New Releases

"So, I took these images while I wandered around my house. It proved a bit difficult due to the light being quite harsh but I still enjoyed the process thoroughly. I have previously done nude self-portraiture for art folios and so I used this opportunity to just view my body in various positions and bring a playful sensual side to what I was doing instead of the usual, trying to get the perfect angle and margins etc. It made me appreciate my body and the way it moves. My home is quite a nude-friendly place so it isn't out of the ordinary for my housemates to see me naked but it was quite amusing having them come downstairs thinking I was just sunbathing to then realise I was working on something and run through the room with an - "Oh shoot, sorry I'll get out of the background!" Aaahhh!"

"Finally after three years, I have created another quirky and sensual contribution. I approached this shoot with an aim to give insight into my personality, energy and lifestyle. I did the shoot over another busy weekend with the sun beating down in my backyard and plenty of beautiful natural light showering my skin. There was so much sweat at times, and my body is sore in some places from capturing as many unique angles as possible. Maybe I need more yoga in my diet? My soul feels nourished and my smiles are genuine as I was completely connected with myself, feeling free and authentic."

"Hello everyone, this is my third shoot for I Shot Myself and I was very excited and a little nervous when I did it, as I wanted to show myself who I am. In these photos I also wanted to show my apartment. I have been working as a model for 4 years and I bought this apartment for myself, I'm very proud of it. I also wanted to show you my hobbies. I really like to paint pictures and give them to my friends. One of my favourite things at home though is my cat and you might see him in some of the photos. I also bought myself a new dress for this shoot, it brings out the color of my eyes well. I hope you enjoy my photos! xx."

"I decided to take the photos in my room, during a warm day of summer, listening to music that helped inspire me and connect with the purest and most organic aspects of my body. Throughout the afternoon, I added colourful flowers and allowed my body to flow while practicing some stretching. It was very pleasant how many ideas and images came to my mind meanwhile I was playing with the camera. I felt that creating this portfolio would give me a new perspective on how sensual and beautiful I can be posing nude, and indeed, that's how I felt!"

"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."
