"I chose to take the photos outside as I feel I am a Dryad Nymph, which means a tree nymph. In Greek mythology nymphs were protectors of rivers, forests, trees etc. Nymphs were also very sexual beings and were always female. While shooting I was continuously bitten by mosquitoes, which was sending my crazy! Half way through the shoot I was trying not to irritate the bites so that those pesky marks wouldn't show on the camera. I was also lucky enough to find 2 beautiful feathers on the ground! I was so excited I of course had to include them in the shoot. It was an especially hot day so being naked felt so freeing! Feeling that breeze between my butt cheeks was especially nice!"

"I think the shoot was really fun, more than I expected, as I never shot myself before. It was quite a challenge to find new poses and be creative but I had a lot of laughs too so it was an amazing experience!"

"Time shortage meant I had to cheekily run around the house while home alone. First I started by incorporating my surroundings but then began to focus on my body. There were lots of flowers in my house which was fun to play with and smelled great afterwards. I then attempted to distort and create a sense of movement in my body through still images. As the shoot went on, although already comfortable in my skin, the feeling grew stronger and I appreciated my body even more. Super fun and rewarding experience!"

"For my photo shoot, I chose to stick to two main colors; blues and pinks. Sweet pastels that contrast each other softly. I've taken pictures of people, people have taken pictures of me, but never have I taken such a large amount of photos of myself and made them all look different, yet related. It definitely forced me to use my creativity and experiment. For example, I used multiple props, such as flowers, a mirror, and a glass filled with shards of a broken pink light bulb (don't worry, I didn't drink any of it!). At first, I thought that looking at myself for such an extended period of time would make me point out all the flaws in me. But the effect was the complete opposite; I've never appreciated my physique this much! I love every curve, scar, hair, and bump that my body has to offer."

"This will be my second project for ISM and can I say they just keep getting better. I felt so comfortable in this video because I am always naked at home. The routine is that I get back from work and strip off in the doorway. I do house chores nude all the time anyway so it was no different than my everyday life."

"I went with a fairy theme for my shoot as I wanted something that was innocently beautiful. It shows a woman's body in a less sexualised manner but it can still be appreciated. I used colours and crisp white to make the photos pop but without there being anything behind me distracting from the image. I will be honest though there were plenty of logistical issues using glitter all over my body, I think I will be finding glitter in my things for years to come."

"It's been a wonderful experience. It's the first time I've shot myself, and I've really enjoyed to do it. I've been able to explore my most intimate and shy side and the most self confident and proud, making a beautiful trip being the director and the model, I've had a lot of fun!"

"So... I live with my parents. I love them to bits, and they accept me for who I am, but they would definitely be on the more conservative side. When I decided to 'shoot myself', I was so excited about the project I was telling all my friends, even telling randoms, but no way was I telling my parents. I originally wanted to do the shoot at the nudist beach in Torquay, because I think it's a beautiful place and I love the idea of natural beauty coupled with natural bodies. Unfortunately I couldn't get out there, and so had to do the shoot in my house. My parents courtyard was the only place I could get good lighting, so I did it in there. As you can guess, they walked in half way through the shoot, just as I was taking a close up photo of the good stuff between my legs. Anyway, after the initial shock and assumptions were overcome, I was able to explain all about the project - the awesome thing is that now we are talking about body positivity and feminism so much more in the household, which is hopefully going to be amazing for my little sister."

"In this shoot I was exploring how it feels getting close to nature in my own natural state. I found a blissful state of peace being outdoors surrounded by flowers and plants and feeling the breeze over me everywhere. It was a bit nerve racking having close neighbours but I came to learn that I am doing these shoots to lose fear! I loved getting creative with reflections, different plants, and just being happy and natural outside!"

"I was shooting and trying to get the best pose, while barely holding the camera, and I saw a neighbour passing by way too near the window. I had to get to the floor in a jump to not be seen. Then I found I could do some nice photos in that posture too. Never dismiss the power of chance. Just being naked, with the air on my skin, taking pictures and looking at myself got me so turned on that I had to take a break and masturbate to be able to continue the shoot. Never underestimate your own sexuality."

"I was originally going to shoot at the skate park down the road from my house, but every time I checked it out it was overrun by schoolchildren or skaters. I didn't want to get caught out in the skate bowl, so I decided to do it in my new room as I'd moved the day before. While I was dyeing my hair and wandering around naked I went outside and had a cigarette and decided to take some of the photos in the backyard. It was the first time I'd been home alone and able to just wander around naked outside so I took advantage of the freedom and got creative with the camera. It felt so great to stand out in the open air in my backyard, it's got no trees and is surrounded by two-story houses so I was out there for the world to see, it was funny and liberating. The wind was blowing my hair around but I didn't feel cold, even in the Melbourne air! Then I went inside, and decided to take some photos with my lace curtains. I really enjoyed the shoot, I picked a flower from outside and scattered the petals across my body and around me. The battery died as I decided I was taking the last photo."

"Perfect grey Sunday at home eating cheese toasties and taking selfies. I had all these big plans of going out into the bush and taking spectacular landscapes but then I discovered I could be just as adventurous in bed. Lovely to get to know my self more."

"Enjoying a lazy day off outside even though the weather was not great to me. Sunny one minute, freezing cold next minute. I love being outdoors, fresh air, no make up just playing around. I loved putting on my favorite dress, knickers and dancing to Banks which made me feel like a million dollarydoos."

"I ended up at a yoga ashram the week I was meant to do the shoot, so most photos were taken when I'd snuck off the property and from the day's routine of yoga and gardening! It definitely made the ashram a bit more fun. It was really interesting for me because looking at the photos, I realised that I barely knew what I looked like naked. And I liked it! And I was surprised to like it. I was also surprised to find how hard it was to set up proper spaces for the shoot. I haven't had a mirror in my room in a long time and bathroom mirrors don't have the same effect as a camera. I find it really grounding to know what I look like, and empowering to play with my image while watching myself, and feeling pleasured by that."

"I only had my small bedroom to work with, but I wanted to incorporate my passion for the African drum, my drawings and my love of nature into the shoot; hence the mandalas, the djembe and the flowers. I believe that the flowers represent the body as a beautiful part of nature, the mandalas are symbolic for connecting to the divine and the drums represent rhythm and tribalism."
