New Releases

"I really enjoyed the whole process of this shoot, expressing myself in places that I am usually found slinking around in... drenched in the greens n purples of my garden... I waited a week for the sun to come out (it's winter now, freezing man!) and was a lil' too goosebumpy to get into it. But if there is one thing that makes me happy when there's no sun it's natives - I had just collected a whole bunch of wattle so grabbed a lil' off my alter and promptly decided for some reason to eat of a bit of it... maybe not the best idea but after this the sun came to greet me and I was able to resource some of my power and feel myself more into the shoot, I'm so glad I get to share the fun of this day!"

"I've recently moved to a new place and it's the first time I've been tasked with making a home. There's no lease. No cheap, temporary furniture. I'm nesting. And this is my most nested room. This is my favorite room. The sun spills in through a giant glass sliding door and I feel so safe and happy. In this shoot, rest assured I'm not only looking my best (ha!) but feeling my best. I hope the warmth of that golden light is palpable; I hope that happiness is palpable. I wanted to keep shooting indefinitely, and I kept feeling challenged to experiment more and push my comfort zone. It was quite a powerful and exhilarating feeling, 100% from within. And while the perfectionist in me could spend at least another week shooting this folio, I'm pretty content with the outcome. There was something new to discover in each shot, like seeing myself for the first time again and again and again."

Did you think Ripley would let us get away that easy!? Hell no! This history babe is back, babies, if only for a re-cap - or is that a night cap? Maybe a night-rant. But in the day. Well whatever it is, Ripley's gonna give it to you. So knock knock. Open up the door. It's real.

"Okay this shoot was a lot of fun as I've always wanted to do a nude shoot and I would love to do more. I worked on my own camera which had the disadvantage of being big, heavy and cumbersome. But something fun about it was figuring out how to get the shots I wanted. I took a lot of photos in my mirror as I have a small room and my window looks right out onto the street so I'm sure some people got some good looks (I hope). I would love to do a shoot outside when it's warm."

"It's been a while since I've done an ISM and a lot has changed, both inside and out. Feeling the pressures of age as a woman can often lead you into a negative mind set and I've been very adamant to not let that happen. Lately I've been practicing that little bit of self lovin' and I thought a post shower, wet hair, clean, moisturised bod is often one of my happy places. It's a ritualistic time that I use to mentally cleanse by physically doing so. I wanted to share that totally vulnerable moment. Bare my soul, bare my body and enjoy the fuck out of it. Peace out lovers! x"

"I shot myself at my home. It was too cold to be outside and I was a bit concerned about what the neighbors might have thought so I decided to take the photos in my room, living room and the space between the kitchen and the door outside. I had a wonderful time and loved having fun in the nude."

"This was the second time I've done an ISM project. Similarly to the first time, I felt more and more comfortable the more selfies I took. I ended up taking lots of extra shots because I was having so much fun with it. I shot this project at my friend's house who I am dog sitting for. The dog kept trying to get into the photos which made it a bit tricky! He was also trying to lick me in various places... My friend's house has large windows with beautiful natural lighting so I enjoyed taking photos in the different rooms. ISM is a great experience and I'm glad I have been able to participate twice now."

"I had chosen to shoot in the environment as nature is simply pure, beautiful, raw, dirty and perfectly imperfect. I felt it was the right place to shoot as my folio is about how when beings are in the nude we are just like a piece in nature; pure, beautiful, raw, dirty and perfectly imperfect too! Nature is such a sight and has no flaws, just like when beings express themselves in their naked skin. The shoot was very fun exploring, I got poked and prodded by plants, fell over lots and was very cold haha!"

"Ich habe dieses Fotoshooting am Pool gemacht. Das hat mega viel Spass gemacht. Ich hatte ernsthaft so einen tollen Tag! Ich habe das Gefuehl dass Wasser einen heilenden Effekt auf mich hat. Es gibt keinen Ort wo ich mich wohler, gluecklicher und selbstsicherer fuehle als im Wasser. Es war echt schwer die Fotos unter Wasserzu schiessen, aber ich glaube letztendlich habe ich ein paar schoene Fotos hinbekommen. Neben dem Pool waren wunderschoene Blumen, mit denen ich versucht habe meinen Koerper zu schmuecken. Generell war es eine wunderbare Erfahrung und ich wuerde es definitiv nochmal machen! / I did this photo shoot at the pool. That was a lot of fun. I really had such a great day! I have the feeling that water has a healing effect on me. There is no place where I feel better, happier and more confident than in the water. It was really hard to shoot the photos, but I think I finally managed to get some nice images. Next to the pool were beautiful flowers that I tried to decorate my body with. Generally it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely do it again!"

"This experience was an enriching expression of deep and inner self love. I wanted to bring in the elements of nature itself and I don't know if you can notice, but I did this whole experience with the rain falling on my skin and the wet foliage tickling my feet. During this opportunity, I allowed sexuality as a frequency to connect me further in touch with the essence of creation. Authentic universal love and sexuality for me, can be channeled through multiple means of expression, and I believe this is one of them! I feel filled to the brim with love from this opportunity, having such loving guidance from the whole team at ISM. I feel so happy to contribute to such a progressive and naturally wonderful project."

"The project was really interesting and I'm glad it exists. I remember doing my dissertation at uni on female photography, Annie Leibovitz being an inspiration. So I kept her work in mind a little while working on the project. I'm okay at taking selfies for myself, and definitely not nude. I was a bit awkward at the beginning but it got better and from looking at the photos of my body I was actually impressed with how my body looked. So yay!"

"In a way, this was the worst time to be doing a shoot - right in the middle of being run off my feet before going overseas, getting over being ill, and quite sleep deprived. So I was a bit worried about how it would go, but I ended up having lots of fun with it and felt just as energised and sexy as I would on a first date - so I think it turned out pretty well. Putting on your favourite perfume and sassy playlist certainly makes all the difference!"

"Hoewel dit tot voor kort niet iets was waarvan ik dacht dat ik het ooit zou doen, ben ik achteraf super blij het gedaan te hebben. Seks benaderen op een positieve manier gebeurt nog veel te weinig en dit soort projecten zijn een ware verademing. Er zelf aan meewerken, betekende uit mijn comfortzone treden, mezelf letterlijk blootgeven, remmingen loslaten. Het was een bevrijdende ervaring! / Although up until recently I'd never imagined myself doing such a thing, I'm really happy I went ahead and did it. Approaching sex in a positive manner is still a work in progress for so many people and these kinds of projects are sorely needed. Featuring in such a project meant getting out of my comfort zone, literally exposing myself, letting go of my inhibitions. It was liberating!"

"This video was so liberating to create, a big reason I wanted to take part in the video shoot as well as my previous photo shoot is that in the last couple of months my body confidence and self love has sky rocketed and I thought it would be a really cool experience to just do what I love most which is moving around, but in front of a camera. I've been dancing for over 15 years now so I love being able to pull inspiration from anything and everything..."

"This folio is definitely showing multiple parts of my personality - serious, jokey, extra, girly. I deleted quite a few photos as I went but towards the end I just embraced all of my 'imperfections' and I can see a confidence change coming through in those photos. I didn't get to go outside as much as I would have liked to so I had to play with different areas of my room. My roommate knocked on the door so many times!"
