"This morning I woke up with a desire, so I started taking pictures of myself. I often take pictures of myself because every time I see myself in a photo in a different way it's like being reborn into a new body with different thoughts. It was an interesting experience for me. Since it is not so easy to look at yourself in the same way that the whole world looks at you. Everything is hidden and anonymous here over the internet, so I will never really know how people look at me with their eyes. But when they look at me, I think about how beautiful I am. It's challenging, but at the same time it pushes the limits of my consciousness so much that I want more."

"I work with photographers and direct photoshoots for my career, so it was a completely different experience being on the other side of the camera. I can be quite fussy with framing and lighting etc. I felt really disheartened initially - right as I had everything ready and was about to start shooting, the sky greyed over and started bucketing with rain - ruining my lighting! (I got there in the end though). I love interior design and I'm extremely proud of the styling of my apartment, hopefully you catch glimpses of my art deco and slightly 70's inspired decor. I also truly enjoy being naked, so I'm sure you'll see my uninhibited nature shining through."

"This shoot has stretched my world in quite a few ways! I started as a person who was not very comfy with sending other people shots of myself, yet here I am, doing this shoot. Living in a house full of sexually open people, I have been encouraged to go for it. But it is one thing to talk and then be around the house naked, whilst others randomly walk by and create that funny little moment when my body wants to contract because this is vulnerable - being seen like this. Yet I chose to stay open and even showed my pics to others in the house! I dropped deeper into loving my body than ever and even loving all its curves, ebbs, angles. All the small little nuances that twist it in all sort of shapes and forms. Magnificent! Saw myself through new eyes <3."

"My housemate Jean_B and I took these photos on a rainy day at home, between our lounge room and our back deck. We surrounded ourselves with houseplants and lathered on the mozzie repellent, then proceeded to roll around for several hours, playing in these beautiful white gowns, and then got nude. It was really nice to share this experience, as we've both done plenty of solo shoots before. I felt really comfortable and enjoyed the challenge of fitting two people in the frame. At one point some neighbours came around and I had to dive behind the couch before they saw me through our big front window - they were dropping off some of Jean's mail that had been mistakenly delivered to them. It feels really good to return to Feck work and the perspective it gives me on my body - silly and sexy and playful."

"I took these photos during the first days of my dream come true. I have long dreamed of visiting Asia and I am very glad that I started this journey from Thailand. And here I am, in the city of angels, filled with love and smiles of Thailand. I feel stronger, I feel deeper, because I took great care of myself, did what I dreamed of. These strong changes in my life gave me a great connection with my body and I began to better understand what I want and what is not good at all. For example, many years ago, one of my partners laughed at me because my pussy is hairy. I shaved it for a long time because I thought it was terrible. But that's not true at all. Everything that is natural in this world cannot be ugly. In such things as hair, stretch marks on the body, noses with a hump, fumes from our sexuality, beauty! <3"

"My friend told me about the project, with whom I'd taken pictures with for different projects. Although I'm used to being photographed by professional photographers, I decided to try to take pictures of myself, thanks to my friend's experience with I Shot Myself. I took these at one of my friend's houses, as I am a student and I live with my mother. During the process I was comfortable and calm, I liked the selfies on my phone very much, as it was also a sunny day and good light. As for me, such projects can help women, (regardless of their age and weight), love their body and take pictures of themselves more often. It was cool!"

"I really enjoyed this experience of shooting myself in the nude. I tried to be creative in my pictures by spending the afternoon in my beautiful lush green backyard with my favourite flower - the sunflower! While doing my shoot I was a little shy to begin with but just like the sunflower it opens up on beautiful days like this! I was thinking a lot in the beginning about how my photos were going to turn out but then became quite comfortable very quickly with all my curves and also being outside in the nude - it was very freeing, opening, expressive and felt a little cheeky! Pun intended! Hehe. I felt so beautiful by the end of this shoot!"

"I took these photos in my apartment and at first, I felt a little anxious taking them and second guessing my decision about posting these photos for a lot of strangers to see! But thinking of all the other women who have taken part in this project really helped to encourage me. Also, half the population have boobs and a vagina, what is so different about mine? We are all different shapes and sizes and that's what makes us all so amazing! I felt a wave of emotions during this shoot - vulnerable, judgemental, embarrassed, brave, powerful, glad! This project and these photos are a representation of a REAL body and I hope you enjoy looking through them with a fresh set of eyes and judgement free :)."

"Welcome to my bedroom studio. I finished uni this afternoon so while working on a songwriting assignment I took naked pics for your enjoyment and my brain space. Win win! I spend lots of time in this space making art of all sorts, so what's another? It's been many years since I first submitted to ISM, we've been through a pandemic, I've released music, got an annoying dog, broke up with my partner of that time, moved house a billion times and the one constant is this body I get to inhabit. So, please enjoy and rock on!"

"This time I took some pictures in the forest. I was alone in a place where no one could see me but when I was taking photos, I heard a rustle nearby and was very scared because I was completely naked and I didn't have enough time to get dressed. I covered myself and waited for someone to appear, and then from behind the bushes I saw a big cow looking at me! It was funny at that moment I breathed a sigh of relief. Other photos I took at home on my favorite armchair. I was very comfortable and I felt safe because no one could see me here. I took photos with pleasure thinking that it would be very sexy when you later look at my photos and get excited. Love everyone! Be horny and safe."

"Ero in vacanza e mi godevo la giornata in spiaggia e ho scattato le foto in uno stato d'animo positivo e rilassato. Negli scatti mi sono ispirato ai selfie che di solito mando ai miei partner. Stavo pensando a quanto sono felice di sentirmi finalmente bene nel mio corpo. Dopo aver terminato le riprese mi sono sentito pieno di energia e soddisfatto, pronto a continuare la mia giornata con un sorriso sul volto. E pronto a divertirmi con il mio partner! / I was on vacation enjoying the day at the beach and took the photos in a positive and relaxed mood. In the shots I was inspired by the selfies I usually send to my partners. I was thinking how happy I am to finally feel good in my body. After finishing the shoot I felt energized and satisfied, ready to continue my day with a smile on my face. And ready to have fun with my partner!"

"I got home from work early one day and spent an hour shoving everything off my bed and contending with my dog to make the ideal space I would feel comfortable in. I've always felt very neurotic about my body and how I'm perceived, so I didn't go back through any of the photos after I took them as a way to keep them organic. My dog also enjoyed the process and kept trying to get involved and I felt grateful to have the company for it. I want to get into modeling, and I want to explore my body without it being malleable."

"I shot most of this in the comfort of my apartment, and some on the beach. Given the nature of the shoot, it was a little difficult to be in the nude completely in the country where I'm at lol, but I managed to sneak a few topless images while outside. I took up a spot all the way at the end of the beach where it gets rocky so I could have some privacy, but ended up bumping into a few curious onlookers. It was a beautiful feeling being nudish while outside, we just unfortunately live in a world where maturity and nudity haven't met yet. Overall, I had a great time photographing myself ;)."

"It has been maybe about 2 years or even more since I did my last shoot and a lot has changed since then. I love that every time I do a project for ISM something about my appearance has altered, from my hair, to piercings to tattoos, something is always different. I Shot Myself is almost like a time capsule for me with the different stages of my life being documented. But what brought me back this time has been a rut that I've been in, unexpected changes in my life has left me a little lost and honestly, insecure too and I remembered the positive feeling that doing ISM has given me in the past and I thought that it would be a great way to not only challenge myself again but to learn to feel comfortable in my own skin."
