New Releases

"I have always been allowed, even more encouraged to express myself through my body. Dancing was a part of my life for many years, which I absolutely loved. I feel the best dancers are the ones, who are able to express the emotions needed for the character and performance. Body and facial expressions were always important to me. I have always been fascinated by making a statement through body expressions and the way that you can move and shape your body. I found shooting myself in this way empowering and exciting!"

"I intended to be more creative with my shoot but since I have just moved back to Melbourne all I wanted to do was catch up with friends, as any 19-year-old would. I tried my best to make use of the props I already had and my surroundings. I'm fairly sure all my neighbours could see me, which will make the next few weeks awkward. Over all I loved shooting this folio. It was lots of fun!"

"Today I took my usual daily stroll down in the bush behind my house, although this was a day like no other. As I got nearer to the creek I heard the most curious and perhapes prehistoric noises. On closer inspection and to my wild surprise I found some new friends. We spent a little time getting to know each other but before long things took a real turn for the naughty... I found myself experiencing an different kind of afternoon altogether. Brontosaurus has always been my favourite dinosaur and now I know why."

"I realized that I'm never naked for more than a few minutes (after the shower) even in the privacy of my own room. I wanted to shoot myself getting ready in the morning, just an every day event, but it felt completely different when I was naked. The most monotonous activities can be flipped by changing a single thing."

"Rakensin kuvauksen yksinkertaisten asioiden ymparille, joita rakastan: puu, tee, kukat... Luonto. Pidin japanilaisen teeseremonian ihollani, puinen kaulakoru paatyi moniin paikkoihin ja kukat saivat ihoni loistamaan. Olin vahva ja herkka samaan aikaan, kuten luonto on. Asun 12 ihmisen kanssa, joten hauska osa oli yrittaa pitaa kuvaus yksityisena. Vain teelehdet ja kukat lattialla muistuttamassa./I built the photo shoot around the simple things I love: wood, flowers tea, nature and earth. I was having a Japanese tea ceremony on my curves. Wooden necklace found its way to many spots on my body and flowers made me glow. I was sensitive and strong at the same time, like the nature is. I live with 12 people; so funny part was to try to keep the photoshoot as my private thing. Only tea leaves and flowers on the floor as a memory."

"I was quite sleepy this morning but it was so hot and sunny and beautiful that it was the perfect day to get naked! The stream was so nice and cool and there was a light breeze which kept it from getting too hot. I initially ran all around the reserve to try different shots, and to also hide from the dog walkers, because there were a lot! In the end though, I just gave up on hiding and kept snapping in my happy little spot... no one seemed to mind!"

"My bedroom is my natural environment but I feel equally at home in the forests near my hometown, so I decided to shoot in both places. There's not much in the natural world that makes me happier than moss, so I really had the best time doing this. I loved moving through the forest completely naked, and feeling completely free from any shame or expectation, just wholly myself. A surprising turn of events was having to pull a leech from my bum and crush it with my bare hands. It was actually quite an empowering experience, since I've long had a mortal fear of leeches."

"I shot myself baking nude, as it is a favourite passtime of mine. "Naking", I like to call it. I love food, especially sweet, fresh foods and fruits. I love to be creative and find clothing creativly restricting. I have lots of fun in my big, bright kitchen and I love being able to see outside and into my backyard as I cook and create."

"I started my shoot wearing a crop top and pants, then started to get naked and feel free in front of the camera. I have great light in my apartment, as one wall is all window. I also have good light in my bedroom and a whole mirrored wardrobe which worked great. The balcony shots were a bit daring as in the middle of the day as anyone can see, but I didn't care. I'm bit of an exhibitionist. I loved wearing my black boots on some of the images as they make me feel very sexy. I loved the whole shoot and would definitely do it again."

"E stato divertente giocare a farsi i selfie in completa nudita, c'era un po di imbarazzo iniziale per gli occhi indiscreti degli abitanti nel palazzo adiacente e il timore che qualcuno bussasse alla porta hanno reso il gioco piu' piccante. Straordinario sorprendermi a mio agio col mio corpo e di fronte all'obiettivo./It was fun to play in getting the selfie in full nudity. There was a bit of initial embarrassment to the prying eyes of the people in the adjoining building and the fear that someone knocked on the door but it made the game more spicy. I was surprised to be so at ease with my body in front of the lens."

"I have a major fetish for heels, masks, leather, lipstick, lace, tulle and - as strange as this might sound - perfect lighting. So I used these as themes by including my leather gloves, sexy heels and beautiful tulle bustle skirt. After a few miserable winter days I struggled to get an opportunity to find a nice day to shoot. Due to poor lighting and rain I was starting to feel disheartened. But with my fresh, beautiful vibrant hair cut and colours (I leave it up to my hairdresser so I never plan on what to expect) I dragged myself out of bed early this morning. Finally having some good last minute light, I found the part of my house where the light looked best: my upstairs mini bathroom. With full steam ahead and raw coco drink in hand, I primped and pampered and here are the results. I love being a doll! So I call my house the dollhouse. Thank you everyone who took the time to look at my photos. Much love and respect."

Now that the campfire is made, it's story time. Jacqui shares an interesting story about feeding her ex-partner's mother something no mother should eat, as well as a dirty secret about inserting collectibles from her friend's bedroom and photographing it all.

"I took the pictures in my apartment but because there wasn't much natural light inside, I thought I might take a few pictures outside. The light wasn't much better but it was kind of thrilling thinking that my upstairs neighbours could see me from their balcony. I had to be on the look out, and I loved it. I thought inside would be safer, that no one would be able to see me, but when I stood up on the dinner table trying to get an interesting angle, I realised that the whole street could actually see me. So even inside of my own apartment, I had to be careful. My idea was "If I can't see them, they can't see me", but I'm pretty sure someone must have seen me from a window, or passing by quickly, without me noticing it."

"When I need a break from the city I love to drive out to the bush and spend some time in nature. And what better way to clear my mind than to get naked and go for a walk? It was a freezing cold day so I lit a fire and played around taking photos through the smoke. I love being naked and learn more about myself every time I shoot a folio for ISM."

"Un beau apres-midi, je m'installe sur mon lit prete pour quelques photos. Pour me rassurer j'utilise de beaux assessoires, j'aime les utiliser lors de festival, de jolies fleurs, un hola hoops et bien sur ma guitare. Je me sent a mon aise comme impregner par cette nature que j'aime tant. Je me sent libre comme lorsque je danse lors de mes festival , je suis moi-meme./ After a beautiful afternoon, I sit on my bed ready for some photos. To reassure myself, I use beautiful accessories. I love to use these at festivals - pretty flowers, hula hoops and of course, my guitar. I feel at ease as I get really into using these kind of everyday things. It makes me feel as free as when I dance at festivals, being myself."
