New Releases

"I was out in nature using things you find in nature, like leaves and feathers. Playing with the elements water, wind and sun made me feel relaxed and at one with my surroundings."

"I really enjoyed doing this shoot. It was a beautiful warm day, the sun was just starting to set giving everything a gorgeous warm glow. I felt so inspired by the sunset light, I explored through the tropical bush, finding beautiful yellow and red flowers and posing with them. It was such a fun time, I wish I could walk around naked in the wilderness forever!"

"I awoke to Elsa climbing into bed with me, drifting in with the morning rays. I had forgotten I had invited her over and slept right through my alarm. Her presence catching me off-guard and disorienting me slightly, I hazily rearranged myself into my usual position of big spoon, stretching around her body that was cool from the autumn chill. Her hair smelt faintly of her coconut shampoo and tickled my arm as it fell to rest there. The morning sun was softly beaming its way through my window and my kitten, Yuki, was purring as she slept next to us. This was the perfect opportunity to capture such a beautiful morning spent with Elsa and Yuki."

"This was an incredibly enjoyable experience - particularly the journey to shooting locations with my friends! It was an adrenaline filled day of rolling around in the sand and salty waves, keeping an eye out for casual beach goers. Whenever one would come by I would submerge my naked body in the cold water, or make a mad dash for the security of my towel. During one of these mad dashes I forgot my mirror on the sand and a black labrador raced down the shore at full pelt and without any hesitation stepped on my mirror shattering it. In the end it contributed to my friends shoot anyway, so thank you to that black lab."

"I absolutely adored doing my shoot. I loved the freedom of being naked outside and the thrill of being caught by one of my house mates just added to the excitement! I'd planned to do it indoors but after being left alone in the house I decided the backyard was more scenic and a little more daring! I loved the feeling of grass and the breeze on my naked body which was a new and interesting sensation. I wish every day nakedness was accepted!"

"In my family we were always incredibly protective of our nudity. I never saw either of my parents naked. There was a massive taboo surrounding nudity. As my sexuality blossomed, it was increasingly challenged, so doing shoots like this one remain a challenge. I think it's more than just showing the body, it's also showing the self in a way that I hadn't been able to growing up, so for me it's a big part of getting older and gaining independence and self confidence."

"Shooting this folio I thought of all the requirments of light and so on. Then I started to think about creative ideas, things for my background, things I could use. Since it was the Women's day recently I had red roses and I found them beautiful and sensual. It can seem tasteless though. You decide. Also one of the scenes was made on my bed and in a few photos there is my ukulele. I like how it looks. So I hope you will enjoy my first folio!"

"Roughly 8 years ago I did my first ISM folio, so as it was Autumn (the most beautiful season in my opinion) I decided to submit a shoot celebrating this fact and taking advantage of the lovely red and orange hues that this season provides. Rain threatened to stall the shoot, but I embraced the droplets and gorgeous predictably unpredictable Melbourne weather and had a ball playing around in the dirt and leaves. Fans of my first folio may also notice the cameo appearance of "Reddy", my beloved arm chair."

"I decided to split my folio in two, the graveyard (which shows my eccentric side) and my shibari, which delves into my love of rope and BDSM. While shooting naked outside I had to do a quick dodge back to my car when I saw another car approaching... before realising that my clothes were in the boot of my car and I'd left my keys on the ground back where I was shooting!"

"This shoot was an extremely enjoyable experience. I shot with two friends at a beach and a national park. It was a great bonding experience to see each other in our completely natural states. At first it was a little bit awkward, but within 20 minutes it felt completely normal and comfortable. Shooting on the beach led to a few close calls with passers-by, there were several panicked sprints from the water to a towel just in time as unsuspecting pedestrians walked onto the beach. Another funny side effect of shooting in a group was the ever-occuring accidental photobomb; many photos were ruined because of an awkwardly posed half-naked friend in the background. From the exhiliration of nearly being seen to the freedom of being 100% myself in such a beautiful setting, overall it was a great day out. I would do it again in a heartbeat."

"This time I wanted to combine a little bit what I do in my real life with the I Shot Myself so I took my suitcase full of juggling gear to the park and tried in which kind of way I can fit myself inside it. Juggling and holding the camera at the same time didn't work too well, so I found interesting ways how to combine me and my toys together./Diessemal wollte ich gern was ich in meinen normalen leben tue mit dem I Shot Myself verbinden also habe ich meinen koffer voll mit jongliersachen mit in den park genommen und geschaut wie ich in den koffer passe jonglieren und gleichzeitig die kamera zu halten war ganz schoen schwierig also habe ich andere possitionen gefunden wie ich mich mit meinen spielzeugen arangiere."

"Nudity is not always erotic. This shoot felt just nude at first, but gradually erotic as well. I've often been nude without any arousal (even within a sexual interaction). As I shot myself, I saw the erotic me in two dimensions, and arousal was almost guaranteed because of the context of my imagination. I loved tight ropes around me, and even came to orgasm feeling the ropes pulled tightly against my labia. I also loved shooting myself in a big old wooden blanket box, imagining myself a gift."

"I started with some shots and after seeing some of my pictures, I felt more confident and excited to keep shooting. I was enjoying it and I didn't expect to feel like that, so overwhelmed. I was using my partner's room to take the pictures and he was giving me advice. My aim was to be able to look at myself and be happy with my body. I'm not one hundred percent happy with my body yet, but now I can look at myself with a different perspective."

"One of my favorite things about Anna_Belle is that when we snuggle up in bed together, she insists on being the big spoon, despite the fact she is really quite tiny. It's so comforting to feel the warmth of her body as she curls against my back, wrapping her arms around my waist until they come to rest in their place between my breasts. Our legs twisting together, hidden from view as the sheets fall over us. The delicate softness of her skin and the feeling of her lips as they meet my face and neck, sending the familiar feeling of goose-bumps cascading over me. Because of this it seemed fitting to shoot our duet in bed - an intimate space where we candidly co-exist with each other when we want to shelter from the world." - Elsa_H

"This is my first ever shoot, so I had a lot of fun exploring myself in a familiar context: my home. It's so important to feel comfortable with yourself and your body, so I picked the place where I'm most comfortable. I had so much fun experimenting with angles, with how my body moved and looked, with different mirror placements and poses. At one point my housemate came into the backyard where I was shooting to hang out the washing and got a huge shock! He soon realised why I was frolicking about in the nude though and calmed down (thankfully!). He was even worried that he might get in the way of the shoot, but I told him not to worry. Overall this was a super fun shoot and I can't wait to do another."
