Sondrine//"calendar_girl"
"It's uncommon to find a woman that hasn't had any issues with her body. Loving yourself can be a process that is something to work towards. My relationship with my body fluctuates. Sometimes I'm completely happy and confident, and you don't need to tell me I'm beautiful, because I KNOW. Other days I nit-pick, agonise over the flaws, and no matter what people say, or how much my partner worships me, I'm unsatisfied. I want to be like the other girls. When I shoot a folio, I love myself. I feel like a sexual goddess, I celebrate my body in all its goodness and others will too. By shooting over the course of over a month, I removed the luxury of confidence. I shot myself each day for better or worse and it was interesting to see where my mind took me as I framed each shot. Focusing on different things, the mood changes everything and I encourage you to take that into consideration as you flick through the photos. This folio reminded me that even when I forget, I'm always beautiful."

Suzie_G//"we_are_stars"
"This folio reflects ways in which I see and understand the connection between the human body and Earth. I do believe that we are all... (break it down now) ...Stars. We are all International women. Not one is more than another, it is up to each individual to be the star that they really are inside. Knowing this, sharing it with others now, allows me to feel confident when I feel scared, shy, paranoid, uncertain, anything. So look at the vessel that you are in, treat it kindly and show yourself to the world and to our mother, she wants to see us grow. When you are able to do this, you will see all the beauty around on offer and feel it, feel one, feel you! This shoot is my first of the kind. It was intriguing, fun and funky, sexy, natural and a little more challenging on the muscles than expected!"

Lucy_Lapkin//"wrapped-up"
"These are just photos of me living my life. I used headphones in some of the shots to show how I get wrapped up in my favourite music. I also found myself goofing off with the mirror and playing with the image in it like it was a friend. I was really inspired by Corinne Day's shoot with Kate Moss for the Face in which she treated nudity as playful and natural rather than sexual."

Cody_B//"girl_gang"
"The shoot I did was supposed to be in my friend's spare bedroom because she has a pole in her room and I had some really good ideas for how I could incorporate pole dancing into my shoot but unfortunately I couldn't shoot there because I was quite sick. I had to improvise and do a really basic shoot in my bedroom and bathroom. Even though I didn't get to use my original plan for the shoot I am still happy with how it turned out. I wanted to wear my new "girl gang" top in some of the shots because I am all about girl power and us women loving ourselves and our bodies and feeling really empowered. I started the photos with half wet hair and as I took more photos it dried with nice natural waves."

Marcelle//"take_the_power_2"
"One of my biggest missions with my art is the promotion of gender equality because it seems to me that there's a massive imbalance in the world between men and women. We grow up in completely different realities, being taught completely different things."

Jasmine_P//"little_red"
"I had a lot of fun with shooting these photos as "selfies" really aren't my forte so I had to get creative! The first attempt taking them I got seen by someone on a back road! The second attempt I drove out into the forest in my little red sports car, stripped down and started snapping. Playing with water and car wash suds was extremely fun, although I didn't realize how slippery the engine bonnet would get and nearly slid off a few times. I wanted to show my kinky side a bit, so chose my favourite accessories (heels, fishnets & a crop) to shoot with. It made me feel really sexy and confident. I love the way the shoot turned out!"

Rosalia_M//"own_it"
"I have faced myself in the mirror every day for nearly 20 years and never have truly seen myself as I have when I did this project. I photographed my most vulnerable parts, and was faced with my biggest fears. I faced my body and was forced to shoot it at every angle, and I was surprised in how confident I feel after doing this. I saw my flaws and owned them. I may not be happy with my body all the time but I know I have to continue on my path of self love, and this shoot has been an amazing step in that journey."

Henna//"belle_bronze"
"This shoot was my favourite by far! It was so funny seeing the before and after shots - SO glad I started fake tanning. This was honestly a lot of fun, and made me feel great about my body. Bring on the bronze! Special thanks to my girlfriend for doing my back ;)"

Marissa//"hete_zon"
"Summer has arrived and it felt really nice to feel the heat of the sun as well as the breeze of the wind for this outside shoot. It was a great moment where I connected with myself and my instincts while capturing every action and movement in the camera. That was a beautiful experience who made me feel amazing during and after the shoot. I expressed myself in different ways, showed you a peek of my personality and style and I also let my passion of dancing be part of this shoot!"

Aviendha//"wish_you_here"
"This shoot was basically just me exploring my form 'through the lens' for the first time. I was trialing a few different ideas floating in my mind such as colour play (bold and subtle), play with pattern and backdrop as well as angles, lighting, line, those sort of things. I tried to create a unifying element for some consistency with the use of white and the 'blank wall'. It was a really unique experience and I learnt a lot about how I would conduct future shoots; I love the idea of having strong concepts and consistency with setting, composition, aesthetic and theme; as well as getting into some outdoor settings."

Paolita//"fotobombed"
"Die meisten der bilder habe ich im haus einer freundin gemacht. wir sind zusammen nackt durch die wohnung gelaufen.. der hund des hauses hat viele der bilder gefotobombed der shoot war eines der besten dinge, die ich in den letzten paar monaten gemacht hab. neben den wenigen bildern auf der website, habe ich vermutlich an die 300 mehr bilder gemacht, mit denen ich nicht zufrieden war ("so seh ich von hinten aus??", "ich sollte mehr sport Machen") und dann sind da aber diese bilder entstanden auf denen ich mich selbst sehe und toll finde / Most of the pictures I took in the house of a girlfriend. We walked together naked through the apartment. The dog of the house was in many of the pictures, it kept photobombing! This shoot was one of the best things I've done in the last few months. Next to the few pictures I saw on the website, I didn't like some of mine. I probably took about 300 pictures, some of which I was not satisfied ("so I see I look like that from behind","I should move more"). However in these pictures emerged something in which I see myself and they're great to look at!"

Bianca_L//"autumn_interlude"
Bianca_L returns to ISM with an intimate bedroom shoot, giving us a wee glimpse into the hallowed sanctuary of this sublime being. Accompanied by a sleepy ginger cat, Bianca_L revels in her comfortable surroundings and perfectly demonstrates her versatile and notable beauty. To be privy to such splendour is the highest of honours that us mere mortals will forever appreciate.

Tasha_D//"light_my_fire"
"This shoot was incredibly enjoyable and I felt so in tune with my open and free nature. I work with books and flowers, as well as reading and writing daily so it felt fitting that my shoot was literature themed. The creative control was exciting and the ideas flowed so freely. Taking part in this shoot reminded me how fucking amazing my mind and body are, especially when working in sync."

Taylor_B//"yogini"
"The first part of the shoot, (outside) I shot straight after a uni lecture. I loved getting under the hose on such a hot day! I did this part of the shoot with no mirror. The inside shoot I did at a friend's house. I had such a fun time blasting my favourite music :) I found it challenging to think of new positions - ISM is definitely not as easy as it sounds! And I developed a new found appreciation for creative selfie art."
