New Releases

"This shoot occurred during a heat wave in my oven of an apartment. Thus, the process felt sweaty but authentic, as I wanted nothing more than to be rid of my clothes in the heat. Hopefully they make you a little hot under the collar as well ;) As a sewist, the challenge for me was creating visual interest without costumes or lingerie ensembles. After taking some photos clothed, I set to work creatively capturing myself sans clothing. I tried to contort myself into various positions with varied lighting, and placed the camera in uncharted locations, anything and everything, and came out of it with a reasonable collection of photos."

"I shot my photos in my rented apartment, which is located in the province of Russia. It is cozy, light and always smells of aromatic oils and incense, I love this place. During the shooting process, it was a little difficult for me to shoot myself without a bluetooth button or a timer, but I definitely liked this format. Sometimes you can see my kitten in the photos. I have been waiting for sunny days for a long time, which are not so many here at this time of the year to take these photos. I would like to repeat this experience - it definitely helped me discover new sides of sexuality in myself."

"I really enjoyed doing my third shoot for ISM. This time I experimented with different textures. The rug underneath my body provided feelings of softness and warmth. In direct contrast, the chain was refreshingly cool as I wrapped it around different parts of my body. The model train was also cool, and felt solid and sturdy on my body. I really liked the effect of wrapping the chain around my breasts and thighs, the light constriction felt secure and comforting. This shoot made me feel happy and confident in my body, and I am excited to share it with you!"

"Doing these photos is so much fun! I've never taken photos like this right by my open door. It was in that moment actually that my neighbors had visitors. And honestly some visitors caught me while doing selfies but it was fun anyway. I liked it when he saw me only wearing my panties. He smiled and it seems like he liked it. I was thinking at the moment that how confident I am to be doimg this while others are watching it feels good honestly. At first I was a bit hesitant to do this shoot because I had nothing cute to wear. Luckily I have my neighbor who loaned me her skirt and it was so nice how supportive she was and it motivated me really."

"I shot this folio in my apartment! I struggled with picking just one theme for the shoot; I considered doing a shoot that was themed around my hobbies, or a nature themed shoot, or a pink-themed shoot. Eventually I decided I wanted poetry, words, to be the thread that ties it all together. Among many other things, I'm a writer, words are my thing. I think several themes ultimately wound their way into the shoot and my thoughts - self care, and Things I Did To Survive The Pandemic. Growing plants, leaving a relationship that wasn't working to eventually move into the home and the nesting partnership I'm in now, making poetry out of recycled letters and packages. The trickiest part of this shoot was taking pictures while I couldn't see myself - one, I'm vain, and it's easier to get a flattering angle on my smartphone, and two, it's just easier to see what I'm doing. I didn't wear makeup for this shoot at all, and on the first day of taking pictures I don't think I bothered combing my hair. Whether you like this shoot or not, I hope you do something fun and silly today. I hope you make yourself a cup of tea and drink at least most of it while it's still hot. I hope you do something small that brings you joy."

"I shot this folio in my apartment to create the most homely atmosphere. I gladly decided to take part in this project, because I love to pose nude, and I often act as a nude model for artists. I feel comfortable in front of the camera, so it was not difficult for me to take photos for you. I got some experiences by participating in this, and I became a step higher than I was yesterday. Now I feel that I will tell my friends and acquaintances about ISM, because I believe that every person should have the opportunity to express themselves and open up from a new side. During the creation of the folio, I imagined that I was luring those who would see these photos at home for a cup of tea."

"I did the shoot over the weekend on my terrace and balcony. I loved getting creative and caught myself getting more and more into it. It's so self empowering to take raw nude shots of my body and I enjoyed the process a lot. After the shoot I felt even more confident, as I tuned into the project. I always had some issues with my butt, since my previous relationship partner always put my down for it, saying it's too small. But while shooting I got more confident about it and start to love it more."

"I did my shoot predominately in my new rental. It's a small apartment so I really had to think about how to use the space to my advantage. I also got to shoot a few pics at a friend's place to add some variety. The weather was quite drizzly and grey so I took the majority of my photos indoors. It was fun to talk to my housemate who had some good suggestions for me when I got stuck too :). I felt very body positive and self accepting throughout the process, looking at myself from all the different angles the camera allows."

"It was lovely to shoot another ISM for the first time in a few years. This time around, my intention was to push my creativity and make images that are more interesting to me than the last shoots. So I shot in many different locations! I usually gravitate towards a natural environment, which is why some of the images were created outside in a creek that I grew up swimming in. The rest of the images were taken in my childhood home - it was tricky finding the time and privacy with my Mum here, but it was quite fun to sneak around haha. Once again, this project has reminded me how good it feels to be walking around nude. After taking these images over the past few days, I've found myself not wanting to wear clothes much at all. So thank you for having me back! xox"
