ARTISTS STATEMENT
I was really nervous to begin with, I wasn't sure how I could feel confident like all these other people did, but during the shoot and whilst taking all these photos of my body in different poses, I felt so pretty - I thought my body looked really cool. I am honestly shocked at how confident I felt during this shoot, and how I am feeling after as I write this. I feel refreshed in a way. My body looks so unique in these photos, and I feel super happy with how they turned out too. I wasn't sure how I would feel about leaving my natural body hair down there, but it just felt right to do nothing about it and just express myself the way I wanted to. Nudity is something I've never had a problem with, I always thought bodies were beautiful but occasionally, I do feel like I have to follow the beauty standards for women, and what bodies should look like. During IShotMyself, I just felt so good, I don't even know how to explain it. It felt like I was producing art with control in my hands (literally)! I definitely feel like nudity is a form of art, and the way it can make you feel is amazing! It makes me feel better about myself compared to posting my body on social media because I know I'm doing this for myself and not just for others! I am so grateful to be offered such an experience that I was so anxious for. Thank you, ISM!

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Australia
occupation: Retail sales assistant - Skincare
age: 20
height: 178cm
relationship status: Taken
starsign: Libra
biggest passion in my life: Is to achieve complete flexibility with my body, as I would love to be a pro at pole dancing one day or even with silks. I would love to compete or even just do this on a regular basis. I used to be super flexible so I am trying to get back into it, it's so fun! I also wouldn't mind being well known for pole dancing or just inspiring to people in general
I like to listen to: Music, it's something I listen to every day and allows me to just escape into another world. I have quite a few playlists, so it depends on my mood
I like to watch: Anime, I don't watch it as frequently but when my favourite like Demon Slayer has new seasons, I'm watching it ASAP. Also Studio Ghibli movies, like Princess Mononoke, When Marnie Was There
I like to smell: My partner's perfume, Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom. It smells like one of his favourite kpop idols, Joshua from SEVENTEEN
I like to taste: Pearls from bubble tea! I absolutely love the texture and the way they taste in my mouth. They're slightly sweet and super chewy, which I love
I like to feel: Touched by my partner such as being hugged in bed, I enjoy the warm feeling of their skin pressed against mine. It's a very comforting feeling. It also makes me feel warm inside (happy, eased)
favourite part of my body: My boobs. I think they're really cute and perky and look nice in certain tops
favourite part of someone else's body: Their hands or their neck/collar bone area
Why i shot myself: I did I Shot Myself because I thought the general idea of it was quite empowering, along with a supportive team at HQ, I thought it was really cool. I also loved seeing the amount of women who have also done IShotMyself - I was inspired by their photos! It made me want to try it out and feel good like they mentioned!
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: Donald Trump
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: My partner
Most outrageous thing I have done: Had sex on the dining table, I never expected this to happen. I'm surprised but hey, I don't regret it
Bands I like: Cigarettes After Sex, Stray Kids, Whitney Houston
Books I like: I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Se-hee, How Many More Women by Jennifer Robinson and Keina Yoshida, Demon Slayer Manga series
Films I like: When Marnie Was There, Rocketman, Black Panther - Wakanda Forever
