eavie//"buttonbrush"
"I had a lot of fun experimenting with my shoot this time around. I found it much easier since I'd already done two before, so the shots and angles just seemed to come naturally to me. I played around with material, flowers, shells, and bits and pieces I found in my house. The mirror was my favourite though, as you can probably tell, since it's throughout my entire shoot. I liked placing it in all sorts of places, the weather was perfect and the shots were, in the end, quite lovely."

louise_l//"5am"
"Well, that was a lot of fun!! However, I'm pretty knackered now... I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning to capture the beautiful warm sunrise, but also to avoid suspicious looks from the neighbours who we share the rooftop garden with. It's actually harder thank it looks too - there's only so much you can get in shot with just an arm! I thoroughly enjoyed myself though and have some lovely memories to look back on too!"

mimi_xicu_&_roxee//"pour_elles_1"
"Faire ce genre de chose avec une amie a ete bien plus amusant et surprenant que je ne le pensais. En effet, on doit relativiser enromement les choses comme etre nue avec sa meilleure amie dans une douche .. On apprend a s'y faire et on en rigole. Les idees nous sont venues comme ca. On voulait faire quelque chose d'original qui n'etait pas seulement d'exposer son corps pur quelque billet. On voulait pouvoir en etre fiere d'une certaine facon."-Roxee

kaylee//"authentica"
"I did two different shoots for this folio, one in nature and one in suburbia. The forest shoot was by far my favourite. I was just so much more uninhibited when it was just me, trees, butterflies, a mirror and the camera. I loved seeing how sexy and powerful I can be. I felt natural, raw and like I was connected to my authentic tribal nature."

Luce//"del_sole"
"Mi sono svegliata decisamente emozionata questa mattina. La curiosita per la nuova esperienza che mi attendeva era tanta. Il sole splendeva su e lo mi sentivo piena di energia e carica emotiva. Una doccia veloce dopo e pronta a partire per l'avventura che mi stava aspettando. Di sentirmi a disagio in una situazione nuova come questa e invece e stato tutto molto e invece e carino. Sono molto felice di aver scoperto grazie a questo progetto una altra parte di me che mi covo. Ancora sono davvero soddisfatta di questo!"

chrissy//"warm_welcome"
"I finally had a shower kid-free, and decided to relax in my lounge. Started to play around with the camera and undressing myself. I noticed that the kids had left their paint kit out and thought that some self finger-painting was in order. The weather was starting to warm up, the sun was stating to come out and then hiding away. It was great to have such a playful afternoon and wind down from a full on crazy week with the kids. I hope you all enjoy my shoot and I’m so glad to come back again!"

jay_n//"safety_off"
"On a typically "Melbourne weather" day in the northern suburbs, I shot myself. I didn't eat before the shoot because I was too excited to get started. I wore my derby gear with no socks and no padding underneath so I could feel raw. One minute it was sunny and I was smiling and the next, I felt pelted by rain, standing by a fence or a brick, letting the real me emerge, captured by the lense. I shot myself, kneeling on the concrete, in the rain. The feeling was...real, intense, free."

lia_k//"citronnier"
"Me prendre en photo nue dans un jardin fut une tres belle experience pour moi. La chaleur des rayons du soleil sur ma peau, la fraicheur de l'herbe a l'ombre du citronnier... C'est une sensation etrange et finalement tellement liberatrice. Quoi de plus naturel quand on y pense!//Shooting me naked in a garden was a beautiful experience for me. The heat of sunrays on my skin, the coolness of grass under the lemon tree's shade... Strange feeling and at the end so liberating. Such a natural thing to do when we think about it!"

kayla_l//"tightrope"
"I got a nasty rope burn in a few places across my body, especially my breasts, as they're very sensitive. I especially loved it when I wrapped the rope around my head because it made my hair look awesome. I loved the feel of the rope in my mouth, I always just wanted to bite down as hard as I could. Those little pleasures make such a big difference. I'll never forget the feel of my boobs being really tightly tied up, it made them feel weird fake squished, which was unlike anything I've felt before which was a massive turn on for me. I think I’ve just found my new fetish..."

omo//"corporeality1" Video
At HQ, we're torn between admiration of Omo's perfect, fluid movements and beautiful body and the feeling that we too should get out of our computer chairs and be concious of our own bodies. We've compromised - stretching while we watch Omo dance is the best of both worlds, getting our blood moving in all the best ways.

joy_m//"ardour"
"Very beautiful experience, at the beginning I was a bit prudish. I noticed that the pictures reflected my emotions. The more pictures I took, the more I felt comfortable with my body. When I was at home in my large bulding, I had to open the curtain for the light.. Neighbors are able to see me... my god. Nudity is something very natural, never mind the ones who will care. And not easy city to find a peaceful place to take pictures outside. Energetic and fun... I would like to repeat the experience 10 years later..."

pearline//"centerfold"
Oh Pearline, we sing your praises - of fast food and fast cars, good girls, bad girls, and nonchalantly erotic elegance. Finding this shoot in the archives, untouched, unedited, pristine, was like finding a diamond in a hot dog. Downright sublime. Stop me if you know this, Pearline, but none of those photoshopped models can hold a candle to you, naked under the flash, gripping a hamburger like your life depends on it. Extra hot.

Ollivia//"epitaph"
"Anyone who knows me could tell you I'm a horror movie buff, so I jumped at the opportunity to bare all in the cemetery. I actually chose a day that would be fairly sunny & not too cold... because cold marble doesn't feel the best on bare skin. I took a buddy along to help me keep a lookout for any accidental onlookers, one car drove past but luckily I was out of sight by then. Everything worked out great, the weather was probably a bit too great as I burnt my butt against the marble from a tomb stone. The mixed feeling of excitement and taboo caused such an adrenaline rush."

aladdin_&_gaiah//"lucesensuale_2"
"Doing this shoot in our house was pretty risky cause we live with some friends.... And of course they caught us making love in our living room on the surfboard! His reaction was hilarious... he just ran away yelling “SORRY GUYS!”! So then we had the house all for us! It was interesting to experiment with all the different angles we could get ourselves into.... Watching how we look when we make love, see how he touched my bum or how he looked at me from behind. We had also a lot of fun, playing, laughing, cuddling and making funny pictures. -Gaiah
