New Releases

"It's hard to find time alone in a house with 8 people and I had no luck with it but I made good use of my room and shower. I turned on Velvet Underground and had fun stripping down to 'Femme Fatale' which is my ultimate sexy song. I just got a new kitten and she is very cuddly so it was hard to keep her from trying to snuggle in beside me so she got shot too! It was fun experimenting with all the mirror angles and positions and I discovered I was much more flexible than I thought. I am so glad I took part in ISM, I think I'll have this sexy glow for the next week!"

"I'm 23 years old and new to Melbourne! I identify as pan-sexual and love all human beings, and sport and music is what I do in my spare time! But I do love the occasional PC and Console gaming (you might spy a SNES controller in a couple of shots). Festivals are where I let my hair down and can really unwind, nothing's better than letting your heart out and feeling the love of everyone, it's so contagious."

"We chased the kangaroos for what seemed like miles but every time we got close, they hopped away. Then the male of the herd came right up to check us out which was really scary - he stared at Sarah with his muscles flexed and I thought he was going to attack! They do that sometimes."

"I am very comfortable naked and it was a positive experience shooting for I Shot Myself. I felt like it increased my sense of self awareness and made me think of possible ways I am perceived by other people."

"I decided to do a few different themes throughout the shoot. I wanted to show the different areas of my life and I found that it made me be a lot more creative and I was able to really put it all out there. By showing different parts of me I felt like I was really letting everyone in and showing them all my little secrets, like eating pizza on the kitchen floor, which is a common occurrence for myself."

"I had fun with this shoot. It'd been a 40 degree day so I waited until right before dusk to begin, my timing was perfect because it started to rain just as I decided to stop. Although I probably could have explored further (there were so many weird and interesting things in the trash/treasure island that is my current back yard). There is a whole block of apartments that can see down into my backyard, it makes me laugh to imagine what they would have thought had they seen me frolicking in the wasteland. At one point my neighbour came out to hang her washing and had she looked through the gaping cracks in the fence she would have definitely been greeted with some interesting sights...Enjoy!"

"The shoot was great fun. The photographs seem to know every minute how they can bring me in the perfect spot or light and I had a very good time. It was good practice so that I learned a lot about how I can make pictures by myself."

It's no secret that Anna_Belle loves cats, ESPECIALLY her beautiful fur baby Yuki so it makes complete sense that her third solo outing at ISM would feature her sweet little companion so prominently. Add to that some gentle pinks, bubbles and dappled afternoon light and you have the perfect combination of things that showcase this glorious being's talent for capturing every angle of her enviable form with aplomb.

"So I had big plans for this shoot. I was going to make a bit of a statement by dressing up in a beautiful evening gown all made up. Then I was going to deconstruct it and take pics of myself plucking, putting on make-up, shaving, fixing my hair etc. The morning of the shoot, I dislocated my knee. My plans went a bit haywire. Instead I have a shoot where I ended up kissing the parts of my body I struggle with (including the injured knee), and just having fun with the objects that make up my life in my room."

"It was interesting doing the shoot. It's quite a lot of photos and it can be hard to find inspiration. For me, it was trying to get into the right head space. And trying to not get caught by my housemate. I found it difficult doing the below the waist shots. I struggle with that area of my body a lot. But it's a very liberating experience. It was a good challenge/experiment for me because you can't help but feel self conscious. But it is interesting what you feel about your body and how you think the world will perceive you. But that's the liberating part, cause' it doesn't actually matter."

"I felt very liberated after the shoot, I got the chance to explore my body in different lights and environment, my flexibility, my comfort zone. It was witty to play and move around with different positions and props, I never truly looked at myself like I thought I had before."

"I'm really open about my sexuality. I was always the one in school who was talking about masturbating and constantly shocking people because I was such a "nice girl". You should be able to be nice and also kinky! I'm not necessarily gay or straight, just overtly sexual perhaps. I love to experience all sensations, so I'm not closed off to any suggestions offered. Sex is such an awesome, animalistic thing... it's an opportunity to not think and just completely lose yourself to feeling. It's so desirable when it gets gross and sweaty and noisy and you've just become completely free."

"Skateboarding naked is now officially the free-est I have ever felt! I had a lot of fun and would love to do something like this again!"

"It was really hard to begin and it was freezing! In some of the photos you can even see the goosebumps. For the first part of the shoot I chose the workshop at my house because I liked the softness of my body against the hard edges of the tool wall. The second part was a couple of days later, and it was still freezing! This time I shot in my room surrounded by the things that I love; my instruments and music! I found this shoot more difficult and I was feeling less comfortable with my body. It took some perseverance but I ended up finding a space where I was happy and also excited by the shoot. It was fun getting turned on by doing the shoot and feeling like I could be desirable to myself!"

"I was a little bit nervous before starting this project but once I started I had more and more confidence with the camera. I tried to transmit my everyday passion which is creativity in everything I do. I looked at the art of every single part of my body in shooting my nudity. I feel beautiful and confident with myself today. Thanks ISM for this new beautiful experience. Hope you will feel my purpose in looking at my pics. Have fun!"
