New Releases

We already had an inkling that Dream Weaver was a bit of a free spirit, but it wasn’t until she let us have a peek into her living space that we realised; Dream Weaver is a full on flower child. A music making, body painting bohemian babe brought into the techno-2000s like some kind of time-travelin' vagabond. Groovy.

Makoumba is an otherworldly creature, possessing a fierce, unrestrained elegance which transcends genre. Even against a backdrop of pure white, there's nothing tame or quiet about her - Makoumba's is an aesthetic which outstrips and redefines, challenging every common ideal you've been told to measure up to in the past.

There are a whole lot of things that are extra special about Monkey, but we just can't get past those amazing eyes of hers. On their own, they’re already some of the most direct and intense we've ever had the pleasure of gazing into, but when combined with her champion skills in the field of makeup artistry, it seems Monkey, if she chose, could easily rule the world - one deep stare at a time.

Why, Claire R, how sweet of you! Dodging bystanders and the wary eyes of the city clean-up squad, she's gone and made an artistic tribute to iShotMyself, tagging us a sexy little logo to shine out from amongst all the rest. ISM's street-cred has gone way, way up today, and it's all thanks to the spray-paint stylings of this daring French femme.

It's easy to have misgivings about quitting the city - What if there's bugs? What if we get lost? So if you ever need inspiration for that long-overdue trip to the forest, just open up Shayma's folio - the creativity and joy with which she engages with the nature around her will send even the most staunch industrialist running for the hills.

Well, if Tea_Cake wanted to prove that she is one beautiful woman, she sure picked an interesting way to do it. Sunburnt and scabbed up, Tea_Cake still looks prettier than a whole stack of Monets. We're almost afraid to see her when she's completely intact again, since we can't really imagine how she could get any more perfect than this.

If you are a bird that flies and broods, stays up late, and/or takes pride in the beauty of your own raven-black feathers, you had better watch out - there's a new bird in town who's got all that going on and more. Plus, we're willing to wager that none of her feathered night-friends have got Torrid's amazing taste in footwear, either.

It looks like OJTinkerbell fell straight down the rabbit hole into her own personal Wonderland, a place of bright colors, beads and ribbons, and almost impossibly joyful grins. Lucky girls like her seem to drift on the air like dandelion fluff, living in a sort of mystical reality we mortals can only read and dream about.

Is it bad if we're a little bit jealous? Estas has really gone all out to make the best kind of birthday present for her friend, and her sultry glances and slow revealing of those well-wishes have us drawing up all the necessary legal documents. It seems like everyone here at ISM HQ suddenly feels like they were born to be named "Lea". Isn't that funny?

A trip through the textures and weights of Jai's personal effects may seem a bit curious at first, but the way that she photographs them against herself stands out. Her ability to visually transform everyday trinkets gives us a myriad of ways to look at her, and each object seems to bring out a new facet of her personality.

Isabo and Adam didn't care too much about potential peepers or interruptions from the get-go, but as the day gets long and things heat up between them they seem to completely forget their surroundings, immersing themselves only in each other and the ongoing documentation of their summery good times.

Anytime you combine a knit rainbow cap, a pink ukulele, angels, green walls and a handsaw into one photographic project, sheer inscrutability and saturation of color will somehow bring it all together into a kind of breathless coherence - yeah, we know, but you have to see it to get it. Rocket knows all about this kind of thing, and so, brought us a folio just eclectic enough to keep us on our toes.

Now, maybe those of you who haven't given it a go yet don't know this, but shooting yourself au naturel in the city streets takes a whole lotta chutzpah. There's no end to the distractions and interruptions, but fortunately Jasmine_D has no fear of her own urban jungle - she's as savvy and city slick as they come, and the confidence we see in these photos just proves it.

We get into a lot of mirror and reflection play here at ISM HQ - hey, its research - but try as we might, we cannot replicate the incredible fractal-like images that Fonran has managed to capture (seemingly) without trying. Still, as cool as her skills with a looking glass may be, they don't even compare to the impressive niftiness of Fonran herself. Check it.

As long as photography exists, there will be no end to the romantic appeal of warm lighting. Rita_A must have been doing this kind of thing for awhile: she's got curves and angles in all the right places, and illuminating them with the golden, honey quality of her atmosphere is a deliberate and excellent, choice.
