Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

LYRA

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I really enjoyed the freedom of photographing myself naked, and exploring my body in a visual way. I liked that although I had control of the situation, because I couldn't see what I was photographing, I didn't have complete control over the results. I'm not normally one for public nudity, but I found it a very personal and liberating experience. Especially doing the shoot outdoors. I'm very happy with the results - even the parts of my body that I don't particularly like can look good (sometimes!). I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I did.
