"I have taken only a few selfies in my life and hate getting my photo taken. Needless to say, this shoot was a bit more challenging for me. Once I got the hang of what my face or body looked like in certain light and positions I was able to have a tonne of fun and feel comfortable. I am very glad to have taken these photos during this time in my life. Photos represent a specific time period in life and at this time while I am traveling, I would like to remember this as the time I was most independent, strong and empowered. These photos represent that in many ways and encourage me to always remember that."

"Ce folio a été pris lors de mon voyage à Barcelone. C'était bien de pouvoir filmer dans ce magnifique bâtiment des années trente, la lumière était exceptionnelle et pour être nu sous 32 degrés c'était tout ce que je voulais. J'ai aussi pris des photos à Montjuic, dans un parc, c'était amusant d'essayer de prendre une photo sans que personne ne me voie. Mission à moitié réussie! / This folio is from my beautiful trip in Barcelona. It was awesome to shoot in this beautiful flat from the 30's, the light was amazing and being naked when its 32 degrees is all you want. I also took some photos in a public park, that was a lot of fun to try to take pictures without anyone to look at me. Like a little mission."

"After initially feeling a little weird about doing the shoot, I started feeling more comfortable and really enjoying it! I wanted to my shoot completely outside in my parent's huge garden, but ended up getting sprung by the neighbours and eaten by mozzies, so I shot the rest of my photos in lovely afternoon sunshine in my bedroom. It was actually more difficult than I thought it would be, and I feel like with more practice I could be a lot more creative. All in all I definitely loved the experience and how it made me feel!"

It goes without saying that Mae_E is a true professional when it comes to taking photos of herself, so it should come as no surprise at all that she is able to take a simple string of fairy lights and produce a reload that is so sublime that mere words can't properly describe the majesty of it, you just have to see it for yourself. Now, let us all bask in Mae_E's warm glowing warming glow.

"J'ai fait ce shoot dans la maison d'amis de ma famille donc a chaque bruit je sursautais, croyant que quelqu'un entrait. Ils sont tres religieux donc je n'imagine pas leur reaction! J'etais mal a l'aise avec mon corps au debut, comment faire de belles photos avec un corps moche? Mais l'artiste en moi a repris le dessus et j'ai commence a jouer avec ce corps qui etait un Étranger pour moi. Je suis heureuse du resultat et j'ai passe un super moment! / I did this shoot in the house of friends of my family so every noise I jumped, believing that someone was coming in. They are very religious so I can not imagine their reaction! I was uncomfortable with my body at first, but the artist in me took over and I started playing with this body that was a stranger to me. I'm happy with the result and I had a great time!"

"When I woke up and decided to do the shoot it was a beautiful sunny day, I thought, this is a great day to do it in my backyard. I have my very handsome dog who I regard as my son and really wanted him to be part of it. I had a bag of glitter and thought this could be so much fun. So off I went. I borrowed my flatmate's full length mirror and just began to really have some fun and enjoy myself in the sun with my dog in the garden and some glitter. Life is more fun with sparkle! It was such a great day I felt strong and proud of myself xx"

"I had limited options as to where to shoot so ended up in the Botanical Garden, in the rain, at 6am, with my boyfriend on lookout duty with him throwing a towel at me anytime a dog walker or jogger came too close! Thankfully a friends's friend (whom I had never met) came through and was able to provide a location in his awesome converted warehouse.. so that is where I completed my portfolio - in a strangers converted warehouse. Thanks Sebastian, you rock!"

"I think it was nice to watch myself move - with a less critical eye than the one that follows my body in a mirror. I loved this experience, as I've loved all I've had with ISM."

"I wasn't sure at first what to do with my shoot, I stripped down at the beach one afternoon but it didn't feel right. I didn't feel comfortable in that environment. I won't lie, I'm not the type to wander outdoors and enjoy the sun. I like my little minimalist bubble of neutral colours and sharp lighting. I decided to do the shoot in my room and used a small beauty mirror to help with getting different angles and exploring what I've decided to call the split between lucidity and delirium. I played my 94' Chris Isaak album in the background and just basked in the natural light in my room. I felt so beautiful and fresh just laying around and posing. I saw my body from different angles which was a nice surprise to realise I am not as flawed as I thought I was. I had so much fun with this and feel as though I'm beginning to look at myself in a cleaner, positive light."

"I shot myself mostly at my partner's place. I thought that the door lock didn't work, so I had to be really careful in case my partner walked in. Of course, he knew that I was shooting myself naked and didn't mind it, rather encouraged me to do it (because he knows that I am so shy), he tried not to disturb me by studying in the living room. Then a few minutes later, the door smashed open and his housemate walked in to look for a pencil! Standing in front of the mirror and holding a camera, I thought I looked pathetic! His housemate was freaking out and he shouted sorry as he was shutting the door. I burst into tears and cried for an hour while my partner tried so hard to make me feel better. That night, my partner warned his housemate, "be careful, because she might taunt you with the pencil forever."

The Dutch darling we've come to know and love Brings It again with a folio that has all the trademarks of another perfect Flur shoot. Her brilliant sense of humour and knack for picking amazing locations and props are all present, and the charisma she exhibits is just positively oozing from every wonderful image she has gifted us.

"I didn't feel good about myself this day but it was the only time I had to take photos. As soon as I started I felt better! It's so important to show yourself some love and find time to appreciate your body. I felt sexy and proud and really confident after. I even looked at my apartment differently and found small quirks. Like how the light shines through my blinds, when I see it now I giggle and think damn that light made my body look good, it's like a little secret."

"After my first ISM shoot that was mainly indoors, it was time to venture outside...I made the most of a peek of Melbourne sun to get some photos and experiment with shadows, which I thought alluded to the hidden, shadowy elements of a woman's body and identity. This was in juxtapostion to the open and honest nature of my naked body. I shot over a few days so I also got the soft light of a grey cloudy day. It was oddly comforting being outside and shooting myself as it drizzled, when usually I would be snuggled up inside listening to the rain. I was outside and experiencing the weather while at the same time experiencing my body. I did a mixture of clothed, partially clothed and naked images in this shoot, and actually felt most comfortable when I was fully naked. I'm getting the hang of this ISM thing! And I'm loving it!"

"So this is me. I am kinky and sexual and more than happy with myself. My skin is mine, I don't care if people don't like it or are offended by my short top or tattoos. I have worked hard on being happy with my body and my sexuality. I was one of those girls that would hide when she was spoken to, I would never wear a sexy dress or low cut top because I felt like I wasn't good enough for it. Then one day I said "to hell with it" and I took myself out of my comfort zone. I got that sexy dress and wore it well. I found out then it's all in your head and now I do what I want for me. I love my own body and think every woman should! If my shoot helps one woman to see that the little scar on their tummy is just as beautiful and sexy as the rest of them then I am even more happy I did this."

"I shot this at a nude beach on Fire Island, NY, USA. Unsurprisingly, I was the youngest person there, so I think people were curious as to what exactly I was doing there. I had already really wanted to go to the beach, and I figured if I went to a nude beach it would be a good opportunity to shoot. This was also my very first time at a nude beach. I burn really easily, so I applied SPF 100 sunblock before I shot this. However, you can tell in the photos that the sun had already gotten to me on my walk over to the beach, so I've got a slight tan on my chest in the pictures. Shooting this was a bit tricky, because the water would occasionally suddenly come up really far, and at one point prior to shooting, everything I had laid out (my tote bag, clothes, towels) got completely soaked. So I had to be aware of the water at all times so that my tripod and camera wouldn't get destroyed. It was also a bit tricky making sure that sand didn't get in the camera, since wind kept blowing it upwards and because I was obviously covered all over in sand. I also had to wait for people to finish walking by so that I could continue taking pictures. Luckily the water was super cold, so no one went frolicking in the water behind me."
