New Releases

"I shot my photos at home in between days of unexpectedly long hours at work (which had tired me out and made me feel a bit loopy). I got to explore different angles of my body I don't normally consider or appreciate, particularly when I've been so conscious of taking "the right photo" for partners in the past. I thought about that a lot while shooting, and how freeing it felt to not be weighed down by that expectation. I also got to look around with fresh eyes at what I care about when it came to 'expressing myself' - which turned out to be music and art. My favourite tunes at the moment were playing on speakers while I rolled around on the floor a lot, so it was definitely an enjoyable experience."

"Está experiencia fué vivida con total libertad, si bien nunca antes lo había hecho me sentí cómoda y libre. Hacer las fotos me conectó con mi intimidad y mi sensualidad. Imaginaba las reacciones de otras caras al mirar mis fotos y pensaba - Les gustará? Porque me gustó mucho y me sentí libre de auto fotografiarme. / This experience was lived with total freedom, although I had never done it before, I felt comfortable and free. Taking the photos connected me with my intimacy and my sensuality. I imagined the reactions of other faces when looking at my photos and I thought - Will they like it? Because I really liked it and I felt free to photograph myself."

"My shoot was taken in my backyard during a hot summer's day in Aus! I just got home from a little adventure down by the river and felt inspired to take a playful shoot with myself. I was wearing my favourite pirate-styled dress which has soft lace and materials running across my legs! This felt very sensual as under my dress I was wearing absolutely nothing. I felt so turned on by myself; appreciating my curves, rolls, bum, breasts, red hair, body-hair, and amazing body that continues to change and grow into its own beauty every year. This shoot was my own slice of paradise to feel switched on, excited and deeply in love with myself."

"The Tale of A Tiger by Dario Fo is about a soldier who, close to dying, drags himself into a cave before promptly passing out. When the soldier wakes, in front of him stands a tiger and her cub. What follows is a story of his domestic life with his tiger family. You can meet the tiger in my photos, go on then. Every day I walk down my hall and look deep into the eyes of this theatrical tiger. It is entirely why I ADORE red. Red is the colour of sex, passion, courage, danger, sacrifice, joy. I fucking love Red, these photos are my love letter to Red."

"I did the shoot in my apartment, some in my bedroom and some in the lounge room. It's pretty much all windows so I thought I would try and capture myself when the morning light shines in. I wanted to see if I could play around with light and shadow in some of the photos and I was quite pleased with how they came out. I have to admit, there were some moments that were confronting, my body has changed over the last few months and I did judge myself a little, but the more I pushed forward, the more comfortable I got, and the more comfortable I got the more creative I got. I loved doing this. I feel my confidence slowly coming back."

"I shot this at my house in my room and in the garden. It was a warm sunny day and I loved the way the light fell through the trees and hit my skin. When it's warm I become very dreamy, and the air felt thick and sweet around me. I was very taken with the romance of the atmosphere and my spaces which had seemed dull until that moment were imbued with beauty and meaning and I felt beautiful within them. Taking photos as I went through my day made me feel playful and silly, and I danced and ate lots of sweet things in my breaks."

"The best lighting is in my kitchen and when I open the window all people living in the building opposite of my one can see me while I take these photos. These are my everyday clothes and the most comfortable underwear. I was glad when I heard about I Shot Myself - this is a chance to create sustainable content and show myself as I am. During the shooting, I thought about how to give the viewer the opportunity to be close to me. I wanted the viewer to participate in my movements and not just peep."

"Hello! It's been a couple of years since I shot for ISM and I've put on a little bit of weight recently so I'm celebrating my new curves and loving my 70's style bush! If you're wondering, that's 7 months growth right there. Anyway I hope you like my pictures, I just got a brand new glass butt toy so I thought I'd have some fun with it and I can tell you it does the job just fine :)."

"I went to the park down the road from my house for this shoot. I left at 5am so it wouldn't be too busy. I rarely get up that early, so little did I know that 6am is the mosquito hour! Despite having about 10 mosquitoes on me at a time for the entire shoot, I pushed through and actually had a really great time! I got caught by a couple bikers, a runner, and a dog walker. But they just smiled and carried on! Once the park started to get really busy I went home and took a few more photos on my couch while I warmed up with a cup of tea. It was an eventful morning to say the least!"

"I'm on the way to start to love my body, and taking part in this naked experience was an important first step towards achieving that. I definitely felt more confident with myself during the photoshoot, I think I'm as beautiful as any other woman. I felt completely comfortable because I did the shoot by myself and I took a long time with it, feeling wonderful the whole time. I really love to be naked because it makes me feel more free, and I feel more creative because I needed to imagine new poses and new angle for pictures. My phone takes nice photos wouldn't you say?"

"I shot this in my bedroom whilst in the midst of cleaning it. Once I started, I actually found the whole process way more difficult and intensive than I thought it was going to be! I have never modelled, am generally very physically self-conscious, and have always been insecure, particularly about my boobs and my vagina. Filling up an entire folio is a lot of photos to take of anything, let alone your own self in nothin' but ya birthday suit! It was a rollercoaster but as the photos went on the more powerful, silly and confident I felt. I'm a pretty awkward person when it comes to this kind of stuff (the photos and the writing) but gee I had heaps of fun and I'm stoked to be a part of this."

"I really enjoyed doing I Shot Myself because it gave me a chance to see myself in a different light. I felt very comfortable while taking the pictures in my own home, showing off art I have on the walls and my personal belongings, it made the entire experience feel way more personal and being able to express myself in a way I never have before. While shooting I was thinking positive things about myself which I loved! Afterwards I felt very body confident and had no negative feelings about my image."

"This year I have focused on reclaiming my love of detail, my feeling for energetic resonance between all things in nature. I had cut myself off from this part of myself, as I was so often criticised for being idealistic, and overdramatic. But I see endless reflections of my body in the landscapes where I live, walk and skinny dip, as I see the earth reflected in the shape of my body and the texture of my skin. I see all parts of nature as beautiful, important and powerful. So I see all parts of my body and self the same way. In a culture that is focused on creating beauty through makeup, fast fashion and cosmetic surgery, it feels more important to me than ever to create wise beauty in my art and the way I live, making myself beautiful to the ancient and natural world."

"It's been almost a year since my last folio, and you can see how different my nude self-shots got. I think I'm getting better at it. At figuring out my style, of expressing something that I feel. I want to tease and seduce, I want to convey a certain intimacy that is embedded in who I am. And I simply just love beautiful things, and I want to be them, to own them, to create them. Beauty and carefully curated aesthetics are of the essence here. But at the same time, shooting these pics is inevitably turning me on, which makes the whole process and the end result so much more special. I just cannot put into words how aroused I am doing them. I was literally edging. I had to get off afterward because it was just too much. This folio is so many things and it's just magical."

"I decided to do this shoot because I have struggled with self love in the past especially when it comes to my body. I have always been pretty self conscious about my stomach and decided to do this photoshoot to just be me and appreciate my body the way that it is. I honestly felt a little awkward at first but in the end I feel like I got some stunning photos of my whole body and that feels amazing! I really just went into this not over analysing my body and it was extremely freeing. I loved that my dog Oreo just hangs around me so much he ended up being featured a few different times."
