New Releases

"When I was 12 I moved from Madagascar to one of the largest cities in Italy. It was there that I found antique shops for the first time, and discovered my fascination with antique dolls. Their youthful faces, sculpted to the aesthetic of their time, aged with the wear and tear of decades - baby eyes which have seen the world. I guess I capture my youth the same way in this photoset. Enjoy."

"So, while doing this shoot, I was a bit awkward at first. Especially thinking the neighbors would see over the low fence and see me posing naked everywhere in the backyard. I did consider wearing makeup for the shoot, but then decided I should take a more natural approach to this. Trying to get the right angles proved to be a bit tricky, especially while aiming to be unique and creative at the same time. As a world traveler I thought it would be interesting to show a few different currencies I've collected along the way. The shots done with my menstrual cup may be a bit beyond the pale, but I am not ashamed of my flow. I am a woman, and I menstruate. I just don't feel I should be ashamed of natural bodily functions. Traveling can be a bit tricky for us women. The menstrual cup has been a godsend while traveling, especially in 3rd world countries. I really like the photos with flowers. Women and their privates have a tendency to be compared to flowers. I have always liked this comparison, and enjoyed trying to incorporate that idea into my shots."

"One sunny summer afternoon I was hot and bored so I took my camera down to the grasslands at the bottom of my street, stripped off, and frolicked through the tall grass. I got a rash on my ass but feeling the cool breeze while being exposed to the elements made it all worthwhile. I feel most comfortable and beautiful amongst an ecosystem. This is me in my natural habitat."

"I shot with two new, wonderful friends in our college music room. It was SUPER hot and gross and I had bought this super sweet slip that day so debuted it in some undressing shots featuring the piano. My new tattoo lady friend on my tummy got her first proper viewing as did my surgery scar on upper thigh. I should not have had such a massive mexican lunch though, rolling around on the ground caused serious tummy swirls to be ignored in favour of getting good camera angles."

"In my folio, I tried to create the contrast between nature and beauty and some rough, dirty, kinky shit to effect harmony. Most of the ideas were planned, as I am used to having a concept before I start creative work, but for example the gloves were a spontaneous idea when I came into the hardware shop for the barbed wire. I was very happy about the possibility to get creative on the project, as I alternated them because they were way too large, and also made the headband by myself. When I was at the lake it was hard to take the photos because there were so many people there. That's why it took me very long. But that's how I had some really interesting conversations about art that day and got some help with the barbed wire being wrapped around my body, which is the most uncomfortable thing I could remember of, but in a way I enjoyed it as I am fascinated of this idea since I first saw the cover of Rihanna's album "rated r". So all in all I had lots of scratches all over my skin and needed a really long, hot shower to get the dirt off afterwards, but it was absolutely worth it."

"Hi, my name's Ezmerelda and I've decided to make a behind the scenes documentation of how I'm putting together my IShotMyself folio. I've just gotten back from collecting firewood from down by my local train station. So, step 1 is to combine two of my favourite activities: breaking up wood and taking off my clothes..."

"My girlfriend and I took my dog for a walk as an excuse for me to get naked on a Macadamia farm. While shooting myself, I got out of my dogs line of sight (which he was not happy about) He literally dragged my girlfriend down a slippery and muddy hill until he could see me again. Then he sat patiently and waited until I was done taking pictures."

"I chose the very old, rusty rooftop of my house for my shoot. My favourit time of the day is dawn, when the light is golden and crisp, so at 6am I was precariously clambering with a mirror across the creaking roof. I'd picked a perfect, cloudless day wich also ment it was freezing and I was seriously reluctant to take all my warm layers off! It didn't take long for me to get into the feeling of the shoot once I started snapping. I had heaps of fun playing with the angles and using the blue of the sky to complement my eyes and the red of the lipstick to set off my hair. I incorporated the use of an apple to add another dynamic to the shoot, giving the eye something else to focus on around the curves and skin. The rooftop was a great location, and added a level of 'will someone see me?" excitement to the whole thing. One thing I didn't take into consideration was how dirty the roof was! By the end of my picture snapping, I was covered in mud."

"The shoot was entertaining. I was slightly nervous at first then got more conformable and started having fun with it. Going outside was interesting as there are a few neigbours around and I was worried but excited about that. I may have fell on the bed a few times and left handprints on the windows trying to balance."

"Shooting this folio was all about luxuriating in my new black lingerie. I absolutely love the feel of it on my skin, the way the tight elastic of the undies cuts gently into the soft flesh of my hips, how the thin lace stretches tight over my nipples. Nothing makes me feel sexier."

"For my 25th year on Earth, I have embarked on a journey around the world, and find myself currently in Byron Bay, Australia. I have been in such awe of Australia's wild nature, so raw and honest in its beauty. This series of photographs was inspired by the natural beauty around me. De-clothing and becoming part of this landscape has been an empowering and pleasurable experience. Please enjoy and remember to love yourself and be good to others."

"I have really large, natural breasts and some of the shots I felt wouldn't be flattering. I know I will look back and think, 'what are those giant lumps doing? Please remain in your designated seating area'."

"For this shoot I got all romantic and decided to have a fire in my bedroom to try and capture a more intimate and sensual mood than my shoots in broad daylight. The fire didn't really get going but my internal fire did! I felt like I was on a date with myself and I loved playing around with the mirror and feeling the soft sheets on my skin."

"I loved getting more comfortable with my naked body with each picture I took. It felt (almost) normal to be naked ANYWHERE. I found myself sprawled out on this fur rug and got extremely turned on. I fought it, thinking I was being ridiculous, then thought, "don't deny yourself pleasure". My fingers moved down there, with the door wide open, imagining my girlfriend on top of me. This folio is all about allowing myself to feel - good, sexy, confident."

"Hello, beautiful strangers! This is my second I Shot Myself Folio, and as my long romantic affair with nature continues, I decided to take this one at the beach. With warm weather and perfect sunshine, I travelled to Brighton and Sandringham beaches, where the sand is pristine and the water crystal clear. A stranded siren upon the beach, the setting was perfect for my pale skin, and even some starfishes were involved!"
