"Was a bit hard finding the right spot in my house where to do the photos, cause I live with 10 people in a big share house and there's always someone around. Finally found the spot, the right light and decided to use some coconut oil to get that shiny look in my skin to be able to play around with the reflection of the light in it. Turns out that coconut oil does get everywhere, so everything ended covered in it being a bit slippery and hard to hold the camera. Fue un poco dificil encontrar la luz correcta en mi casa y el lugar comodo donde hacer las fotos, vivo con diez personas en una casa compartida, y siempre hay gente alrededor a toda hora del dia. Finalmente encontre el lugar, la luz y decide usar aceite de coco para lograr ese brillo en la piel y jugar un poco con el reflejo de la luz en el aceite y en la piel. Resulta que el aceite de coco llega a todos lados, asi que todo, incluyendo la camara, termino cubierto de aceite y siendo bien resbaladizo, dificil de sostener la camara con las manos!"

"For me, I knew I wanted my shoot to be outdoors, I'm always so much more comfortable outdoors. I ended up doing my shoot in the old chook shed at my old house. The worst part about the location I chose was the mosquito frenzy that we have happening at the moment! I wanted to work on showing every part of my body and not just the parts I'm not afraid of."

"This folio was about visually exploring our bodies for the first time. It's a unique experience to not only witness the body of your lover from your own perspective, but also from the perspective of 'the other' - a subject removed from both of our subjective standpoints. The external gaze was facilitated by use of the mirror and camera. We shot ourselves in the bedroom at midday. We learned what it meant to hold each other in the ways that we liked with a new spatial awareness of our physicality."

"Au depart cela etait vraiment bizarre, Je savais que j etais entrain de faire des photos nues de moi pour in site... mais plus je me prenais en phot, plus je trouvais cela marrant, j ai commence a prendre des poses weird, genre je suis une star du cinema et evidemment je me cassais la gueule, car je n en suis pas une! La photo avec le donuts fut egalement un tres beau moment essayez d'enlever du sucre tout collant sur votre chatte / At first it was really bizarre, I was very aware that I was doing naked pictures of myself for a site ... but the more I photographed, the more I found it funny. I began to do weird poses, acting kinda like I'm a movie star and obviously I broke into a smile, because I'm not one! The photo with the donuts was also a very beautiful moment with trying to remove sugar all sticky on my pussy"

"There is something relaxing about being in nature, relaxing enough for you to want to get your clothes off and be free! It's important to take the time to get out of the city and get naked! This park was busier than I had expected and I nearly bumped into a group of people of bikes, which made it all the more exciting."

"I found that there was so much I didn't know about my body! I love it more for getting past face values and seeing myself from so many angles, so multi-faceted. I loved having the sun shine on my naked skin...what a feeling! And being creative with angles and reflections. I felt that this was going to be easy for me but actually found it challenging to face and love many things. It's been a great learning experience, Thank You!"

It's been a while since we last saw lady hedda so it's with extra special pleasure that we present her reload to you all. Taking full advantage of the hands free photo option, we can delight in her alabaster skin as she lolls around on her bed, looking gorgeous as ever. With her special knack for displaying a quality that is both fierce and delicate at the same time, hedda's return to ISM is a very welcome one indeed.

"I am an artist and adore painting, so I really wanted to incorporate that into my shoot. I had a set of body paints because I do the odd bit of body painting for fun, so decided to cover myself in some pretty flowers! When it comes to painting, whether it be oils or watercolours or even painting on the skin, I find it all very therapeutic and fun. (Also, body paint is fun to put on, not so great to take off! teehee.)"

"I had the best day doing "I shot myself". I felt like a child going on an adventure. Picking the props that I wanted to use was half the fun. I packed my bag, and drove out of town, to explore some Victorian bush. I drove down many dirt roads, and walked until I found the spot that felt right. I got my kit off fairly quickly, but it did take a little time for me to relax fully, and trust that I was completely alone. I stayed out for hours, relishing in being naked and free in the bush. The act was all for me. Having fun, and feeling good about myself. As a female, I grew up being told to cover myself up, to not wander off alone, to always be safe. It used to infuriate me that boys were allowed to take their shirts off, but as a female, I had to keep mine on. As a way to take that power back, I hike alone all the time, and usually it involves my getting nude. It makes me feel brave, strong, and capable. That's why I wanted to do the shoot out hiking somewhere. The only battle on this occasion was getting bitten by numerous mosquitoes, and having to swat flies away from my womanly bits (you may see a photo or two with a fly perched on my labia)."

"I'm pretty lucky to live in a fairly secluded area with the creek in the back garden and the beach over the road. To begin with I tried to take a few snaps on the picnic table with the river in the background. I quickly realised how difficult it is to take flattering and interesting nude selfies. I also forgot that early summer mosquitoes always like to hang out with me down there, especially when I take all my clothes off. So I ran inside to try and find another interesting location and discovered my house mates had finished setting up our new pool table. So I hopped on and played around for a while. One of my pals came by and popped the 8 ball in between my legs without even asking what I was doing. After that I decided the only way to capture new angles was by using a mirror. I managed to find one that I could carry about with me in the spare room. I used it in the garden for a while, before heading to the beach. Fortunately it had stopped raining for a few hours and the only people to be seen were a few fisherman at the other end. They were probably close enough to have a good view, but I figured they probably wouldn't mind seeing a naked girl wriggling around in the sand, taking pictures of herself. I had started to get a bit more comfortable with using the mirror, so the shots got a little more unusual. Last of all I took a few snaps near the caves and rocks at the end of the beach. Put my clothes back on, waved goodbye to the fishermen and walked home. It was a great experience and left me feeling happy all day. I would definitely encourage all women to have a go."

"T'was my first folio and first time being nude on camera or anywhere other than the bath or the bedroom. But I honestly loved every second of it and I had a lot of ideas I didn't get a chance to do. I had a beautiful backyard in the hill with heaps of awesome flowers in spring time, my boyfriend was really helpful with ideas and cleaning mirrors, grabbing items and props for me which was lovely. The downside of being naked outside is sticks and dirt in your bum. Not a fun time at all. I tried to stay with things that I love and capture my personality, so that includes nature, tartan skirts, bugs, lace but also couple of more experimental things that weren't really myself. I hope to do it again and get a bit more artsy with it I have so many ideas. But it was way easier than I thought and I gained so much confidence from looking at the photos."

"I found my shoot very daring when I did it outside, but that was the fun of it. Luckily no one walked past so no one saw me naked. One thing I found difficult was trying to find new angles when they have to all be taken yourself, but I managed in the end."

"Being outside at night time in the Australian forest was so magical and mysterious. To make it even better there was a storm going on so the thunder rocked us and the lightening flashed through the trees. It was so magnificent and powerful. It made me feel so empowered and at home in nature. I loved playing around with the lighting and the retro theme added to it. This was my favourite shoot as I was truly in amongst the wild and lounging around on a couch; my heaven!"

"I found the number of photos I needed to take challenging. When I've done something like this in the past it's been with friends and I prefer that, the antics flow easier when you're playing with others. I guess that would make me as much as a voyeur as subject. I love the concept of the shoot and the excuse to run around my friend's houses and lanes naked. I think we need to normalize nudity, we need to take the shock and elitism out of it, after all it's the most natural thing in the world. I'm really happy to be a part of a culture of appreciation of nudity and sensuality. I think we need to take sex outdoors, we need to create healthy conversation around it."
