LAOISE 

LAOISE
ARTISTS STATEMENT
Two years ago I had a very bad skin condition called psoriasis and was really unhappy with myself and insanely self conscience about my skin. I always said if my psoriasis went away I would never complain about my body size, shape, texture or color. So 2 years on and my skin is 10 times better and for the first time in a long while I feel happy and comfortable with my body. When I heard about I Shot Myself I was immediately intrigued but didn't actually think I would get around to doing it. Having seen a few other girls' photos it made the decision of going for it easier. Each girl looked different and so comfortable in the photographs that I wanted to see what I would look like and if I could actually do something so liberating and free. I have never posed nude before and naturally at the beginning I was a little nervous but by the end I felt great and was so happy I participated in this project!
