New Releases

"My shoot was quite simple; I was just having fun around my apartment, which has great natural lighting during the day. I really wanted to do my shoot at a gym but I didn't have a private space to use. I felt very comfortable doing the shoot because I spend a lot of time naked at home anyway! After the first 50 photos or so I started running out of ideas for photos so I just began taking lots of silly shots and holding up different household objects. I had a lot of fun with it especially after I stopped posing and just starting going with the flow. I started feeling less and less self-conscious about how my curves and fat rolls looked as I took more photos. This experience honestly made me feel even more comfortable with my naked body."

"The shoot itself was a growing experience and I was able to develop ideas in which to showcase my body which had never been something I had never done before. I took inspiration from the tattoos I had intended to get and therefore took to painting my body to reflect the beauty of my it leading to the array of flowers that I chose to paint on my chest. The idea in practice was more difficult than I had anticipated which lead to my boyfriend having to paint most of the flowers which was awkward in my body positioning for it that made for an enjoyable experience."

"I really enjoyed doing this shoot, I took it in the forest because it is where I'm most comfortable with myself and feel more at peace than any other time. Since it rained a lot out there the past few days there were a lot of leeches, I wish I'd taken photos of them, at one point I had 6 of them on me! It was definitely a bit weird at first but I don't think I mind them so much after that experience. At the start I was quite nervous as I've never been too comfortable with my own body, but after a while I began to really enjoy it, and I couldn't get enough of it."

"This is the second shoot that I have done for I Shot Myself. The theme for this one was supposed to be a commentary on my life at the moment, being two different people and how they relate to each other. The normal version of myself can be pretty reserved and lacking in confidence, but the work version of myself is better at taking risks and not holding back! I tried to go from being myself, without make up, without tan, without clothes, to the work version that tries to depict a fantasy and play on what people can believe is sexy or flirty. Space-wise, I still had to use my apartment, because it was difficult finding an outside area that I could be alone in, but also warm! Winter, right? What a killer. I actually found this one a bit harder to do. Filming it at the same time made me a little bit more self conscious and I started looking at the way my body looked from different angles, a lot more. Altogether though, it was still fun, and I'm pretty happy with the way it all turned out!"

"I like to have boundaries, so I can cross them. Do my pictures creep you out? I've been taking naked photos of myself for years and it doesn't really thrill me any more so for this I decided I'd amp it up a bit. I quite like my vagina and I've always wanted to see what it really looks like so I borrowed some things from a friend who's into BDSM, and here's what I did. Like it, hate it, I don't care, who are you to judge?"

"Ma premiere fois etait pour un calendrier moto sexy de noel, les photos etaient tres belle, je recommencerais sans probleme et avec plaisir! J`aime quand les gens aime mes photos, cela me fais prendre un peu confiance et c`est gratifiant. / The first time I ever did a shoot was for a sexy Christmas bike calendar, the photos were very beautiful. I would do this again without any problem and with pleasure! I like when people like my photos, it makes me take a little confidence and it is rewarding."

"The shoot went really well, I had a lot of fun. I have never taken photos like this before. It is interesting to be able to manipulate the image, light, poses and everything else around yourself. At first I was unsatisfied with my photos, but after a few shots I realized it is the issues I have with my body showing up rather than my body's apparent issues itself."

"I took this in the comfort of my own home using minimalism as my main theme so there were no distractions around the images. I was nervous at first as I have never done anything like this before. But as I got to take the photos and bend my body, wrapping around the lens, I felt more free and sexy towards the end of my shoot. Using plants and white in the background as an element of life and growth in relation to the human body. I explored different lighting around areas of my house using mirrors to capture my reflection and enhance certain areas of my mid body; breasts, piercings and my bum. I have small breasts so I used them as a main attraction of my folio as it helped me gain more confidence in them the more photos I took. My bum is awesome, I love it! I wish I took more photos of it but it's hard when doing ISM by yourself. This shoot made me feel alive and sexier than ever, thank you ISM for letting me do this <3 :)"

"It was very exciting to finally do another photo shoot for I Shot Myself. It was a fun experience playing dress up and getting to showcase my 7 1/2 months pregnant belly as it's growing quite fast and to capture this time was quite special for me. It was a little difficult shooting again because the baby doesn't allow me quite the same flexibility I'm used to (that is shown in other shoots) but hopefully the photos do it justice. It is a fun project to be a part of as it allows for creativity and allows me to express a different side to nude photography and sexuality. I look forward to doing another shoot post-baby to showcase how the human body changes over time."

"With this shoot I felt a bit more relaxed and comfortable than the last one. I played around with a lot of different angles this time around, and I spent the majority of the time in the tub. Baths are amazing. I really enjoyed playing around with the bubbles, I got to be a little coy and flirty with my shoot. My favourite photos were with the mirror in the water, and how I got the reflection of my body underwater. I chose to do my shoot in the tub, because I really wanted to reflect one of my favourite things, which is taking long baths in the middle of the day. I absolutely loved it!"

"I like being creative and therefore I had a lot of fun when I did my shoot. I usually do many shots of myself so I am used to it. I like to give myself attention!"

"I really loved shooting on this spring day as it was slightly overcast so the shadows were perfect. I was in my friend's garden, it is the most beautiful garden I have been in since I was a child. It is a lovely time of year when it is starting to warm up but there is still a bit of chill in the air. I really enjoy shooting myself and I think I'm starting to open up more to the camera as this is my fourth folio so far."

"At first I struggled a bit and felt awkward but after the first few shots I started really enjoying myself and experimenting with different camera angles. Being outdoors meant I could really show myself being connected to nature in my natural form and I loved being a part of this project. Although I got a few ant bites on my bum it still looked cute and I got some great shots."

"The photo shoot was a powerful, liberating and fun experience. I took myself into the forest down by the river. It was kind of hidden other than a few dog walkers and cyclists. A few spied me frolicking in the mud. Initially I was nervous and self-conscious of being naked and taking the photos especially at the thought of people seeing me, but after the first few shots I relaxed and started having so much fun. It felt so good being naked in nature, like a Amazonian warrior - completely natural, breathing and connected with the beautiful earth. My worried self-conscious mind that had been formed through media melted away. I felt grounded, free and completely liberated. It was an amazing experience and I say to fellow women to give it a shot. Be proud of your beautiful body!!"

"My room is my sanctuary. I only have enough money to rent myself one small room in a little apartment. I love the afternoon sun, the view from my window, the art I've chosen to hang and the immediate sense of comfort I feel when I shut the door behind me. I wanted to use the I Shot Myself project to help me express the sensuality that I've withheld since I lost confidence in my body. Strangely enough, as soon as I took my clothes off and put the camera in front of myself I felt sexy again. I enjoyed trying to incorporate my style into my shoot without using my clothing style as my only outlet. Using the sunlight that entrances me daily to highlight beautiful parts of my body and exposing my vagina (which I usually strive to hide) was the best. I had so much fun and I can't wait to be naked again!"
