Taise//"Smokescreen"
"I tried shooting in quite a few places but nothing seemed quite right. In the end I set up my room with a velvet blanket and played around, first with some bones (which didn't seem right somehow) then a little trashy makeup, some incense and an old tail coat. I took a few photos in another room with better light, playing with capturing that light a little better."

Maya_S//"Mellify_Me"
"Slimy, sticky, sweet, cold and sexy all at the same time. I took these photos in a friends backyard. I'm not sure why I decided to drizzle honey all over myself but it definitely was a fun idea. It made my skin really soft too! I loved the old leather couch, epic graffiti art and how absolutely nothing matched. Just a tangent of colours, elements and skin. It was so cold my nipples were hard the whole time and I had to keep drinking hot chai tea (with honey, of course) to keep myself warm and buzzing! I had an awesome time... still finding honey in weird places."

Amilie//"Betamax_Babe"
"I had been wanting to do an ISM shoot in the forest behind my suburb for some time. I took books and colourful material to play around with on what I thought would be a warm day for a Victorian winter. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as lovely as I hoped it would be, and I couldn't fit all of the books and material I wanted to bring in my bag. I took with me just one a transparent piece of material that I love to use in photographs, an artistic pinup book and an old rocky horror show cassette tape. The forest was alive with the sounds of wildlife, which was really relaxing, until I saw a huge bloody kangaroo that scared me half to death. Once I recovered from the surprise I got back to taking my cheeky photos."

Anastasia_J//"Explorador"
"I usually visit new cities with my group of friends, but this time I wanted to walk around on my own. I found an abandoned hotel and started to explore its big, dusty rooms. I loved the place and I wanted to keep memories of that moment. What would be more memorable than taking pictures of myself naked? Unforgettable."

Delilah_E & Lana_A//"live_free_1"
"A couple of weeks ago I met this beautiful new friend named Lana from New Zealand. We are both natural women, and we have a funny connection (both our mothers are always naked, haha!) We both feel very comfortable with our nudity. We decided to shoot at the beach and on some beautiful playful rocks and then we switched theme to circus, colourful and playful. I really enjoyed this shoot and had loads of fun." - Delilah_E

Nat_K//"scifi_sanctuary"
"I shot this in my bedroom during the day, with the blinds wide open (and almost got busted doing it, oops!). I love being naked and trying new things. I would literally be naked all day long if only I wouldn't get arrested for it. I had a lot of fun doing this shoot and am looking forward to more in the future."

Talia-Tay//"lifesaver"
"The first shoot I did was at an alternative lifestyle festival. The festival itself encourages open-mindedness, freedom and for individuals to be themselves. Doing my first "I Shot Myself" shoot in an environment where nothing you do is judged and you are free to do whatever you desire (given that you are being respectful to others of course) in a beautiful setting, allowed me to really enjoy my first shoot and have heaps of fun! The second half of the shoot was done on a beautiful and sunny nude beach. After doing it for the first time, I was more confident this time around. It was heaps of fun at the beach in the sand on a beautiful sunny day. However, trying to hold different positions whilst awkwardly trying to take the photo, not knowing whether I was getting a good shot, proved to be a challenge!"

Peggy_J//"AmpedUp"
"I was playing music a few days ago when I realized it would be so fun to take pictures of myself for my ISM folio with my instruments. Once I ended up on my bed, I grabbed my selenite wand that I use for casting spells and put it in my mouth. Once I did that, I found myself getting turned on and started to masturbate with the wand! This was something I had never thought to do before. I love getting creative with new sexual experiences. I had a lot of fun coming up with sexy outfits to wear and different interesting poses I could maneuver for the camera. At one point, I put on a pair of tights that a lover had ripped open during sex a few weeks ago and put them to good use. Its always so interesting to me to look back at the photos of myself and get a peek at what I look really look like. I didn't put on any makeup for the photos and I had just gotten back from a camping trip so they are very raw and natural. I like being comfortable to present myself this way. I had so much fun taking these photos and was surprisingly turned on by the process!"

Marnie_B//"stripped_down"
"I spend so much time pretending to be someone else, so I wanted to make these photos as raw and real as possible. They’re simply me in my messy yard, being myself without having to worry about what somebody is thinking about me."

Wren_R//"Herstory"
"I love being naked, yet this is the first time I've ever explored my body in this way before. I loved playing around with angles and lighting and despite my limited environment, I really had so much fun. Learning how to take pictures with my toes while balancing the camera with my feet was certainly a new experience. I can't tell you the number of times I almost dropped it on my face! I really really enjoyed the shoot though. The fairy lights were fun and showed a bit of my personality. I also loved all the full body shots where I could really display my body. I hope you enjoy my shoot as much as I did!"

jenny_p//"sing_with_me" Video
"Taking part in the ISM video shoot was an opportunity I instantly jumped at. It is a truly liberating experience and I decided to do a segment on singing because it is something that has been an enormous part of my life from a young age and music is something I have a strong connection with. Putting the cold and sore throat aside, I hope it was an enjoyable few minutes and may have even encouraged you to listen to the original of 'Send in the Clowns' as it is a heartbreakingly beautiful track."

Rose_W//"Violoni"
"Playing cello is one of the biggest passions in my life, so naturally I wanted to show this in my IShotMyself shoot. It was a bitterly cold winter night so I set myself up next to the fire in my stockings and woolen jumper to keep me warm. When I play cello, I feel free, and when I play naked I feel the vibration of the strings lingering in my body with every note. Feeling the horsehair of the bow against my bare skin gave me a ticklish, sensual thrill."

Paulina//"Komfortzone"
"Neue Dinge auszuprobieren und meine comfort zone zu verlassen ist ein grosser Teil meines Lebens. Fotos von mir selbst zu machen war eine interessante und witzige Erfahrung. Waehrend des shoots konnte ich merken wie mein Sebstbewusstsein stieg und ich mehr und mehr Ideen bekam. Einmal habe ich mich so verrenkt, dass ich fast aus dem Bett gefallen waehre./Trying new things and leaving my comfort zone is a big part of my life. Taking nude pics of myself was interesting and funny. My friend I was staying with didn't know about the shoot so I had to hide a little bit or do pics when she wasn't there. That made it even more exciting than it was anyway. It was fun finding new positions and during the shoot, I could feel my confidence rising and got more and more ideas. Once the position was so weird that I almost fell out of bed."

Beri//"Red_Planet"
"Unusually for me I woke up at 3am, meditated for a bit and then felt the strong desire to go for a dance and watch the sun rise. I felt so ethereal on my way home and when I came across two red paintings next to some rubbish I felt inspired make my Red Planet shoot. I’ve been thinking a lot about the objectification of women and my part in it. Without imposing anything on myself I felt myself let go of my resistance to objectifying myself and I dived into making a fantasy fuelled exploration of my body. As I was doing my makeup I imagined I was some sort of alien goddess about to return to my Red Planet! I really got to step out of my mundane me and allow myself to feel a deeper sensuality with my camera in hand. I have a book of black & white nudes that I like to take inspiration from for my shoots and to make collages with. I liked playing around taking photos with the collages and I’m thinking about taking this concept further in another shoot, an image within an image within an image..."
