New Releases

"Ishotmyself was super fun and exciting. Initially the photos were only in my room, though as I relaxed and enjoyed the moment I became more adventurous with poses and places, using flexibility to my advantage. I decided to run a bubble bath and found a love for shoots in the water - so sensual. So I waited until later hours and took to the pool, sauna and gym! It kept me on my toes as anyone could walk in at any moment. So exciting I couldn't help touching myself after. I left feeling more confident and liberated; truly a great experience and I would do it again anytime."

"It was different using both a video camera and a normal camera, some moments I almost forgot to grab the video camera or reposition it and i couldnt see until the end of my shoot what the viedo camera had caught. This made it more exciting."

"Non sarebbe stata la prima volta che mi fotografavo nuda, ma questa volta non sapevo chi poi mi avrebbe visto. Ma mi sono detta, proviamo, sara' divertente. E lo e' stato. Andando in giro per casa, in una giornata come in altra ho riempito I miei tempi morti facendo questo shoot. Tutto cio' che ho trovato in casa e che faceva parte della mia quotidianita' e' entrato a far parte di queste foto. E devo dire che sono venute molto bene! This wasn't the first time I took photo of me naked, but this time is the first that I didn't know who was going to see them. But I just thought, let's try, could be fun. And it was. Wandering around the house, in a ordinary day, I filled my free time doing this shoot. Everything I found at home and that was part of my everyday life entered this photos. And I can say, they come out pretty well!"

When it's a hot and sunny day there's few things better than busting out the wading pool and relaxing in its cool depths. With pretty droplets rolling down her glorious skin and the sun bouncing off her hair, it's times like this that we're all very pleased and lucky that Cleo_V is such a self-proclaimed fan of being naked.

"I didn't intend to make this a visual commentary on periods although I've found that my favourite photos are those which include blood! As a child when I tried doing ink-blot tests with my friends all I saw in them was vulvas. I was always deeply ashamed of this, and it is only in recent years that I've realised that I'm not a freak; vulvas are just really great! And if I am a freak (a vulva-obsessed freak) so much the better. I'm privileged enough not to get too many cramps so I was able to tumble around and enjoy this shoot, all whilst surfing the crimson wave :)"

"As this was my second shoot, theoretically it should have been a bit easier than the first, however, that was not the case. It was winter this time, and the fading light created a frantic sense of impending doom the entire time. It wasn't until the last rays of light were fading below the horizon that I finally felt a good flow and in the zone. That being said, it was good to end on a confident note, and much like the first shoot, it was an important area of growth to begin uncomfortably and end feeling fresh, fine, sexy and confident."

"I have been waiting for months for the vines in my back yard to bloom. I really wanted to take naked photos amongst them but I didn't know who I could share the images with. This opportunity came along and it was at the perfect moment. My backyard is over looked by the units next to me and so I was running outside taking a couple shots and then running back in hoping no one would see me. Unfortunately at one stage the wind blew my door shut and I was locked outside naked. Luckily a waiter from the café across the road was having a smoke next to my garage door and I had to ask him to jump through my bedroom window and come let me in. He had a big smile across his face the whole time. I went into the cafe later to thank him and he said I now have free Coffee whenever I want. It really was very funny."

When you have eyes as big and blue as swimming pools and a creamy complexion that would make a porcelain doll envious, one has very little need for anything else. Selador's minimalist approach to her folio is stunning in its simplicity and we are a lucky bunch indeed, being awarded the pleasure to bear witness to such magnificence.

"I found out a little about I Shot Myself ages ago, I always wondered what it was really about, as I only had a very vague idea. So finally two weeks ago I did a bit more research and found out how awesome this project is! With minimal hesitation, I took over. Throughout the whole shoot I had some doubts and only saw the imperfect side of my body, however after a fair bit I realised that's just how I really am, with lots of flaws and certainly lots of merits, then I started to embrace the real me, the way I express myself and statements I make via my style, makeup and everything. It is a truly awesome life experience to have! Thanks so much I Shot Myself!"

"I have always been interested in exploring different concepts of sex, nudity and how both empower an individual. Growing up with a conservative family background, I was always taught to cover up but rebelling against all odds really did its justice. Despite doing semi-nude shoots with various photographers before, holding a camera and working on my ishotmyself project was a whole new experience. After feeling nervous through the first couple of photos, I grew more comfortable with my body and shooting from 'explicit' angles made me appreciate everything I had down to every scar I beared. I am now walking around stark naked whenever I get the chance to because I love feeling so liberated! I want to thank ISM for opening me to a world I never thought had existed and letting me be a part of it. One Love x"

"This was my first I Shot Myself experience and I had so much fun doing it! Taking photos of my naked body makes me feel so empowered and sexy. I turned myself on while I was making out with my reflection in the mirror and I love staring into the lens with the look of desire and satisfaction, as if I'm fucking myself or whoever is going to look at the photo. I am currently making a move out of my little hick, set in its square ways town that I grew up in, it's so refreshing. Along side of I Shot Myself it makes me feel like I'm taking over the world! I shot these photos in my little room and made the most of the space. My roommate and his friends were in the other room while things were getting hot and heavy on my side of the door. It made me feel "naughty" knowing that they could hear my camera shutter going off while I was alone in my room. I wonder if they wondered what was going on. I look forward to doing this more and more. :)"

"I loved the idea of filming my shoot, I talk to myself all the time anyway so this way I didnt feel as crazy as I was talking to the camera. I felt really comfortable, the idea of creating a story behind the shoot shows a lot more of who I am, catching all the funny things that happen throughout.. like having a tampon on my bed that the cat was playing with as we hadn't bought him any toys yet or tradies walking past, I'm butt naked and my blinds are all the way up, these are the kind of memories you want to catch on film."

"The day I shot myself...I never thought I'd be writing those words! It was a classic Melbourne day; sun, cloud, wind, rain, sun again...My partner was working from home that day, so I told her firmly not to come into the bedroom for awhile, or to look at me for that matter! I said she can see all the photos after, but I'd feel like a total klutz if she watched me. In a nutshell, photographing myself didn't come naturally, but the more I clicked the more confident/adventurous I became, and before you know it I'm strutting around my backyard naked, jumping onto bikes, and pulling my dog, Chutney into the frame for a spontaneous selfie! Apologies to the people who live around me - (un)fortunately the best light in our house comes from the window that fronts onto a busy street. #sorrynotsorry"

"One week after moving in with two of the most beautiful people I've ever met, I asked to use one of their balconies, and strolled naked outside into the open air to shoot myself. Mirror facing mirror, I arranged the shoot in a way that reminded me of the bed I used to have back home in Shanghai, where my parents still live. On that bed, I remember lying down at night and looking into the mirror at the foot of the bed, only to see the reflection from the mirror behind me on the headboard, and the reflections just carried on forever. Connecting with that feeling of being home, being comfortable, and being a child again, I fell into the photoshoot easily, and tried to experiment with recreating the eternal reflections. I didn't necessarily feel beautiful or glamorous, but I felt open and confident, connecting with a past me that had grown into the present me who is whole and fragmented at the same time. Excuse the flowery language, my film degree has made me more pretentious than I'd like to be."

"This took place in my room at the southeast wall a little past noon. I was thinking pins, needles and dolls. I think I was listening to Richard Marx. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, just children screaming outside, nothing unusual. But there's something about Richard Marx's songs that makes me want to twist things. I didn't notice until I uploaded the photos onto my laptop that I ended up twisting my hair, legs, body and arms throughout the whole set. I wonder what would happen if I listened to a mad man banging on a piano while taking photos."
