New Releases

"This project has been a huge exploration and celebration of my self sexually and physically. I have been in sexual trauma recovery for the past 4 years - liberated from a state of amnesia which contained me for more than 20 years. My sexuality, My body, My mind, My Heart was not going to be impaired by the confused actions of other people. Taking ownership of my body and my journey has not been easy. Opportunities like this and to be a part of this movement for liberated sexuality is truly profound. HELLS YEAH!! So much appreciation for what these women are doing!! I LOVE YOU!"

"I shoot myself, for the new experience. I'm not scared about my images, I really enjoy and liked to do that, it was fantastic and put me exactly as I am. Be yourself in front of the camera. It's a real experience and all women are beautiful and enjoy the fantasy / Jai fais ce shooting dejas pour la nouvelle experience je nai pas peur del image que je degage, jai vraiment apprecie et aimer faire ceci, c'etais fantastique cela ma exiter etre sois meme en face de la camera c est une vrai experience."

"When I was preparing for the shoot I had all these ideas of how to take pictures of my body. I wanted to do it in a place that I love and had good memories at. The beach. The closest I could be to nude with it being socially acceptable and without judgement. So I decided to go to a nudist beach (entirely because I wasn't sure if I'd be charged for being naked at a public non-nudist beach). My theme was supposed to be of me getting more comfortable with being nude at the beach, and slowly making my way into the water and onto the sand and caring less about my makeup and facial features and to just see me in the raw. Unfortunately my experience at the beach was cut short because I actually caught someone spying on me! Other people came to that beach and were looking at me, but I didn't really mind. As soon and I yelled out to the creep he went back up to the car park sheepishly. I am not just something to look at, I am a person and have many more characteristics than just my physical ones. I guess he is just proof of how fucked up and desperate society is to see things that aren't usually exposed and somehow making them sexual due to that. And this leads to all sorts of faults in life in general if society thinks this way. Having this experience has made me understand this."

"It has been very fun here at the beautiful beach. It's fun to be naked on the beach because people can see, but I'm okay with that. I'm from Sweden so I don't think it's so cold."

"Like any afternoon I set my table and my watercolors, I prepared myself to paint but things went a different way...I was feeling particularly horny that day and even though "selfies" are not really my forte I decided to have fun trying to capture the moment."

"The first thought I had when I snapped my first shot was "what am I doing, no one wants to see my rolls". I kept snapping from every angle I could think of and going back through and finding photos that made me look good, bad, alien-like and some that were just ridiculously funny. I found I enjoyed looking at my body more when it was the bizarre illusions photos. I am glad I had the opportunity to shoot myself and have my only photo shoot where I was my harshest critic and coming to the realisation that my skin is beautiful."

"It was such a hot day. So hot in fact that I had to get dressed just to take my clothes back off for the camera. It was so fun, dressing myself up and grooming my hair (for the first time in weeks might I add) I felt a bit like a gypsy gone angel or something. Nonetheless I felt gorgeous even through the sweat bullets and my trickling armpit hair. I struggled at first, trying to find the right lighting and frame. What to do with my face muscles?! My goodness! Although the more I persisted the easier it became, embracing myself and my surroundings. I must admit I was enjoying every minute of twisting and turning in the garden bed, with bark sticking to me from all angles; I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I'm not sure how it works but somehow looking back at myself on the camera I gained a lot of confidence, seeing beauty in myself I'd not seen before. Come to the end of the shoot I barely wanted to take my finger off the trigger. What can I say, I just love shooting myself!"

"This was quite the experience! I felt free taking these photos, I felt vibrant. I saw this beautiful lemon tree at a friend's home I was visiting and I had to capture what I was feeling. Eventually it just felt like clothes were clashing with how immersed in nature I wanted to be. I felt free, silly, and occasionally if I could capture the face to match; SEXY."

"I shot this in a huge woodland park not far from where I live. My friend Sarah came along to shoot the video for me and we saw a bunch of kangaroos but couldn't get very close because they're so shy! It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon and I absolutely loved running around completely naked for like 2 hours :) I really love ISM, I could do this every day for the rest of my life."

"I used my bedroom for this shoot as it is the place I feel most comfortable. My window was a great source of light, which made for some really good shots. I had just had a shower and decided not to wait for my hair to dry before shooting, for it made me feel fresh and clean. I felt so comfortable and sexy in my own skin, seeing how beautiful some of the shots were coming out. I was having so much fun dancing around, taking snaps."

After a (much too long) hiatus that Golden Goddess known as Annalice returns to ISM with another stunning folio. Everything from her creamy skin to the peachy pink in her dress, there is something undeniably beguiling about Annalice that won over so many of us last time she was here. Today she cranks up the beautiful to 1000 and proceeds to destroy our hearts all over again and we are perfectly okay with that.

"I'm not one to work in natural light. Between my everyday visual art and my everyday sleep schedule, I'm definitely more of a nightcrawler. I'm comfortable being nude but not comfortable creating outside of the creative means I'm used to. So that's sorta how I went into this - ready to do my best with tools that I'm not the most comfortable with. Ready to destroy some comfort zones. Ready to really trust my intuition. It was hard as hell initially but I found that the less I stressed and the more I just appreciated the process and my own flesh, the more that I came to find my own self through these images. I got lost in the experience, really. When I finally decided to wrap it up I realized that much longer than the measly 20 minutes I'd expected had passed. I learned a lot of little beautiful things through this experience and through myself. It was a wonderful chance at some outer, and introspection. Dual in nature as my images and self, all making one beautiful body."

"Unflinching and open I tried to show through my photos a sense of home and comfort in skin. I deliberately chose not to make a lot of the photos sexy or flattering in an attempt to deconstruct the idea of a woman's body as a sexual object. To show that vulva, breasts and butt are not necessarily sexual in themselves, they are just skin after all. I chose to shoot in my garden and in my home, with some of my favourite objects that remind me of the comforts of home, food, records, the sound of my housemate's guitar, tea and books. Some of the photos are cheeky and playful, warm and affectionate to reinforce the idea of finding comfort and home in nudity, that you can relax, that you can be silly and familiar in your own skin."

"When I was shooting myself, I had a little trouble at first with the window situation in my apartment as there are windows along the whole wall and I live on the first floor. So there were people walking by and I would duck and hide! Then I just started thinking, "WHO GIVES A FUCK IF THESE PEOPLE SEE ME, I HOPE THEY DO!" I've never been shy with nudity but just the thought of getting "caught" was a little weird. But who really cares? I love my body and showcasing it in the window of my flat to my neighbours was a nice little rush for me. This was a reminder for me to stay bold, fearless and proud! Every day, not just the days I am in front of a camera."

"This shoot was tricky given the Melbourne winter weather. I'm from a national park and so wish I could have shot myself outdoors, but alas that wasn't possible which meant I was forced to get creative in other ways. It was kind of nice just being really honest with my body. I didn't put make up on or try to act like anyone else, or even be particularly sexy or beautiful. I just wanted to be honest. I used to love drawing on myself in the bath in summer with water colour pencils so I brought some of those into the shoot. I also do a bunch of alternative health and bdsm practices so I thought getting some cupping bruises would be fun. It was tricky holding the camera and cupping myself but I managed a few!"
