New Releases

"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."

"I had a great time doing I Shot Myself. I would do it again and again! Since I have no lights in my house pretty much I found it hard to get the lighting right, but once I figured that out the rest is history. I think everyone should have a go at this, I think it helps people get over their insecurities and it is just have a bit of fun! I love how positive everyone is here and the people have a great chill vibe. Would definitely recommend this to my mates! I wish I had a car so I could've found a rad location, but that's probably the only thing I regret about it!"

"I wanted to do an outside shoot, so I found a secluded spot near the beach, amongst nature. I was a bit wary of dog walkers and passers by, but once the sun came out and I stripped off, I felt really comfortable in my own skin. It was an invigorating feeling, and really warming to be out there, amongst wild rabbits and birds. I would definitely love to do more outdoors shoots in the future. And with my money shots, it was a spontaneous and fun shoot for me. I felt a bit sassy getting naked and playing with wads of cash, and using a dark backdrop with plenty of natural light really brought out my shots in a great light! It was a fun and flirty shoot, and I'll just have to keep on collecting the cash to make it a much bigger shoot next time!"

"I started off by having a hot soak in an oily bath, put on a robe, my favourite underwear and some sensual music. At first I felt slightly nervous although it was only me and my camera, but a couple of photos in I started to get into it, the clothes came off and I played around with mirrors to really get to know myself. Even the kitten kept trying to get in the shoot, she didn't want to miss out. I've always been body confident (no matter what size) although taking pictures of myself made me feel even better about the way I look. I think everyone should take the time to look at themselves naked for 10 minutes a day at least, it does wonders."

"I wanted to shoot this with the sun rising, but every time I was awake early enough the sunrise was a non-event. On the morning I did shoot this, it was not very good either but it was the best I had in a while to work with. I am not really a morning person, but despite the gloomy day, I woke up feeling naughty, so I shot this and stayed in bed all day!"

"I was really nervous at first because I have never really been so naked and taken photos of myself before (except those cheeky few nudies I sent to my ex, you're welcome mate). But as the shoot went on I got more and more comfortable in my skin and started to do some "weird" poses and experimenting with putting the camera right between my legs. I started smiling more and I really enjoyed it."

"My shoot is based around literature and inspired by my love for experiencing other worlds/realms and perspectives. For this shoot, I set up in my own loungeroom, scattered all of my books on the ground and photographed myself amongst them, occasionally using a mirror. I enjoyed this shoot thoroughly!"

"I want to think of myself as a powerful creature. In this shoot, I tried to demonstrate command over my own body as well as command over the viewer's experience. I loved the physicality of this shoot and it was liberating having ALL the creative control. Here I am and all my badass, bare-ass self. Don't mess with me."

"My idea for the theme of the shoot evolved over the course of a couple of days. You can feel spring in the air but winter is still very much here. That was where I got the idea to contrast the different locations. The different weather and feel of each location also adds to the contrast. I think you can really feel the different atmosphere of each setting."

"I enjoyed doing this shoot, I felt comfortable and sexy just being natural. I've done a lot of modelling and have been published in magazines in the past. It's all about make up and hair, being "beautiful", so to do this completely natural and photoshop-free makes me feel like I can be sexy without all the make up, fake hair, lighting, expensive cameras and editing."

"I really enjoyed taking these photos. At first I felt a little awkward - I'm comfortable being naked, even naked in front of a camera but taking the photos myself while trying to pose naked felt super strange and weird. I quickly got used to it though and after my first few photos I was having a lot of fun. It was a great feeling shooting myself and having total control over how the shot looked. I realised how used to having someone direct me during photoshoots I was. Having all control was a whole new experience I really enjoyed having so much freedom. I found myself searching for props and new creative angles to make the shoot more fun and interesting. When I came across a bag of sprinkles I knew I'd struck gold. I had a lot of fun taking these photos even when my housemate and his date came home and busted me naked in the backyard with sprinkles all over me - eeeek!"

"We had a lot of fun with this shoot! We definitely wanted there to be no sexual content, just because we are a cuddly couple over a sexual couple. This doesn’t mean we aren’t intimate, because we definitely are. Intimacy doesn’t mean sex. For this shoot, we were staying with some friends while we were looking for a place, and were petrified each time they walked past. We can just imagine them barging through the door and not knowing what the heck was going on!"
