New Releases

"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."

"Red is a fun, bright and sexy colour. I wanted to let these qualities shine through in my shoot, so I used my red kimono, lipstick, nails, bedspread, candle & rose. I made sure to do my shoot in a comfortable environment, where I could have some fun with it. My room was the perfect place. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them."

"I've just recently moved in to a new place and still hadn't gotten rid of the stuff I had used to pack with. I thought the packaging would be a really fun photo shoot, almost like I was being packed to come and visit you. I never realized how naughty packing peanuts were though! They don't like to stay where you put them! They're so comfortable to lie on though and they're nice a warm, like little bubbles of heat."

"J'ai entendu parler de ishot par un amis, puis j'ai eu l'idee de faire le shoot sur mon balcon qui contient une baignoir remplis de coussins. Mais c'est l'hiver donc il fait plutot froid et je suis deja un peu malade. Alors je l'ai fait dans ma chambre avec quelques bougies pour me sentir plus a l'aise. /I heard about Ishotmyself by a friend, then I though about doing it on my balcony who got a bath full of pillows. But it winter at the moment, so it's cold and I'm a bit sick. So I decided to do in my room with some candles on for feeled more comfy."

"I chose to involve my passion for music in this shoot because I felt comfortable shooting myself surrounded by the things I love most. I've always wanted to do something involving a model splayed out amongst a pile of records with my own photography, so it was especially fun using myself as the model! This shoot is an accurate expression of myself and the things that inspire me most in life to be creative."

"I decided to do my shoot in the rainforest, as I feel a strong connection to it and it feels natural to be naked there. All of the bullshit of everyday life kind of melts away in that place. Then I got about six leeches on me and decided to take the rest indoors. (Luckily they were on my legs and not elsewhere). I have named this folio Lady_Jane in reference to Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence. To me, this is symbolic of embracing one's self as a sexual being regardless of social stigmas, pressures and attitudes."

"Yo estaba sola en mi cuarto descansada y reciuen salida de la ducha despues me saquye un par de fotos fui a trabajar volvi a mi casa y me saque un par mas. Hize estp durante 5 dias acada vez que estaba sola en mi cuarto me sacaba mas fotos desnuda./ I was alone in my room, just got out of the shower and I started shooting myself. Then I went to work and when I came back home I shoot myself again. I did this for around a week, every time I was alone in my room I just shot myself."

"I'm not the best girl guide in the world" Jacqui says, but neither that nor the 3 degree weather in the forest had stopped her from getting her gear off to build us a nice, warm campfire. Good thing that she had a friend who captured it all on film... because as much as we would have loved to join in the fun, trees a crowd.

"I felt slightly bizarre taking shots in a house that was not my own. Yet I found it gave my shoot an adventurous feel, as I frolicked through an unfamiliar house. I was exploring different rooms, angles and mirrors. I enjoyed taking photos in the sunshine. The winter breeze kept goosebumps cascading across my skin, but the the suns warm glow bought me back to the present moment, releasing and warming my base chakra. Photos in the sun left me exposed to the neighbours. Though my shots in the bright light didn't always work, I enjoyed playing with the sun. Letting it reflect on my skin, hiding parts of me in the bright brilliant light. I loved being in the suspended chair in the backyard. Floating a few feet above the earth, watching the light play and dance across my skin.I spent a lot of time focusing on breath and movement as I would in yoga. Not being concerned about unfocused shots. Simply, just receiving breath and moving with it as I flowed throughout the day. I can't wait to shoot myself again - to explore different parts of myself and experiment with a different environment."

"During this shoot, I had a lot of fun discovering myself and gaining confidence. It was a bit scary at first, but public nudity is exhilirating and I love that adrenaline rush! Using the mirror and trying to balance the camera was the hardest part. Now afterwards, I feel like I've achieved something and feel more confident in my body and self. A different experience from my last shoot, but beautiful and fun nonetheless."
