New Releases

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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..."

"I took these photos outside my dad's house. It was nice and warm and I really enjoyed taking these photos and thinking of all the different parts of my body I could shoot. I also took these photos because I wanted to be a part of the website, I love that it's so arty and accepting of natural beauty."

"I wanted to explore how different materials looked in the light and shadow. It was a very stationary shoot and the day was super hot, so trying to get things to stick and hold to my sweaty skin was an interesting feat. I wanted to see how different materials reacted to the light but also to my skin, the clamminess of the cling wrap and how it feels when your skin can breath again after it's gone. The way the tape sticks, or doesn't, and how it feels to slowly rip it off. I was very conscious in this shoot of the curves of my body and the way certain materials restricted and pulled the flesh in different directions."

"I was immediately interested in this project as it is all about body confidence and empowering women of all shapes and sizes. After checking out the website I soon became very comfortable with the idea of contributing. The pictures I saw online were so beautiful I was drawn to get involved with the positive vibe. I live in a shared apartment so there was a time I was upside down, naked in the mirror when my flat mate walked in. It was a hilarious moment and the story keeps being re-told!"

"I was having hard time to find place to shoot. I was thinking about doing it at the beach, since I am total beach bum, but kind of hard to find an isolated beach. Second options was to do it at a rave in the forest, but after having so much fun I never got time for it at the rave. In the end the shooting took place in my friend's garden. I had just been to a psytrance festival and was thinking 'why not wear my homemade skirt that I was happily wearing at the rave dancing around like an angel?' So why not do the same thing again, but this time naked. I was enjoying every moment and actually was laughing as much as I did at the rave."

""J'ai pris ces photos pendant mes vacances en France autours de ma maison (oui je sais, mon jardin est trop bien!). Je ne voulais pas refaire de photo en intérieur et comme ici c'est l'été et les champs sont magnifiques, il fait beau et chaud et la lumiére est bien mieux. J'ai du courir et pas mal me cacher à cause du fermier qui passait et repassait sur son tracteur, mais ça n'a rendu l'expérience que plus drole. Je me sentais super bien aprés. Comme toujours! I shot this one on my holidays in France around my house. (I know, my garden is pretty awesome!). I didn't want to shoot inside again and as it's summer here the fields are awesome, it's nice and warm and the light is much better. I had to run and hide a lot because of the farmer driving past again and again on his tractor but it only made it more fun! Felt awesome afterwards. As always!"

"The shoot took place in my garden. It was a Wind in the Willows inspired picnic, a lazy afternoon in the sun. Books, pillows, a lamp and flowers made up the props on the delicate pink coloured blanket. It has a soft, easy and relaxed feel, simply at rest and calm and enjoying life. I had a lot of fun doing the shoot and was surprised at how much it gave me confidence to feel comfortable with and proud of my body!"

"My favourite thing about this shoot is that my friend and I did it together! The first place we both shot our photos was in a park early in the morning. We were rather apprehensive at the begining and a little cowardly about taking our clothes off. Yet, all of a sudden it became like a game of chicken between us. Who would take their clothes off first? What a daring place to take your clothes off too!"

"I shot these pictures in a friend's backyard full of random signs, mirrors, objects and fitness equipment. This gave me plenty of props to play with. My favorite was the scary clown, it was such a contrast! He is dressed up on a scarecrow's body in the garden just asking to be played with. The name 'Wanderland' came to mind from the mirror I used and the random items I came across as I 'wandered' what would come to mind next. The cat, Felipe, was so curious seeing himself in the mirror that he positioned himself perfectly in some of the shots. Pussy covering pussy!"

"I always love contrast and wanted to include this within my folio. For me, baring it all included not only removing all of my clothes, but stripping off my make-up, ending up 100% natural in some of the shots. For me this was more exposing than just removing my clothes, but I felt truly free as I did so. So my contrast was dolled up vs. stripped down and I tried to mix this through my folio. I also included my two beautiful pets, Florence the rabbit and Lily the kitten. They are of great importance to me, and I felt Florence tied into my theme of stripped down and natural. She is a proper rabbit, big, beautiful, and real."
