manko//"last_heiress_1" Video
"I shot this video in Rarotonga, an idyllic Polynesian bit of paradise, but don't expect picture postcard beach locations - it gets much more exciting (for me, anyway). I'm in an abandoned resort! The local shaman tells me the land it's built on was cursed to bring financial ruin. Now Sheraton is being reclaimed by the jungle and is a spooky hangout for "bad kids", so your Manko fit right in!"

Renae//"sol_y_playa"
"I shot this folio on the beach near my house in Southern Spain on a few warm autumn days. It is so perfect because all the crowds are gone, and only the occasional fisherman is around to spot you. I climbed trees and towers and walls and rocky outcroppings to take these photos, and even bled a little. It was one of the best days at the beach I have had all year."

Merris//"double_drama"
"I wasn't nervous about shooting myself naked, I felt rather confident and the duration of the photo involved lots of moving around, trying the camera from different angles. I live with two other girls, but I took the photos while they were out of the house. I was limited as to where I could shoot, for example not having a long mirror, but I like to think I improvised well using techniques that I have learned over the years from interpretative dancing."

Michelle_C//"skyline_en_ville"
"J'aime vivre en ville. Il n'y a rien de mieux que de se ballader a travers les impressionantes constructions et s'arreter ca et la pour prendre des photos. Je me laisse imaginer comment la vie serait si je vivais. Je me vois aller a la fac ici, rencontrer mes amis la, et juste vivre au quotidien dans cette ville. J'espere que vous avez apprecie la vue sur la skyline de cette ville geniale et ce que je montre sur les photos. I love living in the city. There's nothing better than walking through the massive buildings and stopping to take pictures to pass the time. I love to picture myself living there permanently. Imagining myself going to uni there, meeting new friends there, and just living my everyday life in that city. I hope you enjoy the skyline view of my beautiful city, and my naked self too. "

Julia_M//"public_minded"
"I hired two girlfriends as bodyguards and ventured into the Botanical Gardens, going commando, ready to drop whenever I felt inspired. I was a wood fairy near the waterfalls, some naked chick hanging off a tree branch and accidentally mooned a group of happy travellers who loved the idea of the shoot. It's been an amazingly liberating experience. Throughout the week no animals were harmed, one garden gnome died..."

Junipur//"milk_maid"
"Today was the first day I've had off from babysitting in quite a long time. I spent the day at a girlfriend's house and got naked outside while she played her guitar under a tree. My mind was clear and happy and at peace, it felt good to finally catch a break. My girlfriend decided to get naked too, just for the heck of it. We lost track of time and her Mom came home from work and caught her daughter rolling around the yard naked. I don't think she saw me but I still blushed pretty hard when I had to face her in the house later on!"

Kira_P//"CATism"
"The camera and the mirror are the explosive mixture :) When you love being shot, when you know that you have a huge mirror and a good camera then you begin just to dream about making tones of different pictures! This is about me. And the thought of making totally naked ones drove me crazy, so here's what I've got."

Ariella//"best_laid_plans"
"An overcast and rainy day sent me to my friend's house instead of the beach I had planned on. In the end, it worked out perfectly. I feel so at home there, and that definitely had an effect on my pictures. During the shoot, my friend's housemate walked into the living room while I was in an 'interesting' position with the camera. After an embarrassed explanation of the situation, she became very helpful in suggesting pictures I could be taking. What I thought was going to be a disaster due to the weather became a really fun day, and a great experience!"

Erial//"glimmer_gone"
"I am a fairy at heart, amongst my friends I am known as 'fairy'. I always knew they existed. I felt trough to my inner self through out the shoot. It was easy to capture my fairy-like elements, floating, free, earthy, fun, colourful, happy and feminine. The essence of beautiful energy, flowing from the core and radiates through to the outside."

Astrid_E//"out_of_self"
"I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of I Shot Myself, I am loving the way it brought me out of my shell and gave me a fresh perspective on both my own body and bodies in general. I am so happy to know the naked form is being celebrated because everyone has one and they're all divine!"

Laura_B//"clip_trick"
"Es wurde zum Glueck warm, denn das shooting war drausen. Ich hatte ein paar Spiegel in einem Garten mit Stuehlen und es war ganz schoen schwer am Anfang sich selber gut zu treffen und nach ein paar Bildern gehen einem die Ideen aus, aber man muss einfach viel ausprobieren und Ratschlaege annehmen./ It was a little bit cold at the beginning but luckily it got warmer during the shoot. The shoot was outside in a garden with all the laundry stuff. At the beginning it was hard to get myself in a good angle and I wasn't that creative at first. But I got used to it after a while and it got better and I just had to try different things."

dwam//"ellipse_2" Video
We love to see Dwam's evolution, as her style grows and changes, her body, progressively illustrated, her hair, her stories, her tastes. With this fascinating video, intriguingly edited so that Dwam flashes from nude to clothed and back again, we get a glimpse of her current incarnation, dark and modern, sharp and confident.

Lulu_Z//"naked_face"
"In my shoot I'm not wearing any makeup really and that's because if I was going to shoot myself I wanted to not just be bare and completely naked with my body, but my face as well. There was one point I was right by the window standing up taking a photo and I didn't realize my neighbor was watching, I started laughing and just waved. I think he was quite shocked and bit terrified, I thought it was hilarious."

Shosanna//"cast_me_away"
"I chose here for its sandy cliffs and rough rock formations that would contrast with my naked body and so I could play in and out of the caves whilst not totally hidden. I really did feel like a castaway once I started to use the rope. More than a few times a helicopter flew low above me and I noticed other people's curiosity, in particular a man who was also naked, hovering around my spots. It added an exciting element. I couldn't help developing Pirates of the Caribbean-esque fantasies of being captured by more than just the camera..."

Maxyne//"summer_drop"
"I just moved house and now live in the most beautiful room. The big windows let in the warm morning sun which is prefect for lazy sleep-ins and frolics. I had a lot of fun shooting in this new space and sharing my morning with you. The video aspect was a great challenge.. it made the shoot just that little more intimate and personal. I'm really happy with the finished shoot. It's nice to see how the images and footage intertwine to make a really pretty whole." Members, click to see Maxyne's beautiful video.
