"When shooting yourself you have utter control of the photo, pose and composition and want to convey yourself in the best possible light. It was a process of snapping multiple shots in different poses and different angles and then reviewing them to see which worked and which didn't. The kimono was something I picked up in Japan when I visited last year and has been an obsession of mine since then (I currently have 5 beautiful ones to call my own). It did act as a sort of safety blanket, a feature of the pictures to make them interesting and different."

"I really pushed myself out of my comfort zone when I decided to shoot myself as I've never done anything like this before! Usually I'm quite self conscious and shy about my body, but that's exactly the reason why I decided to do this! I found that as soon as I started taking photos I realised that there was nothing to be shy or ashamed about when it comes to my body and sexuality in general. It even filled me with confidence as I looked better than how I imagined. It was so liberating and a lot of fun trying (and sometimes failing) to try out new poses. I really hope this encourages other women out there to love themselves and embrace their natural bodies! "Life begins outside of the comfort zone"- it's true!"

"For my second shoot I chose another outdoor location: a park alongside a creek. I was quite close to a jogging path which made me a little shy. So I decided to focus this time on the act of undressing, as opposed to my first shoot, in which I embraced the freedom of being fully naked in the outdoors. It was different to my previous shoot in so far as it was rather a closer inspection of each of the individual parts of my body. I feel it reflected the slow peeling back of my own inhibitions over time, and the journey of self-acceptance I have gone through in relation to loving myself and my body."

"I wanted the shoot to be somewhere outdoors, green and leafy. Luckily my housemate had cut down a branch off a tree in our yard and it was a perfect place to frolic. It was also by chance St Patrick's Day so a great opportunity to wear my sexy green dress. The humidity and rain added to the steamy atmosphere in the backyard with would have been a sight for any neighbours in overlooking windows! The drops of rain helped to cool my naked skin and it was cloudy so no chance of sunburn!"

"I shot myself on a deceivingly cold day. The weather looked so lovely and sunny outside but it was just playing mind games on me. In actual fact, it was so cold that I had to warm myself by snuggling up to my beautiful pets while slowly unraveling out of my blanket. I was really sleepy but I had a nice cold ginger beer in my hand, my pretty ferret alongside with my dalmatian and Malamute, so my day was set to hide away and slowly peel my clothes off."

"I had such an amazing time taking my photos. It was such a comfortable and liberating experience to be out in nature and being completely myself. It was a cold day but I was okay with it because it made my nipples look fantastic. It's certainly something I would want to repeat. Now I get to share my naked self in its truest form to other people who appreciate real erotica. All woman have the right to cast aside harsh societal expectations to run wild and free."

"I was intrigued by the project immediately and decided I wanted to be a part of it. Attempting the shoot while living in a share house of six people proved to be very interesting. Looking back in hindsight, I wouldn't have had it any other way. The busy sharehouse provided a challenge for me. I was constantly on the lookout for any passersby in the park outside my window, or any possible visitors outside my closed (but not locked) bedroom door."

"I love taking selfies and pictures of myself, I feel powerful and in control of my own sexuality with the camera in my own hand. I love posing like this but have never shared it with anyone until now! THIS IS MY FIRST TIME! :) I had so much fun shooting myself in the bath, fresh faced with no make up on, in bed, against the city skyline, and playing with my new favorite toy, the Hitachi Magic Wand! I think I'm in love! I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship."

Liza_K really has taken us to a magical place on the tour of her city. Looking right at home amongst the lulling waves and rambling rocks; she is a creature of nature by any right. What a sight it would be to stumble upon a dozing Liza_K drinking in the December rays upon her favorite sun baking stone! The revels now are at an end for both tour guide and tourist, the scene concluding with a sunset as we watch the waves roll in.

"My ISM shoot happened in so many stages. The first time around I deleted most of my photos, feeling really upset that I couldn't portray my sexuality the way that I wanted. During later shoots I really started enjoying the project and even explored my backyard where there are 3 storey townhouses being built around me. I looked for spaces in my yard that were possibly (or not) hidden from the many builders. I got into this project to share the beauty of my body, with the jiggles, cellulite, stretchmarks and all. I fell really satisfied that I did just that. Body shame used to limit my self love, confidence and sexual experiences. As I move further and further from those limitations I am able to do more, express more, and feel so so much more!"

"My favourite thing about winter in Melbourne eating sweet, juicy oranges from the tree in my backyard. I started my shoot outside but soon I started to get pretty chilly, I got goosebumps all over and my nipples went so hard. My hair is so long now it feels so soft and tickley against my skin. I really loved shooting for ISM again, I hope you like my photos too!"

"Ich habe mich anfangs etwas unsicher gefuehlt diese Aufnahmen von mir zu machen. Doch dann ging es immer besser und ich wurde langsam selbstbewusster. Meine Freundin hat mir sehr dabei geholfen mich gut zu fuehlen. Sie hat meinen Koerper echt cool bemalt, das hat echt Spass gemacht! Es ist klasse das ich meine leder Mode in den Shoot reinbringen konnte und so nochmal ganz meinen eigenen Style und meine Liebe zu Mode zur schau bringen konnte. Auch wenn ich es echt gut fand war es trotzdem eine grosse Herausforderung!/I was initially a little uncertain about making these pictures of me. But then it went better and I was getting more confident. My friend helped me a lot to feel good. She has painted my body really cool, that was great fun! It's great that I could bring my pure leather fashion in the shoot and so my own style and my love for fashion could shine through. Although I found it really good it was still a great challenge!"

"An einem sonnigen Samstag habe ich einen Spaziergang gemacht. Auf meinem Weg habe ich viele wunderschoene Plaetze entdeckt. Zum Beispiel einen bezaubernden Wald und eine Wiese auf der ich richtig Lust bekommen habe ein paar Fotos zu machen und meine Haut von der Sonne waermen zu lassen. Auf meinem Rueckweg konnte ich dann nicht wiederstehen mich auf eins der Bauarbeiter Geraete zu setzen und auch dort ein paar Fotos aufzunehmen./ On a sunny Saturday I went for a walk. On my way I've discovered many wonderful places. For example, an enchanting forest and a meadow on which I got in the mood to take a few pictures and warming my skin from the sun. Then on my way back, I could not resist to sit on one of the construction worker's Equipments and take a few photos there."

"I took this folio over the span of a week because I found it difficult to focus and get into the spirit of things. I ended up having/drinking my breakfast and just going about my day and slowly taking photos for this shoot. By the end of all the photos I felt so relaxed and there was a moment in the last photos I took when the sun was just hitting my skin and I just laid out on my balcony in the morning sun."

"Der Tag des Shootings war recht duester, also beschloss ich, die Fotos in meinem Zimmer zu machen, doch das fuehlte sich nicht so richtig an. Eine Freundin hat mir dabei geholfen, so sind wir dann zusammen in einen Park gegangen. Dann hiess es Klamotten weg und los gehts. Meine Freundin rief dann immer, wenn jemand kam "Versteck dich im Busch!" Am Ende entstanden die komischsten Posen mit einem Baum, Blumen oder im Gras. Irgendwann legt man dann die Hemmungen ab und es ist egal, ob dich jemand sieht. Nackt sein hatte fuer mich das Gefuehl von frei sein./The day was pretty rainy so I thought I'm going to shoot in my room, but they didn't really felt right. A friend helped me and she had the idea to go into the park. So we did that and I took off my clothes. She always let me know when some stranger came close to us and called "hide in the bush!". At the end I had some really weird photos with a tree, flowers or grass, but at some point you don't care about it that anyone could see you naked. Being naked gave me the feeling of freedom."
