New Releases

"I took photos in a rented apartment, because my own apartment is not suitable for shooting in. I shot this at noon and I was in a good mood. My thoughts were about how beautiful and attractive I am. I loved the reflection in the mirror. I felt great after the shooting, because in the process I felt even more attractive than usual, more feminine and sexy. Such photographs make it clear that you are special and unique. The selfie format is a completely different perception and vision for yourself in contrast to shooting with a photographer."

"This was my third ISM shoot, I was at home while my flatmates were at work. Our house is epic, you'll see all the exposed brick and massive windows in these photos. We have an enormous glass top coffee table which I centered the shoot around because I loved the way its hard angles contrasted with my soft body. I also found that the way it cast shadows was kinda gorgeous. I honestly just got home from lunch, turned the heaters on, more or less ripped my clothes off and started taking photos, without tidying anything (including myself, haha) so this shoot is about as real as it gets. Things are strewn around, there is laundry. Mind you I did clean the table top before rubbing my stuff all over it!!"

"This was my second experience shooting for ISM. I moved to a new apartment. This apartment has more light and a large balcony. I decided to start the photo shoot in clothes first. The weather was very good outside, I was very happy and thought that the photos would turn out wonderful. But even in this bright apartment there is a minus - the neighbors. It was difficult for a long time to take a nude photo because I constantly thought that the neighbors could see me. But on the other hand, it was an interesting experience. There were flowers in a vase on my balcony and I decided to use them in my photo shoot. I am satisfied with the result, thank you for this opportunity."

"Starting off this project I didn't expect it to have such a positive outcome on me, it is a beautiful thing to look at your body from beyond a sexual experience and see myself in a light I never have before, embracing my insecurities and just being myself, no posing, filters or makeup. We should all love ourselves. I hope in these photos you can feel the euphoria and warmth I was feeling while opening myself up this way. I am forever grateful for vulnerability, to me this is such a unique but important experience, I wish we could see outside of a "good" or "bad" body and just see the soul inside."

"I took these photos at home. Different parts of the apartment began to play with new colors for me, and for the first time I examined my apartment so well. During the photo shoot, I thought about female beauty, that real beauty is inside everyone, it is in the little things. I thought about how you can rearrange the furniture in the house for more comfort. During the shoot, I imagined myself as an artist who paints a picture, and I was insanely inspired by each new frame and ideas popped up in my head one after another. After the shoot, I was a little devastated, as if I had worked the day in the office and had many business meetings, but soon when I started reviewing my shoot, I smiled, praised myself for the excellent shots and it reminded me that I love myself very much and accept my beauty."

"Esta selección de fotos realmente ha sido un gran desafío para mí, desde hace tiempo tenía ganas de hacer algo así, pero la vida pasa. Cuando por fin tuve el lugar, la luz, la tranquilidad para hacerlo, me dieron una mala noticia. Por estos motivos, fue para mí un desafío total mostrarme desde la total transparencia de atravesar situaciones difíciles... Soy activista de las trabajadoras sexuales de derecha desde hace más de 23 años. Hay tanta lucha que nos deja en lugares difíciles, viviendo diariamente el estigma y la precariedad absoluta, lo que nuevamente se convierte en un desafío ya que es la primera vez que asumo esto como un arte, además de que mi público La presentación siempre ha sido en entornos formales, como universidades, foros legislativos... por eso, considero un verdadero trabajo intentar tomar las mejores fotografías posibles desde el empoderamiento mismo de que mi cuerpo es mío. / This selection of photos has truly been a great challenge for me, for some time I have been wanting to do something like this, but life happens. When I finally had the place, the light, the tranquility to do it, I got given some bad news. For these reasons, it was a total challenge for me to show myself from the total transparency of going through difficult situations... I have been an activist for the right-wing sex workers for more than 23 years. There is so much struggle that leaves us in difficult places, living the stigma and absolute precariousness on a daily basis, which again becomes a challenge since it is the first time that I assume this as an art, in addition to the fact that my public presentation has always been in formal settings, such as universities, legislative forums...therefore, I consider it a real job to try to take the best possible photographs from the very empowerment that my body is mine."

"This shoot happened upon my return from a very needed cold dip in the ocean, with salt sticky on my skin, and granules of sand through my hair. Whilst at the beach, pressure started to build slowly inside me, calling for touch and pleasure. These days, I might "nut one out" quickly, however something inside me called for something more sensual and playful. When I got home, I took out my phone and began photographing myself, slowly peeling off my bikini, gently making my way to my vulva, getting closer and closer to the edge and then, stopping. Then back to the edge again. Moving from one room to another, playing with different toys and different positions. I am still riding the high. How do you play and tease yourself?"

"Hello to you all! I want to show you my perfect day in nature! I was looking forward to the summer with great impatience, I really like training in the fresh air. It is so nice to feel the rays of the sun and the breeze on your naked body! The most surprising thing for me was that when I finished training, I saw that next to my mat, some flowers had opened, which were closed when I arrived! Nature is amazing and energizing! That's why I love to spend a lot of time naked but in the open air! It is positive and excites me!! Resting in a hammock is the best reward after a workout. When you can relax and caress your body to the singing of birds! I hope I was able to convey my emotions and pleasure in my photos."

"When I initially signed up for I Shot Myself, I was a bit apprehensive, not only because this was a completely new experience for me but also because there is something very vulnerable about being completely naked. However, my experience completely contradicted this initial feeling. I started the shoot in my house, where I felt comfortable and safe, then, all of a sudden I was climbing the counters to get the best lighting and angles, I was going outside, stripping down and frolicking in the hedges and grass, it was a completely freeing feeling! I had no idea that I would feel this way and it empowered me completely."

"Hello! This ISM photo shoot was a mini challenge to myself, and a way of honouring and embracing my feminity and shape as it has evolved so many times through my life. I can say I truly love my physical vessel. Every inch of her, in every phase. And it has been a very, VERY long inner journey for me to come to this place of acceptance, adoration of myself and my body, without feeling a little guilt or self judgement for admiring what I've been blessed with. Growing up in Lycra leotards and ballet tights has your body under an unhealthy microscope well before it has finished becoming and during the most awkward in-between years, also doesn't help with the depth of the conditioned judgement I have placed and held on myself for much of my life. The past 10 years I have found I am becoming more accepting and celebrating my shape and all the under weight shapes I have been. Today, and these past months, I feel I am a healthy and I have allowed myself to morph into something I had wished for many years ago. So this is to celebrate this era of my feminine form and all her glory."

"I shot my folio in my new home in a new city in Turkey, where I have never been before. My move was so hard and stressful, and all days before today seemed grey, dull, cold and unfriendly to me. I was feeling miserable because I was all alone in a new hostile place and wondering whether I made a mistake going here. But today was the first sunny day of my time in Istanbul and all at once I felt joy and inspiration. I decided to shoot myself for the project - it was a sorta meditation, forgetting about all the difficulties facing me in this new country, concentrating on celebrating my naked body and this new home. The sun was caressing my skin through the window and suddenly I felt happy. Everything was gonna be fine because me and the world are so beautiful. If you ever feel that there is too much burden on your shoulders or that something is going wrong in your life - take a break from work and chores and give yourself a little leisure of self-love. It works, I am telling you ;)."

"I loved returning to my homeland from Asia in the summer, because the nature here is special. There is nothing better than the smell of this forest: pine, birch. I go for a walk at the hottest time of the day and on a weekday - then there are the least people there. I arrange my "holidays" as before: soap bubbles, Velcro sandals. This time I decided to piss on the grass while squatting in my cotton shorts! I think I even tanned that day! I walked around in a simple cotton dress and shirt, I also took comfortable shorts with me, similar to men's underpants and a top! But most of all I liked the process of dressing and undressing! This outcrop in the forest of my native city caused me so much delight!"

"This time I decided to take photos at my own flat, where I live with my family when I am not traveling. It turned out to be quite unusual to shoot at my flat, because I never did such pics there before. My parents were out when I made the photos, but I felt like a child, who was doing something forbidden when parents are not at home. It was pleasant and anxious at the same time, a taste of forbidden apple. I felt great after the shooting, and unusual too, when I was looking through the pics and seeing my familiar home furnishings."

"I moved to a beautiful island in Thailand, and for almost two years now I have been surrounded by wild jungles, monkeys, snakes and colourful birds. I have been playing computer games since childhood, and now my work is related to this. I live in a house in the mountains, this is the quietest area of the island, right in the jungle itself. A handsome French man lives next door to me, and it seems he saw me naked now. But I feel great, I am a child of nature, and thanks to I Shot Myself, I have become freer, it fills me with sexual energy, and freedom of body and spirit. I love women and their bodies, for me this is art! When I starting taking photos, I thought about how I can show you not only my body, but also how I see femininity, even if it's ridiculous or non-standard, we women can be anything."

"Hello, ISM! This was a very exciting adventure I'm in love with nature and like to do outdoor shoots. So I decided to go to the forest to do these photos. I like being inspired by nature, it could be dangerous because it's wild forest. But it was okey. No snakes or anything like that. Only frogs and insects. But the view was amazing! I like to be a part of nature. Sometimes I just like being alone and walk for hours to explore new places. I had fun cause I did what I really like and walked a lot. The terrain was relief and sometimes I had to go uphill. I walked for around 3 hours."
