"I had fun shooting this, although I found it hard to get the exact angles I wanted but I reckon they turned out well anyways! The biggest problem throughout the shoot was my cat trying to join in, for some reason she really likes it when I get naked and all she wants to do is cuddle me. Also, getting the right lighting is an absolute bastard!"

"This is the second shoot that I have done for I Shot Myself. Spacewise, 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 concious 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 SHOT MYSELF. What an experience it was! On the rainy spring day I decided to get naked and put myself out there. From the first photo to the last, I noticed a big change in my confidence. I loved rolling around in the wet grass, but trying to keep the camera dry was definitely a challenge. My house mate was also doing her nude shoot so it was funny bumping into her around the house naked. Safe to say I can't wait to do another shoot on a sunny day. There is so much more I want to do and I look forward to seeing what I can come up with!"

"I wanted my folio to be about ridiculous indulgence in an everyday location. I wanted to be very pretentious with it and enjoyed myself thoroughly. My cat Zoidberg had a horrible time. In one of his half-hearted escape attempts he scratched me on my left hip, which I’m sure will add some extra class to the shoot. Also, I shot myself during a dry month, so despite posing with bottles of Pavan and martini glasses, I’m really just drinking elderflower and lingonberry cordials from Ikea."

"I think there is a lot of stigma behind darkness, and that beauty is often seen to go hand in hand with with light. I peacefully disagree with both of these ideals. The aim of my shoot is to bring beauty and darkness together without diminishing either... and I love the beach!"

"In I shot myself, I realized that it was hard to get a good pose, maybe because I have a lack of experience in modelling or I'm just not good at taking selfies. But now I can admit after I've done 150 photos, I felt proud of myself with all of my efforts to get good light or poses, also now I know it is so hard to be a model you must have to know your body well!"

The golden goddess none of us deserve returns with an impressive display of her ability to seamlessly blend art and smut, this time in celebration of one of her self-professed favourite appendages. Looking resplendent in stocking and a rosary, it would seem that Holly Wood has once again absconded with our hearts (and possibly souls) and we're intensely and immensely okay with that.

"The photo shoot was interesting to say the least. I first had to inform my land manager I would be in the garden taking naked selfies so he wouldn't catch me in the act! Then I had to figure out places and angles which was harder than I thought it would be. I almost fell off the chairs I was balancing myself on. I get pretty bad allergic reactions too so I got a few rashes from the grass or the bugs within...not too sure! But it was a good time regardless!"

"In this shoot I try to create a post-apocalyptic, eerie vibe. The weather has been very harsh recently and it makes me sick and creates a sombre mood. I channelled my inner cyborg freak to create creepy and slightly alien-inspired images. They're inspired by winter blues, and aesthetically pleasing 90s sci-fi movies. The contrast of the female body against industrial backgrounds and grey skies is very inspiring for me as a woman and artist. The vulnerability of humans to nature, and our subjugation of the environment is a major influence of this shoot. I decided to photograph my body as a living organ, immersed in artificial and natural, decaying elements."

"Walking through a park in nothing but a trench coat was definitely a first for me! At first I felt vulnerable, then I took off the coat and I realized how much fun it was to be naked in public, in daylight! Hanging from the trees naked allowed me laugh at myself in a completely different way. The whole experience was awesome and I'd love to do it again!"

"To me, the female body is one of the most beautiful and powerful things in existence. Too often it's regarded as a source of embarrassment or shame for women, and that's not the way it should be. Our bodies are incredible things and we need to celebrate this! Maybe if everyone walked around nude taking photos of themselves our world would be a much more open and positive place body-wise. Nothing to wear? No worries - being naked is way more beautiful than any new dress or expensive top. In my opinion anyway :P I hope that one day every single woman feels at home in her body and is confident enough to flaunt it in all its glory."

"I was a bit limited for locations to shoot in because I have a housemate who is far more conservative then me! So a lot was in my room and bathroom. I mostly shot with items that I like. My teddies, they are 10 years old. The collar I am wearing I found at a garage sale for $3, I've had a lot of good times wearing that collar! The shoot definitely made me feel more "normal" knowing that so many other people are looking for that sexual creativity outlet and I Shot Myself gives you that opportunity. We are all sexual beings, why do we have to hide it?"

"That was such a spectacular hour and it went so much quicker than I thought it would. We somehow managed to avoid being seen by about 10 people walking past. This has been so wonderful, I honestly can't recommend doing this enough, it's been the most beautiful experience for me. I've had a lot of issues with my body in the past and I'm really trying to get beyond that, and things like this make it all feel worth it. Getting to a point where I feel comfortable doing this is so special."

"The creativity allowed for our folios is pretty exciting! I would love to do another shoot at some point as I unfortunately ran out of time for the project and had to rush the shoot, much more than I would have liked to. I decided to base I Shot Myself around my daily routine of getting up and getting ready. I'd like to thank my house mate for his assistance (We'll call him "Chuck") for letting me use his bathroom for the shoot."

"I'd picked up a mirror with Jesus in the middle of it from an Opshop the day before - I had no clue that I would later be using it to shoot myself in! Taking the photos in that mirror definitely made me laugh and loosened me up to take some other different photos."
