"I shot myself for a myriad of reasons, but most importantly, I feel that with generational change public nudity becomes increasingly acceptable, and rightly so. Without intending to sound self-righteous I'm really glad I had the opportunity to do this shoot as I feel that ISM is extremely valuable, not only to the world of online erotica, but also in aide to the normalisation of the concept of nudity and sexuality. In turning the camera back on ourselves it forces us (in the best way ever) to become more comfortable, aware of, and thankful for our physical selves, in a way which is completely controlled by the individual photographer. Surely this kind of creative freedom is and extremely worthwhile and rare commodity in the world of "porn" and should be valued as such. With that said, I hope you enjoy my shoot. Peace."
