New Releases

For her reload, that glorious demigoddess we know as Rosina ventures into the wilderness to deliver us another exceptional shoot. Accompanied by a pair of canine pals and a slew of mirrors, Rosina looks truly at home among the rocks and greenery. We here at ISM are powerless against her stunning eyes, perfect skin and remarkable inner-glow and we are thoroughly okay with that.

"Durant le shooting, je me suis rendue compte que ce que je vois moi est bien different de ce que voit l'appareil photo. Il m'a donc fallu apprendre a voir comme l'appareil photo afin d'avoir de belle vue. J'ai ete agreablement surprise de trouver ca marrant et interessant. Une belle experience, j'aime beaucoup les photos que j'ai faite. / During the shoot, I realized that what I see is very different from what the camera sees. So I had to learn to see like the camera in order to have nice view. I was pleasantly surprised to find this fun and interesting. A beautiful experience, I like the photos I made."

"I found once I began the shoot I started to explore in myself the possibilities of my body in front of the camera, not allowing any social constructs to play a part in my mind as I moved around my house. The raw, truthfulness I allowed to flow out through my body was a wonderful uplifting rise of energy and glow. As an artist I felt I was creating the artwork with my very own body in the most direct form of self photography. It was lovely to just be able to look at myself, all of me and creating time simply for that!"

"So this was my second time participating in I shot myself. My partner and I have taken up shibari as something to do together so I thought that would be a fun theme. I got to use my new purple rope for the first time! The classes are fun and it's an interesting hobby to do with your partner! We did a cute chest piece. I had originally finished the shoot and was wearing the rope around the house. Then once I took it off I noticed the imprint on my chest the rope had left and I really liked it! So I took a couple more shots."

"It was a new experience. A really extraordinary experience! At the beginning it is hard to shoot yourself, but then it is lots of fun! You can be as creative as you want and try new faces and poses. Best thing: just being yourself! An experience I will never forget!"

"As this shoot was taken outdoors, it strives to achieve a festive/nature-like vibe. I've always enjoyed being outdoors and doing outdoor activities so I was grateful for having the opportunity to show this throughout the photos. Ironically, the day before this shoot was taken, I had sprained my ankle playing soccer. This meant that I was quite limited in the poses I was able to perform comfortably. My love for outdoor activities had shot me in the foot when it came to this shoot (quite literally). My dogs also had the opportunity to witness me struggle in the nude, so I think they'll now be on the lookout for new owners. It might seem that I'm incapable of looking after myself, let alone them. I enjoyed my time however and the weather produced some goods!"

"J'ai fais ce shooting a la maison. J'aime la sensation d'etre nue! Le fait de ce sentir libre, et d'assumer qui je suis, je ne trouve pas ce projet vulgaire, au contraire il montre la beaute de la femme au naturel / I did this shoot at home. I like the feeling of being naked! The fact of this free feeling, and to know who I am, I do not find this a vulgar project. On the contrary it shows the beauty of the natural woman"

"My shoot is inspired by the natural world and how the human body is a beautiful unique thing created by nature, just like the forests and oceans, and that it shouldn't be something to be ashamed of or hidden away! I'm learning slowly that society can't tell me what beauty is, and that I should start loving myself for every scar, every stretch mark, every imperfection. I enjoyed playing around with the elements fire, water and earth, connecting my body to the natural world while having fun and being artistic!"

"My courtyard is very much a place of leisure, of relaxation, and happens to be a place that I sun-bake naked in whenever I can. So whilst I don't necessarily normally stand around pouring warm water on my body, or lie on my dining floor, I do inhabit these spaces of my home in ways that people don't normally see. So it was lovely to be able to share those moments of intimacy and peace with you."

"All my flatmates were gone for the winter holidays, so I shot myself at home, alone. Something unexpected happened while I was shooting: I learned to love my body even more, with all its flaws and things I didn't used to appreciate. I felt free and in peace. I felt happy."

"In this photo shoot I wanted to show a bit more of my interests so decided to play with a few props. I got out my violin and attempted to play while taking photos with my feet. I realised it is very hard to do such multitasking. I also did some crocheting and played with my burlesque fan because these are all things I really enjoy doing. My gorgeous cat, Possum, made quite the appearance in the photo shoot as she is the most photogenic beauty ever. I had a bit of a red theme going on because I find red such a seductive colour and even picked some red flowers from my garden and threw the petals over myself, American Beauty style. I really enjoyed shooting in this room because it has a stunning bay window (which caused me a few honks from cars on the street) and has some lovely plants around. I would have loved to be in my front garden for the shoot because of some of the incredible plants there, but I definitely would have been charged for public indecency."

"When I decided to do Ishotmyself, it wasn't so much a question of "can I do this" as "what am I going to do?" After thinking for a few days on it, I decided to do what I love - pole dancing. This created a much tougher shoot than I had imagined, I knew it would be hard, but it was harder than I'd expected. The combination of working out tricks I could do, despite the fact I've been doing pole for a few years, was a challenge! Getting into moves and then realising I couldn't reach the camera anymore was a major one! But even though there were many struggles, it was fun! Taking the camera into my hands, and having to step back and look at my body, I think helped me be less judgy over my flaws, which is actually the opposite of what I'd expected!"

"Coming... going... coming, why don't you come in here? Here to there, from East back to West she roams and now finds a quiet night alone in her friend's magical abode. With the lights around her she lets her hands dance around her body, letting loose fingers roam free, exploring herself with the camera, making a map of her body like the ones she had used in travels across seas. Riding out her own waves and settling in to sleep, a one night stand with herself. The next morning she awakes with the morning sun and so with a smile in her eye she sets off for her new adventure and bids you a fond yet cheeky goodbye."

"I did my shoot in my bedroom, which is actually a loft in my friend's garage! It's an old art studio space, very dreamy and comfortable. I started with just waking up and playing around with the camera and I felt myself getting more and more ideas as I went along. I had a shower, took more photos, got ready for my day, took more and it just unfolded as a creative cool nudie part of my routine. It felt so natural. So rewarding to see myself in different lighting and angles that I found flattering and even sometimes unflattering. Instead of a blog or a diary or yoga I might start just doing this every month or week as a time to unfold and be creative! I love love love it."

"I shot myself in the stairwell of my apartment block, and it was all at once really funny and really scary - getting naked in public is one thing, getting naked so close to home is quite another! There were a few close calls (hello residents of apartment 8!) but all in all I managed. A couple of carpet burns later, and here's my shoot! It really was great fun, and I made more creative use of those stairs than I ever have before."
