New Releases

"I didn't change anything about myself and I didn't change anything of my surroundings. I took photos of myself as it is and where it was. I then played with the idea of using the body in relation to objects or on its own (still or moving) to see how different it felt and looked. Without the use of a mirror there are just a certain amount of angles that work - it was fun."
"This folio is my attempt to challenge my beliefs about my body. It was hard not to criticize the images I took, however by the end of it I felt that I had a new outlook on myself. I was able to laugh and be silly and be totally comfortable naked - which I haven't done since I was a child. Trying to get creative with the images led to lots of losing balance and dropping the camera on my face. But in the end I did the best with the space I had - and I am super excited and proud that I created a folio like this!"
"It was fun and tremendously liberating! I was slightly embarrassed when a housemate walked in on my rolling in the grass half naked, but we both saw the funny side. I also got some cramps trying to reach the camera with my tootsies ;)"

"Talking to the camera was comforting for myself and my friend who came with me as we were both nervous about entering the prison. I'm so glad my friend joined me as she helped film my shoot and I got some great footage because of her. Unfortunately the battery died a third of the way through so I hope in the future I can do the video again and hopefully have it mastered."
"Doing 'I Shot Myself' was more fun than I had imagined, however it was also harder than I thought as well. Getting to spend some time in the moment was amazing, for once I wasn't worried about work or uni or feeling guilty for not doing something else such as studying or working or cleaning the house. The time I spent doing my shoot was time completely dedicated to me and the lack of anxiety and worry was exhilarating. Painting my body was amazing as I felt the strokes of the brush along my skin I was fully immersed in the moment. It wasn't all fun and games though, let me tell you doing a hand stand on one hand and trying to take a photo with the other is a tough task. I may have fallen on my head once or twice but again I had an amazing time!"

"So I had known about ISM for a little while and was always interested in it. I decided it would be a bit of fun. I got to learn a little bit about my body and how to express it in different angles. I found the shoot harder than I thought it would be. Originally I had loads of ideas of what positions and poses to do but then getting stuck into it I started to get stuck. After a good sleep, fresh ideas popped up and I got a little more creative with props. A lot of thought and time goes into posing for the camera. It was great fun and something I would definitely do again and would encourage girls who also have low body confidence to give it a go."

"I had so much fun with this shoot! What I was aiming for was a natural/rustic feel which I tried to achieve using flowers, nature itself and a barn. Embracing every part of your body can be difficult especially when it's not deemed "sexy" by the majority of society. I definitely hesitated with a couple of poses, but then realised that my body is beautiful and it is sexy, and that I need to embrace what I've got and flaunt it! Whilst I was outside, fully nude, taking photos that would seem pretty compromising to anyone who didn't know what I was doing, I had a sudden realisation that my back fence is in fact not that tall, and that the surrounding neighbours could see my glorious bum and tits waving all around the place."

That exquisite nature loving nymph we all know as Nazz is back and true to form she has gifted us with another superb folio. Greenery paired with incredible porcelain skin generates a feeling of both calm and excitement. May we please roll around in the grass with you some more Nazz?
"I chose to do yoga postures in my shoot because yoga is what has brought me to love my body. I give thanks to my body every day by showing up to my mat and exercising what my body is capable of doing. Balancing upside down, supporting my entire body, twisting in such ways I never dreamed imaginable. Yoga is also what brought me to change my body image and to walk away from my eating disorder. To acknowledge it, to feel it, and then to let it go. I'm smiling in most of my shots because I really am happy when I practice yoga. Any posture, even the ones that I fall out of. Because yoga is a practice, not a sport. It's the union of the mind, body, and soul. I have never shot myself nude and have never felt so confident in my body. I hope my pictures express my confidence in my skin and the empowerment I felt by sharing it."
"Shooting myself in the cemetary made me feel the most alive I have been in months. A cousin passed and with her abundance of vitality it just did not seem right. She was a wild woman who loved when I told her about my first ISM shoot, and this was my way to honour her memory. Shooting in the sun, along trees, kitchen and all angles with mirrors are all things that make me feel sensational and alive. Being chased naked from a cemetary by some angry locals in their sky blue hell wagon was the perfect end to a perfect shoot. I hope you enjoy the way I captured myself in these frames even half as much as I did! XOXO"

"In this folio you will see someone who is confident and loves a bit of a pose. Whilst taking these photos I definitely did get a bit excited myself. If you look closely, you may even see. During this shoot my housemate came home early and caught me! How embarrassing. But being the confident woman I am, I just laughed and continued."
"By the 100th photo I had fully come to terms with the fact that the neighbours were getting a free show through the bedroom window. Hopefully it put them in a good mood."
"I decided to shoot my photos with the sky very prominently featured; I wanted to feel like a bird ready to take flight. Luckily a friend has a rooftop with a view! My day was very simple and started with soft serve ice-cream on the beach. As someone who rehearses by watching themselves in a mirror, I wasn't unused to watching my body and face and noticing what was beautiful. A few photos are deliberately reminiscent of some of my favourite nude portraits by Manet and Gustav Klimt. I hope anyone who views these pictures sees someone who owns themselves and loves themselves unconditionally. I would recommend this practice for anyone wanting to start or continue a process of joyful self-love!"

"Videoing my shoot was super fun as it added this extra element of personality to the whole thing. It was also great practice for me as I am going to start making youtube videos in the near future in a similar style."
Feb 01, 2017 Gaya//"freude"
"Even before my shoot I was so thrilled about it that I was already thinking what kind of pictures I would like to take. Photography is a big creative outlet for me and I always try new things, whether it is props, location or just the style of taking pictures. I knew that I wanted to use a mirror, but when I found a hoola hoop as well I was exploding with ideas. I never shot myself before, let alone in full nude so this alone was a new thing and it turned out to be quite the challenge to portray how you really see yourself. Towards the end of my shoot it started to rain as well, even though I was still full of ideas. But I am happy with my shoot and think I conveyed my ideas about me and my body quite well and this natural ending just means I can have another session for sure :)"
