New Releases

"I really enjoyed doing this shoot because it actually increased the intimacy of everyone in the house. We decided to just be naked and not mind if anyone was around which really normalised nudity and made everyone much more comfortable with each other. When we showed our housemates the photos it was great that we were able to show all our photos including the most personal images of our vaginas. It was nice to feel so completely comfortable with every aspect of our bodies."

"I had quite a few ideas about the shoot and what I was going to do. I took off all of my clothes, propped up a mirror on the bed and went for it. I took a couple in my boyfriend's bedroom and then moved out into the backyard and used up the whole space. I put the mirror in a tree, I sat in the old, rotting red car seats, and found a plastic red rose to put in my hair. I sat in a bath which was in the backyard too. I felt so free walking around naked, inspecting the space, thinking of all the ways to use it. It was so much fun. Initially I felt a bit awkward and silly, but as time went by it felt more and more natural. Looking back at the photos made me so happy. I could see for myself how beautiful I am, because I felt beautiful, and I think the camera and the mirror brought that out of me."

"I did this shoot because for a very long time I struggled with my sexuality & body positivity. I have always been a very confident person but always harboured a quiet inner self consciousness about the way I look. I was the "ugly" weirdo in school and being told you are weird/ugly every day unfortunately rubs off on you. This shoot is a FUCK YOU to anyone who didn't see me for the beautiful, unique person I am. This is me letting go, showing all of who I am and accepting my own self love. I am powerful, independent, free and I love my body!!!"

"I got caught! I was mid semi-nudie run through the house, covered in paint head to toe when my prudish male housemate, who is a heavy gamer (into the war and shooting games) walked out of his bedroom blazed and got one hell of a fright when he saw me covered in "blood" (paint haha). "I think I just peed a little" was his reaction when he caught sight of me. That was a surprise for us both and hilarious! I really enjoyed participating in this project, it challenged and inspired me as well as pushing me to really accept and look at my own body. I think it's a fantastic way to encourage women to grow and actually be true to themselves. I love seeing people express themselves creatively, especially when its so raw and natural, I find it beautiful, interesting and surprising. I love the female form and art."

"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."

"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."
