New Releases

"I live at home with my boyfriend and his best friend, so it was hard to find a time to romp around the house naked. I ended up sneaking behind my roommate's back while it was raining to get some pictures. My housemates weren't pleased with all of the glitter left behind. Glitter is the herpes of the craft world so I don't think we will be getting rid of it anytime soon."

"This folio was shot in two locations, capturing two of my favourite times of the day - the bright morning light and the warm afternoon sun. The morning sun wakes me slowly, warming up my body, I lay in bed slowly preparing for my day. The afternoon sun caresses me in the sleepiness of the afternoon, slowing down everything around me for a moment of my day to pause and relax. In my window hang a few crystals, which catch the sunlight and throw rainbows around my bedroom, painting the walls, floor, ceiling, bed, everything, with colour. I love to lay on my bed and let the rainbows wash over me and decorate my skin."

"When I was shooting myself I wanted to focus on the lighting and the way it complemented my body positions in the photos. I sat mostly next to the window and placed the mirror up against it to create the bright photos. I found it easier taking photos in the mirror as I was able to see what pose I was taking and how I could change it. I experimented with the mirrors, placing them on the floor so I was able to take many photos of my body from different angles."

"At first I was nervous, not knowing what the outcome would be. I didn't want to overthink it. I wanted to be free to express myself without judgement, it would have been more challenging not to have an erase button. I wanted it to be as real as possible with me waking up and getting ready in my bedroom, well, my nomadic bedroom."

It's a given that as the weather changes, so too does your wardrobe. In today's reload Jewelskristi demonstrates her talent for clothing modification. A winter woolly can easily become a summer garment with just a simple pair of scissors and a bit of ingenuity and we're all the more thankful for it.

"I chose to theme my shoot in a way that also represents myself, and my love for petplay. It was a bit difficult setting up but how good is all the pink! Aside from that, I can tell you right now that next time I'll be putting the cats in the other room haha, they would not leave me alone! :)"

"When taking the pictures in my home, I wanted to ensure that the lighting was perfect, to capture not only every single element of my body in the right way - but also enhance my favourite feature of myself (which are my eyes). I feel like when the lighting is perfect, it really brings out the colour within my pupils and that ultimately will reflect an awesome shot. I also wanted the lighting to be quite bright, so by using the lightest room within my house, I was able to completely enhance the body paint and glitter which I used for the shoot. I personally feel that my shots reflected the glitter perfectly and lit every part of my body in a way which I was completely happy with."

"Hello my name is Amberella. This is my first time videoing so if I have terrible video skills, I apologise in advance. I've got a few ideas for this shoot so I'll do it in different sections - some outside and some in my bedroom. This is my third time shooting myself as you like to call it, which I still think is such a great name. The first time I did it was four years ago and I loved it. I thought it was really liberating and I feel like everyone should do it. A lot has happened in four years - I think this project helped me change a lot about the way I feel about my body, so that's always a beneficial thing. This time I'd quite like to explore different ways I can move my body."

"Although I have always been comfortable with nudity and being naked, the experience of doing this project allowed me to see my body in ways I never had before. I got to know myself from a different perspective which is the core element for growth. I think everyone should give this a go! :)"

"I really enjoyed this experience, it was very fun to try and get nude photos of myself without any one in public seeing me! Unfortunately as I was taking pictures in the pool some poor old man walked in to use the sauna, I'm still not too sure if he realised I was completely naked in that pool and obviously I couldn't get out until he was gone! Poor soul :)"

"Finally a warm day here so I decided to have a picnic out in the open air. It was so relaxing and peaceful being away from the city with all of its buildings and people and noise. All I could hear were the trees as the wind blew and the water running down the creek nearby. I felt so carefree as I undressed; unclipping my bra and sliding off my panties. There are so many restrictions on what we can wear/say/do placed on us by society that we feel pressure to conform to, so it felt so satisfying to be able to lay there completely naked in the sun and let everything else melt away."

"I fell into I Shot Myself completely by accident. After learning more about the project I thought that it could actually be loads of fun and boy oh boy it sure was. I wanted to have a theme close to my heart and I adore growing things. My veggie garden is one of my pride and joys (as is being outside) and I really enjoyed incorporating it into my shoot. Another love in my life is my dear mutt, and I couldn't resist taking a few snaps with him. I've already recommended it to all of my friends because I found it to be a really positive and liberating experience."

"Being out in the open air whilst my friend did shibari on me was hilarious, we felt a bit naughty and were constantly keeping an eye out for passers by. We couldn"t stop laughing as a few older men tried to hover and peek over at us. We even spotted someone watching us on the top of the hill across from us as I was tied to the tree and had a couple start a full on picnic next to us by the river! The experience of being tied up outside fulfilled some part of a fantasy that I had and was really quite arousing."

"This series of pictures are actually coming out of a rush. I was busy with my school and moving into a new apartment this week, all the stuff is taking over all my time and gave me a lot of pressure. I was really worried that I can't enjoy my photo shooting for ISM, but once I started to do it everything goes smoothly and even gets me out of my mood. I lived in my friend's apartment when I took these pictures, so I can't really do anything for the background and environment setting ups that makes me worry the pictures are not good enough. Meanwhile it pushed me to focus on the space and shapes between my body parts, so I think some of the pictures actually came out very well."

"My second I Shot Myself shoot was at the beautiful beach along Port Philip Bay. It was the middle of winter but probably the only nice winter day Melbourne had this year. It was a little slice of heaven taking my clothes off on a cliff face, the water behind me, watching for dogs and people constantly. The chance of getting caught just made it even better! I think I took better photos knowing I was naked in such a beautiful natural environment, I felt so at home. I did get a few twig scratches and a fair bit of sand in my bum but that was so worth it for the most beautiful morning and a reminder of how natural nudity is and should be."
