heidii//"braveheart"
Heidii has many years ahead of her, so if this is the wildest thing she’s done just yet, we’d like to know what tops it from here. Does it get any more risque than this, or are we small potatoes compared to eating pig intestines on Fear Factor?

del//"crema"
We’ve had our fair share of ISM tea parties, but an ISM perculation party is something reserved for this particularly stylish bohemian. Any lady who can really make a decent coffee is one who deserves our utmost jazz snaps…though I think she might need to consider working with a finer grind.

maddison//"legsnlace"
So many visual references come up in Maddison’s first ISM – black and white cookies, for example, and 40s film starlets with painted lips. And, best of all, the pleasure of slipping your hand up a disembodied leg. Algamatophilia: don’t knock it til you try it.

sunset_sally//"finegrain"
I love when the sand is packed firm enough to walk on without making a footprint. Sunset Sally makes great use of the visual appeal of its pristine surface – and that of her own body as well. She’s a beach bunny of the highest order and she’s right at home in her debut.

beauti//"rocksteady"
The image of soft flesh pressed against rough, jagged stone is one that activates our fantasies and gets us thinking in textures. And we have to say, whatever Beauti did to get that shiner, it fits into the visual perfectly, and reminds us that what we’re dealing with here, first and foremost, is humans.

andi//"bringithome"
If you are one of the masses of people who enjoyed Andi’s outdoor autumnal ISM seedlings, you may like her indoor variety as well. She may not get as much light as she did when she was growing out in the woods, but still she’s as radiant as she ever was, reminding us that homegrown is always better.

canela//"DaDa" Video
Canela and her generative spirit are hard at work on what’s actually our business here at ISM: self-portraiture. Here’s a portrait of her making her portrait, which is a pretty cool thing to see, especially since whoever ends up with that painting on their loungeroom wall won’t have nearly as much behind-the-scenes info as we do.

rowen//"atmospheres"
Rowen turns the overall temperature of her folios from an almost-unbearable 37 degrees to the temperature of a Sunday spent in a warm room with a chilly wind outside. You don’t even need the heater when you’ve got your own personal ball of warmth to roll around with.

marna//"runaround"
If Marna’s references to underhanded activity are indeed grounded in truth, this ISM folio might be the most legal thing she’s done in her recent history. We’re glad to host her momentary role as ‘law-abiding citizen’.

s.h.m//"repose"
There seems to be a touch of the winter blues happening in this folio, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of – a vitamin D deficiency is bound to make things a little drab. But that doesn’t stop her from making some warm images, and by the end, I think she might even be smiling a little.

latika//"honeyed"
We see yet another side of Latika today, one that takes a bit of the edge off her last gritty folio. Her beauty has such versatility, and in this light the severity of her linear features is feathered by a warm breeze and an even warmer smile.

impala//"cut_loose"
Impala faced the same trial that many ISM artists face, which is that confrontational moment when you have to decide exactly how you and the camera are going to relate. Like any first date, it’s always a little awkward at first, but once Impala started steering the conversation, things got very casual, very quickly.

leux//"eurovan"
Leux is working in some pretty close quarters, which means an extra level of ‘creativity’ when it comes to getting those more interesting angles. Luckily she can twist herself into any number of configurations. She’s lithe and lovely and full of wanderlust.

tahnee//"unzipped"
The golden girl with the blazing blue eyes returns to ISM with a bright and colourful approach to baring bits at a time. She’s got a few clever ways to make sure she’s ready to bolt should she be discovered in this little hideaway, though if she doesn’t have time to zip up before she starts running, it’ll be a happy day for all involved.

isobell//"vivo"
Intensely colourful and bursting with the brightness that characterises her origins, Isobell’s debut has the HQ all a-buzz with ‘art prize’ rumours and othersuch excitement. Her intense brown eyes and the mini-atmospheres through which they gaze into the lens are just an extension of the artistry that is her existence.
