"This shoot was even more fun than my first shoot. I don't have privacy at my house, so I went exploring through my city in search of an interesting location where I could photograph myself alone. I found the perfect abandoned building, so the next day I returned with two mirrors and my favourite underwear, full of anticipation and excitement. Such a great experience!/Das Shooting war sogar mehr Spaß als mein erstes Shooting. Ich habe keine Privatsphäre in meinem Haus, also ging ich auf der Suche nach einer interessanten Lage durch meine Stadt zu erkunden, wo ich mich allein fotografieren konnte. Ich fand die perfekte verlassenen Gebäude, so dass ich am nächsten Tag wieder mit zwei Spiegeln und meine Lieblings-Unterwäsche, voller Vorfreude und Aufregung. Solch ein tolles Erlebnis!"

"At first I didn't really want to tell anyone that I am participating in this project. One morning when I was alone at home I took all the pictures and had a lot of fun. Later that day my housemate asked me how I had spent my day, so I told her all about it. She liked it and thought it was great that I want to contribute to ISM. Not only did taking the pictures make me feel more confident, but so did my understanding and supporting friend!"

"This shoot was taken in my house, an old hotel from the 1800's converted into a mansion, full of old furniture and antiques. The lighting in one room in particular is beautiful. But it does have a spooky vibe to it, maybe because no one ever really goes in there. People say our house is haunted. So I felt a bit funny getting naked and taking photos in there, and I was hoping my housemates wern't going to barge in! It took me 2 afternoons to take all the photos and I got carpet burn on my butt from the old couch! It was a challenge to make each photo unique and different from the last, but I'm happy with the end result."

"I'm trained as a dancer but I've moved much more into performance art. It's a form of healing, it's a form of therapy and it's a great way to deeply connect to myself and life. It's a great way to get emotions shifting through your body and to not allow them to be stagnant, allow them to move through you. It's also a beautiful way to meditate, really let your mind go and just be here, be in your body. The best dance class I've ever done was a contact improvisation class. For the whole hour and a half I was blindfolded and I didn't know who I was dancing with. At first it was quite scary but by the end of it I had completely surrendered. It was one of the most blissful, ecstatic experiences of my life."

"I must admit that I felt pretty awkward at first. I hadn't photographed myself before, so I wasn't sure how to feel attractive in that situation. After 20 unsuccessful shots, I started to relax, enjoy the shoot, feel sexy and play with my body. I ended up laughing so much, and enjoying every picture! I loved it!"

"There are some days when the light is right and you know that you it's time to take a few shots. This was definitely one of those days at home when it's not warm outside, but the sunshine streaming in makes you feel so yummy that you have to share it with the world."

"Whilst I was shooting myself I thought it would be a good idea to go outside to the grass. I was happily snapping away at my vagina, spread leg in the air, when my next door neighbour opened up his back door and witnessed the whole ordeal! At first I was embarrassed but then I centered myself and regained confidence in what I was doing."

"I couldn't decide on a creative idea for this shoot, so I just started shooting. This was my daily routine with a camera involved. I do most of these daily tasks naked anyway as I am a bit of a nudist. Taking photos of it and being so comfortable with what I saw was amazing and so liberating. I am so happy I did this shoot and would recommend it to everyone. I won't stop with this one, I'll keep taking photos for my personal album!"

"I went through a hippie phase a few years ago and ever since then I definetely felt the 'flower child' in me. I started to care about nature, and hang out in it all the time. Plants became a comfort and nudity became a comfortable state. I am really comfortable just being naked and nudity doesnt always need to be sexual."

"This afternoon I was feeling fresh and spritely, and I thought to myself, "where else to do a shoot than on a public golf course on a sunny Monday?" Who could resist all that fenced off lush green grass? I had a handful of passers by and I think I gave them all a little surprise. I always thought of golf as boring, but I'll definitely never look at it that way again!"

"How often do we take nudity in our rooms for granted? It's the most innocent place of all to be naked. I've probably spent hours watching myself dress and undress in front of my weathered dresser. And many other bedroom mirrors before this one. Until this shoot I never realised quite how intimate this particular dresser has become for me. I had no problem reaslising I would need to perch my naked butt onto it and eventually, climb all over it. This is my bedroom. My sanctuary. And my fun space."

"I shot myself in pretty populated locations. It was confronting to witness the impressions I made on complete strangers with my open public nudity, and it was a total trip for my ego to take on their reactions. Do I really care if these people interpret me as vain or vulgar? Should I have to explain myself and argue my right to express myself like this, or is it enough to know that I am doing something not only liberating but also completely encompassing who I am? This is how I choose to live: naked, sacred and soaking in my own existance."

"The cat from the house just pop into the room and so opened the door himself, as I am living in a house with 8 others people, I can tell Lulu-the-Cat scared me. Then, really enjoyed the shooting time because it was a great time with myself. I didn't took a lot of time for myself those last months because I was travelling the last 10 months, living in a tent for 3 months, so always with friends and people. It was hard to get private moments. This time I waited for my roomate to go to her work, then I could put a great mix from Nicolas Jarre, stoke myself quietly and happily, drink some good red wine, and take the pictures. /Le chat de la maison a fait irruption dans la chambre et a ouvert la porte tout seul. Comme je vis avec 8 autres personnes je peux dire aue Lulu-la-chatte m a fait peur pour le coup. Ensuite j ai vraiment apprecie prendre des photos car j ai pu prendre du te;ps pour moi et ca faisait longtemps que je n en avais pas eu l occasion vu que j ai passe les 10 derniers mois a voyager, puis j ai vecu 3mois en tente avec des amis et d autres gens. c etait difficile d avoir des moments prives. CEtte fois ci c etait ma chance. j ai attendu que ma colloc s en aille bosser, j ai mis un cool mis de Nicolas Jarre, bu du bon vin rouge, me suis touchee. et pris les photos en meme temps."

"While I was doing the shoot, my housemate and best friend who lives downstairs walked into my room as I was taking photos with a cactus in front of my vagina. She could see it all. We had a good laugh about it! IShotMyself is definitely something you should try because it will, without a doubt allow you to be more comfortable with how you are. We don't take enough time to look at our bodies, or even look at a photos of our bodies and think, "I look great. I'm really happy with the way I look, and I feel sexy. I feel liberated."

"I was really nervous when I shot these pics. The first time I tried shooting in the backyard, some gardeners just came in. My heart almost jumped out of my mouth. Luckily, I still had time to put on clothes and pretend I was just sunbathing. The situation got a lot better when I tried next time, and I felt more relax."
