"This shoot took place in a very small bedroom with windowless walls and a skylight. There were already a lot of mirrors in place, because it is important to look at and love yourself every day and night, not just for a camera! The shoot was interrupted by housemates and phone calls from friends many times who, when told what I was currently doing, were full of ideas and support (no surprise that I was hanging out naked, that's the norm). I love nature and my plants so incorporating them was very fun, I have always felt at home lying in gardens (and green is a beautiful colour) so to be able to make a garden for myself in my city room is always important!"

"Doing this shoot was an amazing experience. I wanted to explore what it felt like being in clothes that made me feel amazing and sexy and carry that through in the shoot to being naked. I wore one of my favorite necklaces which makes me feel super sassy and highlights an area of my body which I love. As I went on in the shoot I became more comfortable with the camera and my body and was trying lots of different poses. Half way through the shoot I sent a picture of myself to my boyfriend who was on his way home, just to see how he would react. He rushed back, flew through the door, whipped his clothes off and nose dived onto the bed. Getting to use his hands in the shoot was amazing and it was exciting knowing he was there waiting for me to finish the shoot."

"I really wanted to take you all on a little adventure of a day in the life of Monte Luxe. Here's just a snippet of some of the things I deal with on a daily basis. I hope you find it as entertaining as I do!"

"This folio portrays things I love and things I do in everyday life (both mundane and not so mundane) - painting, knitting, practicing yoga, applying psoriasis medication to my genitals (really), even just waking up in the morning and making my breakfast. A consistent thought I had during this shoot is "this is how things should be done - nude - it feels so right".

"This shoot was a totally different thing for me. I've taken so many nude selfies, but always with the intention of sending them to someone I was trying to impress. Sucking in, weird angles, hiding the bits of my body that I'm not 100% confident about. During this shoot I let all of that go and just accepted my body for what it is. I felt silly but I also felt so sexy. I love to eat, and taking nudes with food was so much fun. I was a little nervous about the chilies though! Luckily there were no spicy casualties."

"I took the camera and went to a lovely sunny balcony in a friend's apartment in Melbourne. As always, a chilly day in Victoria but the sun was so nice I kept taking breaks just to soak up some rays, totally relaxed. The stone walls were a bit chilly but an outdoor seat that was out there was perfect to lie around on. I probably took more selfies just then than I have cumulatively over the rest of my life - I'm not really a selfie person but it was really fun!"

"I started the shoot outside and the most difficult thing at first was getting my dogs to leave me alone and to stop staring at themselves in the mirror! After I locked them in the house they started crying really loudly! So here I was taking naked selfies in the garden whilst my dogs are howling like mad, I had a chuckle! I had fun imagining who might look at my photos and trying to connect with them as I was shooting. One thing I didn't factor in was how chilly the morning was! I had to keep taking breaks to warm myself back up and my nipples were getting sore! But the most unexpected thing was when I went into the kitchen and my next door neighbor (who is a 90 year old lady) saw me and smiled and waved as she always does haha!"

"I wanted to shoot outdoors, but I was in a residential neighborhood! Then I found a nice shady spot, until the sun came out five minutes later. It may have taken me a while to find the perfect spot to run around naked, but I think it was worth the struggle. I had even more fun with this shoot than my first one, and I felt a lot more comfortable experimenting with my body and photographing myself from different angles. Playing around with flowers felt very feminine and romantic, and I'd love to keep exploring the relationship of my body in nature in future shoots!"

"Ich bin nicht der Mensch, der immer wieder Selfies von sich macht. Dementsprechend war dieses Projekt eine grosse und spannende Herausforderung fuer mich. Da ich mein Zimmer mit mehreren Leuten teile, musste ich einigen von Ihnen auch erstmal erklaeren, warum ich jetzt erstmal ein wenig Zeit fuer mich brauche. Anschliessend habe ich alles weitgehend praepariert. Spiegel bereit gestellt, Blumen, Hoola Hoop und MICH. Ich muss zugeben, ich fand es erstmal etwas neu, interessant... und vielleicht irgendwie seltsam. Mit der Zeit habe ich wirklich Spass daran bekommen mich auszuprobieren und und war ueberrascht, wie sehr mir meine eigenen Bilder gefallen. Das ganze hat mir irgendwie eine ganze Menge Selbstvertrauen geschenkt. / I'm not the person who always takes selfies. Accordingly, this project was a big and exciting challenge for me. Since I share my room with other people, I had to explain to some of them first, why I needed a little time for me now. Afterwards I have prepared everything largely. Mirror ready, flowers, hula hoop and ME. I have to admit, I found it a bit new, interesting ... and maybe weird. Over time, I really enjoyed trying it out and was surprised how much I liked my own pictures. The whole thing gave me a lot of self-confidence."
