New Releases

"Recently, my psychotherapist said that I have borderline personality disorder. This is when all emotions are felt twice as intense, but at the same time you do not feel like a master of your own body, when you can confuse love with fear and much more. One of the main forms of treatment is total self-acceptance. While I was taking pictures, I enjoyed my body, learned to love it more, accepted what once seemed disgusting to me. I realized that this is my home, it's an amazing feeling of warmth and tranquility. When I finished, I had incredible gratitude towards the project, this is another step towards my recovery! Thank you!!"

"I shot the majority of these photos in my bedroom, my safe place where I know I can be myself and express myself in any way I wish. I had a lot of fun taking these pictures and it definitely helped my self-confidence. My cat kept running into my room and interrupting me during taking photos which made the process way longer than necessary lol. I really enjoyed the process of taking photos and being by myself definitely allowed me to calm my nerves about taking nude photographs."

"I'm a musician, playing trumpet in an orchestra, and I travel a lot with my rock band. We went for a walk, enjoying the beautiful decorations of the city. I loved the view from where I was staying, and absolutely adore the big panorama windows. It was very bright and warm so I got inspired and decided to take some selfies. But I couldn't stop at one picture of course so I got naked and really enjoyed the process. I'm happy I could share my day with you."

"This was my favourite shoot to date. I'm in my new place, and I think it reflects how happy I am in the environment I have created for myself and the self-love and confidence that has grown over the past year. I love all my plants and mirrors and knick-knacks, so it was so lovely to take pretty photos that felt very 'me'. Looking back on these photos afterward made me so happy because I didn't feel nearly as exposed as I usually do, I love how beautiful I feel in them and how comfortable I'm becoming in my own (naked!) skin :)."

"It's like coming with me on a morning walk. I was waking up during this, and the ocean is what really shook me about, as always! It was slightly awkward in the beginning. But then I realised that this is exactly where I feel comfortable as me: on the beach, in the water, and preferably mostly naked. The ocean always brings me back to myself. I started playing and actually got pretty heated up a few times. Every now and then someone would pass by which in the beginning would snap me out of it, but I think in the end I didn't even notice anymore."

"The lounge room is where I do all the things I love to do on my days off! I love to read, draw and play guitar. I wanted to incorporate these things into my shoot to feel natural and at home in my space. This shoot made me feel so liberated and excited and at home in my own body which is something I always am striving to do. I learnt that I was allowed to be silly and that was a really great way to get comfortable with myself and my own nakedness."

"So here I am, back in my family's house, a place I grew up. For two years I haven't slept in this bed. I smell my wardrobe again...a mix of incense and rosemary. I clean the dust from my old paintings. I check my old diaries and cry a bit because I realize at the end of this year the family is gonna move to another city and I'll probably never come back to this room again. I felt so cozy and confident to start shooting myself. Suddenly I remember the first time I made love in this bed...it was with my first girlfriend back in 2014. I felt so honored to keep exploring my sexualty in this place, at least for one more time."

"Tomé estas fotos en dos mañanas de otoño. La sala y el patio son los únicos lugares cálidos donde uno puede desvestirse a esta hora. Empecé a hacer fotos en la habitación después de un té con canela y dátiles, y cuando los primeros rayos dieron en el sillón, dejé las mantas y me fui con el espejo a disfrutar de mi cuerpo en el calorcito. Es mi lugar favorito por las mañanas, vacío la mente, escucho música y cojo fuerzas para empezar el día. / I took these photos on two autumn mornings. The living room and the patio are the only warm places where one can undress at this time. I started taking photos in the room after a tea with cinnamon and dates, and when the first rays hit the armchair, I left my blankets and went with the mirror to enjoy my body in the warmth. It is my favorite place in the mornings, I empty my mind, listen to music and gather powers to start the day."

"This was a cozy shoot to make on a misty and wet day. I got my fire going really hot, made a cup of tea and put on my music. Slowly allowing myself to feel into my body and allowed the chatter in my mind to fade. This shoot brought me back into my being and was such a needed check in with my body. I was rolling around on soft blankets, gently touching myself, dancing and drinking warm tea. I slept so well this night and woke up the next day feeling so light, free and reconnected with myself."

"I first shot for ISM when I was a wild and free 19 year old, now I have travelled the world and tatted up and although I am not settling down, I am going to have a baby! I am 14 weeks in these photos and feeling so comfortable and happy and full of life, literally! I decided to be a Single Mother By Choice as I have been ready for so many years, and I want my child and I to have complete freedom to explore and experience the world together! So my miracle little donor baby and I are here to show you today that you can make your own reality. I am so pleased to be able to share these photos with you, to hopefully bring some love and light into your life. I hope you have as much fun looking at them as I did making them!"

"With a few deadlines coming up, I welcomed the opportunity to play around with the camera and take my mind off the stressful stuff. I realised how I was conditioned by mainstream media to pose and effectively appear 'sexier', so it actually took some getting used to capturing myself in the manner you now see. Sometimes, I become distressed at the way the colour of my skin, or my relatively petite body, can be fetishised. Through these images, I see myself simply as I am - a woman with ancestors from another continent who had something to do with my body's appearance today."

"In ordinary life, not much time can be devoted to getting to know your body, and this experience turned me onto exploring myself more. I'm not currently in a relationship, but I often have thoughts about sex. Usually I sublimate these thoughts into work and creativity. When I shot this it was also like sublimation and experiencing these feelings. It gave me pleasure. This is also an amazing experience of accepting myself in the era of Instagram, where we are surrounded by ideal people. Seeing myself unfiltered was really important and I'm glad I did this."

"It was a beautiful sunny day. I woke up and decided to read a book first. I was in a fairly playful mood and wanted to take pictures. Next I had my daily exercise routine planned. I felt a rush of energy and good mood. I went to the mirror to look at myself and I was so turned on by how I looked that I couldn't resist taking a picture. After my delicious breakfast I went to the balcony to paint. This is my favorite thing, because when I paint my imagination develops. After I finished painting, my mood was high and I took a picture of myself. After all, I am my muse. It was a wonderful day."

"I have been thinking a lot about the theme of self love recently. True self love to me is holding your own hand, compassionately, always. I wanted to create a space to nurture this kind of deep and abounding love of self. To feel sensual, I like to be surrounded by objects that remind me of what sacred love can look and feel like: my Palo Santo incense, my records, my lavender oil, my mementos of uniqueness and magic, like Tarot, my dragonfly and dreamcatcher, and of course, a love flavoured tisane. Inner embodies outer and vice versa, after all."

"My bedroom is my prettiest, safest, most peaceful place in my life and I felt so pretty and like myself while shooting in my special space. I thought about how beautiful my body looks, and how much better I feel about myself than when I shot for this project a few years back. While taking photos in the mirror, seeing myself legs spread like that got me really turned on. I'm excited to share these photos to be enjoyed by others, not just myself."
