of art is something that can bring a smile to my face, and this shoot definitely did it for me, so I hope I can bring a smile to all of ya'll too :)"

"My studio window backs onto my neighbour's house, a bedroom window to be specific. Shooting this folio required fully open windows to catch that beautiful daylight, but it also meant my neighbours catching a little more than they may have hoped for when they peered out their window and into mine. The thought excited me a little, I won't lie!"

"What I loved the most from this project is having the chance to talk about my sexuality, body image, passions and experiences while I shot myself. Doing this created an authenticity in my shoot, a feeling that I was actually engaging with you - the audience - which brought the project alive for me."

"I found this shoot liberating in my own room because I felt totally comfortable in that space and learned a lot about how great my body is, but also challenging in my lack of photography knowledge and difficult natural lighting situation. Shooting outside was slightly awkward at times because while I'm totally okay taking these photos for myself and ISM, I felt the need not to impose my nudity on my roommates or friends which made it difficult but a great learning experience. I'm happy to be a challenged but optimistic contributor to ISM!"

"I had SO MUCH FUN shooting myself. It gave me the chance to be creative, while getting back in touch with my body. Before doing this I didn't realise how little time I've spent naked with myself, and how unaccustomed I had become to my own nakedness. Taking pictures of my body in all of its soft, pale, curvy glory has helped me to become friends with body again, and I am so glad she's back! (even if shooting outside was cold as fuck)"

"Well we have a gorgeous sunny autumn day for my pics, it was a little crowded at home for open spaces but I did my best. I used various spaces at home chasing the sun as at this time of year there is only a small opening of sunlight. I loved playing with the effects of the fan creating shadows and I hope you like them as well."

"This was SO MUCH FUN! In all honesty, I had way more issues with the selfie aspect opposed to the actual nudity. Meaning that I am a short woman. I never really found it to be such a big problem, until I was literally trying to squeeze my body into the viewfinder whilst simultaneously straining my stupid finger to hit the shutter button at the right moment. I'm not sure if they'll make the final cut, but there are certainly quite a few photos where I failed and just started laughing. THAT is what you take away from this experience if you embrace it. When I hit the button and took those photos I wasn't thinking about sucking it in, or giving sexy face, etc. Truly, such a raw and intimate way to get in touch with yourself. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this project!"

That dynamic darling we know as Daisy_A presents us with another gorgeous folio. Whilst kicking back in her room, a warm honey-like glow accompanies the shoot and perfectly illustrates Daisy_A's talent for capturing her sublime energy (not to mention, our hearts) within these images.

"I didn't really know where to start because I had never really taken nude photos before this except for an occasional cheeky snapchat here and there to my boyfriend. I did my photos in 4 or 5 different sessions so I could think of what else I could use and where else I could go. My room was too dark to take any good pictures so I went to the spare bedroom and opened the blinds. I started with a few, looked at them and deleted every one but then realised that's not the point of this project. So I refused to look at any of them until I knew I had taken over 150. Doing this shoot made me feel so empowered, it gave me confidence in myself that I didn't know was possible. When I used my lingerie I never felt sexier in my life, I was so happy to get to use it all again! I love my body and I have this project to thank for that."
