New Releases

"So I shot this mostly in the backyard of a friends newly acquired house. I also took some in places around the house, because it's empty now it it's got this distinct feeling of nostalgia for me and I wanted to capture that. At first I was a little uncomfy, I'm used to taking pictures with my phone, so trying to figure out the angles and lighting with my new tech wasn't easy. But specifically, once I started romping around the yard with the citrus trees, it was a little bit easier and more fun. Afterwards, I felt thrilled and a little bit relieved that I got it done with, and as I looked over the pictures I was proud of myself for giving this a hearty go!"

"I took these photos at home. I was hoping that the day would be sunny and give a lot of light for pictures, but the weather was overcast and I had to take pictures right in front of the window. ISM gave me a very new experience, an opportunity to show myself as a real person. I kept thinking, "Wow, you can take a photo from a funny angle and it will be approved?!" It was funny how my cat hung around despite not getting in any pics!"

"I shot my folio in a beautiful forest of eucalyptus and fern trees, so many birds and parrots were looking at me. At first I thought I was going to freeze to death so I took some pictures inside a big yurt tent but the next morning I had a little dance to warm up myself and then started to roam around the wood like little red riding hood. It didn't take too long to forget about shivers and to truly enjoy my moment with the camera, with the creek, the plants and my naked body."

"For this photo shoot, I was in the same location as the last but I must mention that I have definitely accumulated more decor and things such as plants and candles that make the space feel more like me. I love the little things. They speak to me. For this shoot I wore my favourite red bralette for pride month as I am a proud bisexual woman. The bra is one of my proudest finds - it was on sale at a Bendon bra outlet store, it was the last one and I thought it was so cool and unique with the cleverly placed rhinestone rainbow hearts to cover the nips! I was wearing a newly purchased pair of interesting lace boy shorts which are so comfortable and make me feel like me. It was a Sunday again as I must say Sundays are my favourite day to be creative as I feel my brain is most relaxed and calm after a big work week. This time I barely used the mirror and I found that this enabled me to have more fun with just me and the camera. I was playing my favourite Amy Winehouse tunes the whole time, I love her music so much and it helps me tap into my creative focus. I feel really free and comfortable in this shoot and I hope you can see that through my body language and facial expression even though I definitely look more serious in a lot of the pics haha, enjoy!"

"I decided to take these photos over two days of my life. After much time of living with oppressive attitudes, I have broken free and found freedom. After moving into my new place, I breathed my atmosphere into this apartment, and I experienced an impossible surge of inspiration that I wanted to share with everyone. I looked in the mirror and wondered why I looked so good, and my appearance reflected inner contentment and happiness, finally! I'm really turned on by the process of shooting, and even more I like to look at the finished shots and get excited by my beauty, to know that I'm already looking at these photos through your eyes, with the same adoration and lust, I even had to satisfy myself before dinner, because I was too hungry and excited. In general, I had a great day, this is really the best day of the whole year, I'm going to bed and sending you some more photos from my bedroom!"

"I shot this folio in my rented apartment while on vacation. The shooting took about 2 hours, it was interesting and made me move my brain in the process of inventing photos. I was comfortable and interested in taking good images. I would like to note that in the process of photographing, I became more and more involved in the action and liberated myself with each frame. I liked the pictures and how my body looks in them. I would like to repeat this experience."

"This is my first I Shot Myself submission, and my first time taking pictures of my vulva - what a freeing experience! I recently moved interstate to Melbourne, and I shot this folio in my room at a temporary rental. There is the most beautiful bay window in my room which was thrilling to use for the shoot as it is in direct view from the street. I think some people may have seen me shooting as they were walking past... lucky them! I shot during the mid-afternoon, which slowly progressed to the late afternoon. I loved how the late afternoon sun left patterns of light on my skin through the window details. I felt so empowered and sexy after the shoot, and my partner and I went out to a post-punk gig later in the evening!"

"The idea for making this ISM folio came to me through a friend...I thought about it for a long time, and then decided why not? After all, this is a good opportunity to show the world how beautiful the human body is. The body is a vessel, this is what we admire. I like the idea that I can take photos without makeup and just be myself, and not think that I look somehow wrong. During the photo shoot, I used a chair and a bed, it turned out very cool on the chair. Sometimes my cat came into the room and he helped me pose. In general, it was fun!"

"I've been skinny dipping at a local beach recently, and it's been nice and all but something hasn't felt quite right...I decided to take my camera along and voilà! Nothing turns me on more than letting others in on my cheeky little secret. I've always wanted to do an ISM fully outside and this felt like the perfect opportunity. A mostly deserted beach and sun out. It didn't take long for my clothes to come off. I loved feeling the different textures and temperatures on my body during this shoot. Camera on my boobs and ass, freezing cold water on my feet and thighs...bliss."
