New Releases

"I actually do not look in the mirror a lot. I don't see myself naked ever but seeing what I really look like? That was a big step. I was deleting a lot of photos and then I stopped and thought - "Why am I deleting? This is what I look like". I'm pretty afraid of vaginas too so taking a photo of it - it was like meeting an old friend for the first time! I feel like I'm part of a special club now that I've taken naked pictures of myself. I feel different but I can't really say why - it's just within myself I think. My thought process was like - "Okay go on the couch and see how you can fold yourself up on it!" because it's hard to make every picture different."

"I moved overseas this year, to Canada, and found myself a stranger in a new country. Having a hard time feeling anchored, grounded, in this new life. Fortunately, the same sun shines everywhere! I am, and probably always will be in a love affair with sun beams. Holographic fun, rainbows, sparkles, light rays and sun spots playing on my skin are the ultimate turn on."

"Since this was my first time doing anything like this, it took me a very long time to figure out how best to do it. I felt uninspired at first, but the more I looked at the photos of my body the more I was encouraged. For this "first time" shoot, I thought the mostly white back drop was fitting, I tried with some props but was mostly satisfied with just my body as the focus. I did it for so long that I forgot to eat. Most unusual for me. I'm sure my neighbours saw. They should be so lucky."

"I have been so excited to contribute to ISM again! I had a nice little date with myself in my house. It was freezing cold so I kept my house socks on to stay warm but also keep a comfortable and playful attitude. My cats were unimpressed that I was moving about so much while they were trying to nap. My neighbours decided that a Sunday afternoon was the perfect time to do some gardening just outside my lounge room window so I had to be very careful about where I was flashing!"

"Estas fotos me las tomé un Sábado por la tarde en Mayo, en mi apartamento de Granada (España) donde vivo con mi pareja. Me acababa de tomar una ducha porque hacía bastante calor. Hacía buena luz y me sentía realmente inspirada. Así que me puse los pendientes que me regaló mi novio y me puse a hacer el photoshoot. Lo que intento transmitir en mis fotos es la naturalidad, la confianza, el amor propio, la apreciación de los pequeños detalles del cuerpo a los que normalmente no les hacemos caso. Después del photoshoot, cuando vi las fotos, me sentí muy satisfecha porque creo que hice justo lo que quería. / These photos were taken on a Saturday afternoon in May, in my apartment in Granada (Spain) where I live with my partner. I had just taken a shower because I was really hot. There was good light to shoot and I felt really inspired. So I put on the earrings that my boyfriend gave to me and I started to do the photoshoot. What I'm trying to show in my photos is being natural, the confidence I have, my self-love, the appreciation to the little things that usually don't catch our attention. Afterwards, I saw the photos and I thought I did exactly what I wanted."

"This was my favourite shoot yet. I felt like I was capturing my essence, which made me really comfortable. I spend a lot of time in my bedroom these days, and as a result have made it into a really beautiful space, so it's nice to think that the world is going to see it. I got really turned on during this one, I suppose I was feeling pretty sexy. It was funny, my window goes out to a communal area in our house so I had to tell all of my housemates to not look in. They were cooperative, but I still did a lot of ducking out of the way when they walked past. After I finished, I closed my curtains and had a few spectacular orgasms in celebration. YUM."

"A shoot in the places I feel make me most comfortable. Surrounded by colours and sparkling mirrors and cushions and bubbles. This was playful and cozy. I also shot some pictures among nature, looking at how natural forms in nature mimicked or complimented my body. I loved getting down among the plants! I couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole shoot! It was such a fun time looking for different props like garden rakes or mirrors to get creative with!"

"This shoot was soft and warm and sweet. I was visiting Melbourne which is considerably colder than where I live and the sun had finally come out. So I swanned around dressing myself in sunlight and my own saliva. Enamoured by the rooftop plants and my own soft skin. Exploring my form in the mirrors. Working myself up to get considerably hot and bothered."

Hey! Look what we found hiding away in the archives over the last thirteen years... here's what she said: "I am from Slovakia and I couldn't go outside to shoot this and show you the beautiful country but I wanted some way to show you the place where I am coming from! So I used newspapers from the day to show my language and a regular normal part of everyday life here. You can see some normal foods and products and even their cost! My mother used to follow the low prices to go to the store and shop. But I don't like doing this, I don't like being too careful! You can imagine what kind of thing I prefer to do in my spare time!"

"I did a second shoot for ISM because they are awesome <3. And I was in nature again of course! This time I tried to play with the colors of autumn because I love the golden light reflecting in my hair. I chose the backyard of my house and was so into the shoot while posing in the grass that I ended up laying in dog poo. Well if you're busy and focused that can happen and it made me laugh so I thought why not share it with you. Also no matter how much everything's planned life just brings up weird stuff. C'est la vie!"

"To be honest I was so excited to make this shoot. A lot of different ideas popped up in my head. I was curious about the results and also about the flexibility of my body. I did it on a Sunday morning in our costume room. Yes, we do have a costume room ;). It's my favourite room in our share house. I also did more pictures because it was so much fun. I would definitely do it again. Afterwards I felt really good and even more self confident. It's a good opportunity to embrace yourself more and more."

"It's been a while since I did an ISM shoot, but this one was so much fun. I love having the chance to get creative with my sexuality and with my body and explore taking photos from new angles and this shoot was no exception. In such a wild time it's important that we stay grounded in our bodies and move through this time with a childlike sense of curiosity and creativity. This shoot was done in my beautiful sunlit bedroom, filled with plants and I tried to incorporate a mixture of nature and soft furnishings to textually enhance the images and make this shoot more of a sensory experience. I loved the photos I took with the pearls the most and I hope you do too."

"I shot all these photos in my home because it's the most relaxing place for me. I thought if I was relaxed I would produce the best possible images for you. I think that I did a pretty good job at that! I got wet while taking some of the pictures, and that's the best part of the job! Afterwards I did something about that (if you know what I mean). When I was taking these photos, I dreamed of who would see them. I feel comfortable with my face and my body so I am sure that you'll like my photos and me."

"I was living a simple life. In a small cottage in the Alpujarras mountains in Spain - my only company being a black and white feline called Susho. I spent my days naked and in liberty. I watered the trees, picked the lemons. Smashed the almonds out of their pods, made art and filled my head with words of great writers and music of soul and love. But of all...I found silence. I watched the fabric twist in the wind, I listened to the birds chirping with the first light that saw morning. I felt the softness of my own skin. The unbelievable passion constrained and held captive for so long. Love of life love of mind love of body. The weave of energetic currents, pulsing Up and Down, aching and breathing. The Reader. Ink of blood and skin tissue paper. With silence we learn to read the most important story of our lives."

"The project itself was so energising, playing around in the garden using plants and leaves as props. It was great to be able to get creative with my environment, I had so much fun!! And I have never loved my body so much. Using props like my guitar and hula hoop felt like a great way to convey my passions in life. I truly laughed and danced so much during this shoot, thank you ISM!!"
