New Releases
harmony//"foxie"
If you don't know John Butler, he's a pretty ferral bluesy rock dude and I'd say the best thing about him is this loyal fan Harmony. Confessing to few or no camera skills, she learned on the job and after 2 attempts, completed this alluring folio.

pinkee//"pinksheets"
A very serious-looking Pinkee tells us she's done an "alphabetised nudie-run" around Sydney. Ten points if you can tell us exactly what that entails. Add another ten if you can guess Pinkee's favourite colour?

teatree//"journey"
Teatree is in love, and the glow shows. Shooting this was a learning experience for her as she'd taken almost no photographs in her life before, but the clean start has a positive effect on her folio.

laura-marie//"serene"
Some absolute killer shots in here from German contributor Laura-Marie. Pic 044 is a real standout for it's artful use of shadow and contrast, as is 112 for its exploitation of overexposure.

tasha//"cutiepie"
Confident Tasha likes her lingerie and her lips. A case of "rain stopped play" but she picked the set up indoors and took it to a fine innings.

sage//"arty_fun"
Luminous, untainted skin like Sage's makes you wonder how suntans ever became popular. Sage's naughty side had her start the folio by the window overlooking a car park then turns indoors and takes to her body with a paintbrush. The sequence is a bit messed up, our fault. We'll work out that numbering program one day.

boomboom//"puppyfat"
Well here's a first for ISM, allow us to introduce Boomboom the 'trial human'. Outspoken, sharp and pretty to boot, we had a hard time assigning this folio to the Overload basket - but it was just too damned short. So Boomboom, get your witty arse off your home planet and back to the Project, Earth needs you!

cerise//"sojourn"
We had the pleasure of meeting this contributor personally and she is even more charming than her pictures represent - add gracious, and humble and intelligent to that list too. Yet she is one of those weirdos who prefers vinyl...fortunately her penchant for analogue doesn't extend to cameras. Outstanding folio.

emi//"yokubou"
"yokubou" means desire, or so we're told. Shot entirely within a four-feet square, this folio demonstrates how many different beautiful images can be made by one person, one light, and a lot of imagination. This will be tough to beat for the January Art Prize.

oscar & naomi//"erudition"
For some couples, a night in with a good book is as good as 'having a headache'. We somehow suspect these two do a lot more than brush up on their favourite Beat authors. Here's the still set from their previous video 'literati'.

asari_simone//"feel_that"
A provocative title for a confident shoot which doesn't hold back. Great angles and composition, and some gorgeous mirror shots. We hope to invite asari_simone back for a reload soon.

pandora//"crash"
Pandora's Reload is one of those living, breathing sets that just has 'movie' written all over it. This folio crosses all sorts of genres and contains almost everything you could hope for from a decent flick. A roadtrip, a car crash, a stunning dame and a killer ending.

spiral//"siren"
Today's folio will be a treat for body mod fans, and of course cuteaholics. Spiral is a painter, poet and teacher, who for her shoot gets slinky in her nest with all sorts of found materials. Before you ask, yes the nipples are tattooed...
