"This is my third folio for IShotMyself. I've read some of the beautiful comments people have left, which are so sweet and so kind. I like doing photoshoots because I've always been so self-conscious of my body and it's nice to be open about it instead."

"Hi, I'm from Germany. I just finished school this year. I'm hoping to study a combination of economics and Psychology. I would really like to work with people. I love sports, especially horseriding - I've done it for years now. I love to go out in the country by myself. I feel quite comfortable being naked. It's not a secret topic: we talk about it and we do it. That's why I don't have a problem with doing IShotMyself. I'm not shy, so it's more fun than awkward."

"I accidentally broke the mirror, but it made for more interesting shots. Because of the broken glass, I had to wear shoes (which I was thinking of doing for part of it anyway), but my neighbors and their kids kept coming into their backyard and I felt very self-conscious tromping around naked in my loud, clompy boots. I spent a lot of time crouching naked, smoking a cigarette, peering through the fence gaps trying to determine whether or not they could see me."

"This folio was shot mainly at Arthur's Creek, 40 minutes out of Melbourne. The property is virtually abandoned, with two large pine forests, blueberry bushes and four or five wild cows and kangaroos. Nobody knows where the cows came from. I wanted to pose my body in a way that matched some of the shapes of my surroundings and create a story of being lost but surreally comfortable in a forest. Rolling around in the grass and dirt, walking through the forest that seemed endless, perching on mounds of dried wood and posing next to beautiful wild bulb flowers all gives this sense. The twisting and strong poses are combined with soft and relaxed ones to creates a sense of exploration and endless comfort and discovery."

"Je me suis eclatee a me prendre en photo pour ce projet. C'est tres excitant de devoir se devoiler a l'exterieur. Je suis de nature assez pudique mais dans ces conditions, tous mes a-prioris ont disparu, au point de poser sur la plage! merci de m'avoir donne l'occasion de partager ca avec vous!/I had a bunch of fun shooting myself for this project! It's really exciting to be naked outdoors. I am normally someone quite shy with her body but this project gave me an excuse to do it anyway, even on the beach! Thanks to give me the opportunity to share this with you guys!"

"Moving to a small surf town where nudity is well accepted inspired me to break my five year absence and shoot another folio. On weekends I like to walk down to the beach early in the morning, when nobody else is around. When I take off my clothes, I have the sense that my personal space flows out to the horizon, that I am one with the wind and sand and gentle rolling waves. It's a deeply peaceful feeling, and it fills me with an energy that stays with me for weeks afterwards."

"I love places that are full of natural light. There's a beauty in spaces that are crisp, white, stark and simple. Places can be alive even without the addition of color. And it allows all the light and shadow of the body to be fully on display. I loved getting to know myself again whilst shooting this, falling back in love with each part of my body, noticing things that had changed and charting every line and freckle. Age has changed me, which I've never had the chance to really notice until now. Being able to stop and reflect and take in change is an amazing experience. It's peaceful."

"I have a tumblr where I like to post sexy photos, and discovered IShotMyself through that and decided to participate. The pictures were taken inside my house on 02/16/2016. I was not thinking about anything at the time was taking the pictures, just enjoying exhibitionism. My cat decided to participate in some photos, I was very happy with the outcome of the photos and I hope the people enjoy it as much as my boyfriend and I did!"

"E'stato divertente scattarsi foto e ridere da sola delle face che facevo. Mi sforzavo di essere creativa ma ogni foto sembrava uguale! Ho provato ad utilizzare diversi oggeti che potessero ornare il mio corpo e provando ogni cosa mi passasse tra le mani ho cominciato a scattare, anche se alla fine i vincitori sono stati pochi!/It was really funny to make selfies and laugh alone about my face! I tried to be creative but every shot seemed the same! I tried to use many objects that could adorn my body and using everything passed in my hands I started to shoot."

"I shot myself in my friend's private backyard, because I live with four other people on student, musician and late night schedules. It was really beautiful - the lighting was perfect and her backyard is filled with flowers, luscious green grass and enough shade. I had to have a few breaks to regain energy - shooting seems so simple but it really does take it out of you. I had an enormous amount of fun, it was awesome to be able to go back and check myself out."

"Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness." Romans 6:13

"I was a little nervous when I first started the shoot as I have never really done anything like this before. I've taken nude selfies for my past partners, but never from so many different angles! I captured the parts of my body that I don't normally like, but after taking more photos I began to embrace myself a little more and found I took some really beautiful photos. I felt proud of myself for having the confidence to do the shoot and embrace every part of my body. All in all it was a really positive experience and I ended up enjoying it way more than I ever had before. I'm going to keep the photos to remind myself how beautiful I am despite my imperfections!"

"My shoot is about being a bit of a brat but having fun with it. I don't get to play my guitars as much as I want so I thought I'd play WITH them. Then when my dog came home from her walk I couldn't resist getting her to join in (and she couldn't resist either, because... treats!)."

"I'm particularly interested in dance as a form of sexual expression, and I'm going to Thailand for a month-long training course in sacred sexuality for women. One of the key things we do is sexual movement practise which focuses on using dance to express ourselves sexually. Lots of people think that when you're naked in a performance, that you're making a statement about being naked. But it's not like that - it's just me in my truest form. I want to portray something or give meaning to something, and to find a costume or outfit to represent that sometimes doesn't make sense. Sometimes the thing that makes the most sense is to just be in your human skin. I love dancing naked, I love the way it feels. I do feel more vulnerable - because I am so exposed - but it's quite a beautiful thing."

"This was so fun! My pictures are an expression of nature at its finest. At first it felt secretive but after my first few pictures I really eased into it, and once my knickers were off there was no stopping me! My favorite pictures are the ones rolling around in the dirt because I think it shows my playful side and the ones with the flowers on my body, I felt so peaceful and happy and the colour contrast looked so cool."
