New Releases

"I hope this shoot reflects my inner child: innocence, curiosity, and a playful cheekiness that I've been learning to channel into everyday life. Sometimes things are too mundane. I sleep hugging the giant toy shark every night, so I figured he should make an appearance. He doesn't have a name yet though. I really had as much fun shooting this as it looks. It was like playing dressups but without the clothes. P.s. Strangely enough pink is not my favourite colour!"

"For this shoot I wanted to do a fun, summery, 70's theme. I really love the carefree, sexual nature of that era. I'm really into the films and music of the 70's too. I collect vintage clothing so the shoes and skirt I'm wearing are both original 1970's deadstock clothing, which means it was shop stock that was never purchased, thus never worn. It's basically like having a time machine to go shopping with! Being naked outside is always so lovely, feels very liberating, just have to remember to apply sunscreen EVERYWHERE."

"I found it very liberating doing a shoot outside in the nature. Made me feel free as if I am an animal myself, helped me to realese and be creative, for example climbing a tree, being expressive in my poses, using props such as pizza box. I enjoyed doing the shoot really fast and not thinking about what the pictures are going to look like, but letting them make themselves in a very spontaneous way."

"I feel like the human body is an interesting phenomenon, there's so many different versions! I find great pleasure in the beauty of the human form... it's interesting to explore that."

"I found a quaint balcony in my flat building for the shoot, and thank god it was a warm, 30 degree day, otherwise I would have felt quite nippy outside. I spent the whole day on this balcony for the shoot, and apart from a small spider trying to crawl up my bum, it was quite enjoyable. Getting into all the different angles, especially the shoots that were done with my feet, were very tricky, but it was worth it in the end. I thought for a good laugh, I'd draw happy and sad faces on my nipples too as I've always found that they never become erect at the same time, so it's quite appropriate. Certain angles also made me queef, which was pretty funny. I highly reccommend shooting for IShotMyself. As well as a feeling of empowerment afterwards, it is a really good way to spend a day by yourself, especially if you need to get back in touch with who you really are underneath the facade you put on every morning. I loved it!"

"I was surprised by how quickly I relaxed and enjoyed taking the photos rather than being preoccupied with being self conscious. The lighting in my room is really nice, especially in the middle of the day. I have a large window and a large mirror in my room so even though its tiny it worked well and I was able to make the most of the space. I only took a few photos outside because its a communal garden and I don't think the lady who lives under me would appreciate watching me frolic in the garden naked in the middle of the day (or maybe she would). I had a fun time taking the photos; I felt confident, beautiful and in control. It was a great experience."

"This shoot was so much fun- I knew I wanted to shoot with flowers but wasn't sure what type or where to get them! In the end I ended up just taking them from my front yards rose bush which was great because the pink color was perfect. But when at one point during the shoot while tucking one of the roses into my bra - A BUG CRAWLED OUT! I screamed and probably caused quite a stir in my house. But I got him safely outside and continued with the shoot. It was a bit of a reminder of how you cant predict everything- just how the shoot was. A lot of it just came naturally and each shot came after the previous without too much planning or thought. In the end I felt really confident about my choices and so good about myself! It was especially fun delving into my feminine side - which I don't necessarily consider my strongest characteristic."

"I have wanted to cover myself in milk for ages! I am happy with how the pictures came out. I wanted to show that being natural and happy can be beautiful. I used to wear so much make up and be so worried about my body but since I have grown older I've realized that I prefer to present myself more naturally."

"I was lucky enough to take these photos at my friends house who happens to have the most amazing garden. It was raining lightly and had this beautiful smell of wet rain forest. I was frolicking around his garden like a tree fairy onto to remember why I was there in the first place: to take photos! It was an amazing experience, being naked in such a magical garden."

"En tant que designer industriel, je suis très intéressée par tous les types de matériaux. Pour ce shooting, j'ai voulu travailler sur l'interaction entre la peau et différents types de matériaux. Jouer avec la douceur et la dureté, la chaleur et la froideur, le mat et le brillant... Je suis très contente du résultat, avec cette constante (mon corps nu) et ces différents matériaux, donnant à chaque fois une nouvelle ambiance à la photo./As an industrial designer, I'm very interested in all kind of materials. For this shoot, I wanted to work on the interaction between the skin and different kind of materials. Let's play with soft and hard, cold and warm, matte and reflective... I am very happy with the result, having this constant (which is my naked body) and those different materials, giving each time a new atmosphere to the picture."

"The red earth, my red hair, an adventure and a cheeky bit of the Aussie bush. There's nothing quite like the sun on your skin and the wind in your hair on a hot summer's day. Come with me."

"Late afternoon sunlight cascades across my body in dappled patterns, casting shifting leaf shadows on my belly, breasts and thighs. I basked in the warmth, moving between sun and shadow and loving the way the warm glow of sunset lights up my skin. This set was shot in the sun room at my friend's house where I was staying during my 5 week visit to Australia from London. The sunlight here is so beautiful and always makes me happy. I loved playing with the mirror poses, particularly how cute it looked when I pulled my knickers down but kept them around my thighs! I love that sort playful nude-but-not-nude tease. After a while I couldn't resist stepping outside to lean against the tree that had been casting its leaf shadow on my body, snuggle against it and feel the rough caress of its bark and the soft touch of its leaves. The warmth of direct sunshine on skin, being naked outdoors and enjoying the scents and textures of nature, always gets me excited. I guess I'm a bit of an ecosexual!"

"I began to shoot the folio in several sessions for I live with others and find it difficult to be alone long enough for a one time session. Doing so made me feel relief, and more true to this fragmentation of the self for I am not a permanent self but a multiplicity of sensitive moving forces, permeable by light, space, objects and energy around me. Inside each particular landscape I also created a different image of myself. This folio contains the following selfs: garden in mirror, bedroom with outdoor boots -still with dirt on-, in bed converted by changing light (soft morning, end afternoon nothingness, burning candle). Enjoy."

"I had so much fun with my shoot, I found a pink vintage Furisode Juban (long sleeved under-kimono) while shopping with a friend so I wanted to incorporate it in some way. I thought it would be fun to juxtapose some shots of the soft pink silk and flowers with others using the starkness of the black silk rope in some fun improvised shibari. I love the way rope feels, it's comfy and gentle but it also has so much potential for roughness, so it's enjoyable both in an aesthetic and sensory way. The strappy lingerie has a very similar feel to the black rope and I love the way my nips peek out of it! I wanted the shoot to be very minimalist so as to make the few clothes and props really stand out, and I think it came together well. Knowing the pictures were going to end up online made it much more racy too. I'm a serious exhibitionist and especially while wearing the rope I got really into it. Overall it was a great experience, I liked the opportunity to confront some of my hangups about parts of my body I'm still learning to love as much as the others, and the chance to be creative in a new way."
