Orphan_boi//"androgenic"
Lest you get too comfortable in your definitions and distinctions as regards the gender binary, Orphan_Boi is here to rescue you from your dichotomies and get you thinking on more spectral terms. Did you know that you can inhabit as many points on the spectrum as you like? Even concurrently? Well, let the boi tell you all about it.

belia//"convolutions"
Despite its manifestations in still photographs, Belia's first folio is really a study of a body in motion. She's craftily captured her full frame in contortions that strike us in the way that they seem to spiral out and away from the camera's point of origin.

Shara_c//"familyjewels"
She might as well be rolling around on the bed with about ten thousand quid. We never pictured Shara_C as someone who would need a safety deposit box for all of her assets, but then again, she does have a houseboat. We get more and more glad to know this lady all the time.

Sbjwell//"paradisio"
Sbjwell makes her idyllic debut from a rooftop in paradise, where the sun shines in a cloudless sky and you can perch nude and oversee the leisure activities of the foolishly clothed. Do you ever wonder how many Google Earth satellite photos have caught ladies like her in the act and had to blur out their bits on the map?

secretflower//"soft_edges"
Secretflower embodies both the excessive and the pragmatic aspects of her femininity in this set. Black lace and Baxter boots can occupy the same space, and in so doing, reveal her body as both a tool and an art object.

coobaba//"caged_bird"
We know why the caged bird sings - cos she wants attention. Coobaba invites you right into the frame with her gaze, but there's not always a whole lot of space in there, what with her larger-than-life image taking it all up.

Elayne & jo_b//"simians_1"
It's hard to see what separates these two from the rest of the monkeys in the trees. Elayne & Jo B are a prehensile tail short of ancestral in this simple, playful duet that makes us contemplate why we bothered evolving in the first place, when we could have been having this much fun.

Lucinda Bone//"bony_valentine"
Lucinda Bone is fascinated by the exquisite corpse. As she meditates on its preservation, she contemplates the eventual fate of her own. Whatever becomes of these bones of hers, they will forever be preserved here on ISM, wrapped in flesh and artifice and intention.

xqueeniex//"candylips"
You can certainly see the John Waters influence on xQueeniex's work, from the hot pink and lace motifs to the suitably camp glitter-encrusted lips. She might even be channelling his moustache. While we can't imagine him trolling around this corner of the internet, we think he'd be proud to know that he's inspired such imagery.

ulrika//"intoxicating"
It's easy to get high on the power of your own sexuality, and if Ulrika's expressions are any evidence, she's pretty well smashed over this whole naked-on-camera thing. She may need fried eggs on toast and a Berocca in the morning, but right now she's just living the glory.

marlene//"at_the_seams"
Seams are sexy. Whether they're straight and neat or all twisted from a night spent dancing, whether they hold things together or burst open, those lines that signify 'containment' (and thereby its breaking point) are part of the iconography of sex.

Momo//"momosexual"
If you know where to look, you may already be familiar with the themes of Momo's work, and it's pretty amazing to see them move from the two-dimensional page to the multi-dimensional being she is. It's a privilege to see her in this medium, so don't let it slip by.

cheyenne//"expectations"
Cheyenne checked in just to show us how things are moving along since we last had a look at her baby-belly. The radiance with which she's doing pregnancy is not exactly the best advertisement for birth control - how could you not want to feel as good as she seems to? And she's probably even better these days, what with that little someone in her arms rather than in her belly.

classyact//"out_country"
Even as she enjoys the still life of her rural home, Classyact radiates an exuberant energy that suggests that she's not all rolling hills, tractors and grazing fields. She's got a yearning to connect with all that's outside of her acreage, and ISM is a mighty fine way to do it.

french kiss//"scintilla"
There is very little doubt that FrenchKiss is a lover of all things sensual, given her proclivity for capturing so many miniscule details of sensation and pleasure in this set. These are the kinds of images that trigger our physical memories and evoke a distinct, bodily response.
