Ahh, the old classic. A pout, a moue, The Look - whatever you call it, a woman who sets her lips in just the right way can bring HQ down to its metaphorical knees, wrapping us all the way around her little finger. Just see if you can resist - it starts with photo #9, and doesn't let up until Venus is good and ready to let you up.

"This folio is brought to you by the untamed and free spirit of the mountains. Roaming the northwest, I have found comfort in solitude, and I yearn to be in these places where the air is fresh and satisfying. Without the running of motors and the chatter of gossip, the snow melts into waterfalls... the animals walk through the forest... the natural pulse of life pushes music through my body... I am here... special, unique, one, I am endemic to the wild."

"c'etait tres difficile de se cacher des autres personnes vivant dans la maison. J'etais placee entre mes voisins, mes collococataires et les gens marchant dans la rue. De cette maniere, je devais attendre le bon moment pour me dehabiller, et je gardais mes habits toujours prets seulement descendus sur mes chevilles. It was really hard to be hidden from the other people in the house. I was in-between my neighbours, my housemates and people walking in the street. So I had to wait until they passed to get naked. I had clothes around my ankles at all times."

"Hanging out with my best friend - naked. Great! We're never really clothed around each other... Emily Ray even says, 'it's weird when we hang out together clothed!' It's normal for us; nakedness. I hope it brightens someone's day - we had so much fun doing it. It was a bit of an adrenaline rush too." - Charli B

"I wanted the shoot to have a feminine, lacy kind of feel. I used heaps of candles and fairy lights to try and get a warm atmosphere, but it was hard to get a lot of shots in focus with such soft lighting. Shooting made me feel very feminine and very sexy, and more comfortable with my body 'cause I had to see it all the time."

"I blocked off my whole living room and just went crazy rolling around over the chairs and everything. My friends were like walking by to get some tea and I was just rolling around naked. We're pretty comfortable with each other. I brush my teeth while they're in the shower and we don't even have a shower curtain."

"Fruhling ist meine Lieblings-Jahreszeit! Die sonne und der Geruch Blumen das Gefuhl, die Welt erwacht zum ist wundervoll. Sich ohne Kleidung auf duftendem Gras zu sonnen lasst Schmetterlinge im Bauch fliegen. Nichts fuhlt sich mehr nach Freiheit an, als alleine nackt durch die Natur zu laufen. Die Art, wie das Gras zwischen den Zehen anfuhlt, der Geruch nach Baumen und das Vogelgezwitscher in den Baumen lasst mich lebendig fuhlen. Das war wirklich ein schone Tag."

Gizelle's fairytale autumn day seems endless, hours and hours slowed down like honey as Gizelle moves and dances and interacts with her own camera, slowly, gracefully. Gizelle Z's easygoing, relaxed sensuality puts us in the same mood - for the rest of the day we'll be acutely consciousness of the physicality of our bodies under our clothes.

"I wanted to make myself appear like a statue - I've gained a lot of newfound confidence in the last month so I wanted to convey that through the photos. Looking back through and being happy with the results was the most rewarding. I've recently competed in a body sculpting competition and I was really proud to receive one of their golden-ey bronze statue-trophies. This was another exercise in body pride."

"For this shoot, I wanted to show a different side of my sexual personality; something a little more grungy, something a little more hard and rough. Using the tape to me seemed quite erotic, it hurt, it was constricting but it was fun. I had the idea of filming myself taking photos because I thought it would show an interesting interaction between the camera and myself; multi layers of interaction with different mediums to provide an insight into the process of semi-erotic self portraiture."

"Life Lesson #669: If you're going to shoot yourself nude, make sure it’s not autumn... it’s freezing! I shot on the day we were having a huge party at the share house I live in so I had to close off the backyard for a couple hours, which made my housemates quite curious. In keeping with the party theme, I decided to warm up a bit first by throwing myself a little tea party..."

"I shot this portfolio in my new apartment in the Dallas, Texas area. I had a very stressful day just the previous day, and wanted to relax through painting my apartment walls and photographing myself. It's such a stress reliever to produce art and focus on such technical painting."

"Funnily enough, my grandmother actually gave that figure to me. I love white against my skin. I was just walking past and I decided to get naked and do my shoot with the little dog. He kind of looks like he's just watching the show. Just having more confidence this time around was probably a highlight. I didn't have sex straight afterwards this time. I got on a train and went straight to my grandparents. Apparently nothing shocks my Nanna anymore, but I think this might."

"For my folio, I decided to do a bit of public nudity around my neck of the woods. It was really exciting but a bit embarrassing too since I was fully starkers in the street while many people passed by. Most people just looked away, but one lady just stopped and stared at me. Needless to say, I got out of there quick smart! I liked how the camera made me look when shooting outside. I also love my fanny and loved photographing it!"

A golden autumn day sets off Gizelle Z's tawny beauty to perfection. Using her bag of photographer's tricks, Gizelle picks, chooses, and documents the things she likes best about herself, sending them across the world to share with us. As the spring flowers grow around our feet, we watch the leaves fall down around Gizelle Z, wondering at the simplicity of our modern magics.
