New Releases

Everyone's favourite #1 filthy animal (her words) returns to ISM with a shoot that again captures this long and lithe creature's flair for creativity and ease with natural settings. Some may feel slight trepidation upon entering a body of water as dubious looking as this but that's where Nazz differs from you or I; she looks at a situation and grabs it by the balls, never hesitating and never backing down. Effortless charisma and skills such as this are impossible to ignore, by then why would you even try!?

"I went away on a weekend alone-time-getaway to the beach. It was beautiful but so cold. I wanted to be by the ocean to do this shoot as I feel a special connection with water; it makes me feel calm, serene and powerful. The body is like the littoral, always shifting, changing and transforming. We must let go of preconceived idea of how our bodies should look. The important thing is how you feel and at that moment, I felt free and wonderful. The wind was blowing strongly and the sun's rays were piercing their way through the clouds. BEAUTIFUL! It was quite cold on the beach though...before removing all my clothes, I was wearing 4 jumpers and a beanie!! It was a ridiculous moment and I couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of the situation. As soon as I finished shooting and was heading back to my van, a big storm cloud flew in and it started pouring. The amount of water coming down was impressive! The rain did not stop until late afternoon. Good thing I had already photographed myself!"

"The intention for this project was to capture the Real Me without any hiding. Initially I wanted to hide the fact that I was menstruating, but I decided to include images of it to represent the naturalness of the moment. I wanted to represent myself in the "every day" of my life, I held the intention of honesty rather then sexiness, but I will let you be the judge on what is truly sexy or not. For me, sexiness is in confidence and honesty, and it was incredible to experience comfortability and authenticity in front of the camera. This project has inspired me to practice being raw so much more in my life."

"I originally started this shoot with the aim of representing myself differently to how I do in day-to-day life (hence the big use of pink - I'm not normally a big pink wearer!). This was to try and show that we are masters of our own identity and can appear to people as we want -HOWEVER - as the shoot progressed, I could see more and more of my goofy self in the photos. This made me realise that even if we can try and forge our own identities, there's always going to be a few essential characteristics that we're born with that will always be with us."

"Being outdoors is so important to me, I've grown up being outside constantly, so I didn't see why I'd try to shoot myself inside. I also enjoyed the vulnerability of it all, it was an adrenaline rush the entire time."

"The day I chose to do my shoot, I wasn't really feeling it. I crawled out of bed, make up from the night before smeared under my puffy eyes. So I had a long shower, taking in deep breaths of the thick steamy air to free my mind. I dried off, oiled up and walked out to the teepee in my backyard. I wanted the space to feel like the temple of an ancient Goddess because this is what I think all women deserve to feel like. I shed off my robe and turned my body from position to position as I watched in the mirror and on the camera screen. All my worries and cares stopped existing. As the shutters closed around my naked body I took the thrown as Queeeen! x"

"This video took place in Southern Wisconsin. This area is know as the Driftless because it was never glaciated. This is one of my favorite places in Wisconsin because of its lush landscape and large rolling hills. Lack of water is never a problem in this area because of its valleys full of fresh lakes and rivers. I truly believe this place holds real magic."

"This shoot was eye-opening to me in a sense that I realised that there is no need for me to conform to a certain beauty standard in order to look beautiful. I have been one of those girls that constantly sucked their belly in for photos, who took a thousand shots just to get one that I believed was good enough even though they were all good. With this shoot, I was able to feel completely comfortable with my naked body from any angle. I am happy and grateful that this project exists, not only for viewer's satisfaction but also for the artist's own confidence."

"My favourite shoot so far! Henna and I went searching for a location and found ourselves on the roof of a local cinema carpark. The sky was beautiful, the light was great, I was surrounded by apartment buildings with big tinted windows, and beneath us trains kept speeding by with curious passengers trying to catch a glimpse. So much fun. My fear of being busted kept me nice and warm, and outsmarting the security guard in the last five minutes left me feeling very powerful! I've got a nice collection of bruises from diving out of sight, mind you. We love ISM!"

"This shoot was such a fun time! I live in Melbourne with 7 other housemates, so it got pretty interesting running around the house in the nuddy trying to take photos of myself! My boyfriend and I moved into the backyard soon after arriving in Victoria after driving across the Nullarbor Plain from the beach side suburbs of Perth, WA, and built our first greenhouse. I love sitting in there with a joint and a good book, and I'd figure the places where I was most comfortable are the places where I'd get the best results. I loved being in full control of the shoot, and after the first few awkward snaps, everything really started flowing naturally and I felt really relaxed. I hope you love my portfolio as much as I do."

"The reason behind me doing the shoot was that for a long time now, I have been seeking more happiness and confidence out of my life. I have felt for a while that the likes of instagram, facebook and magazines have really affected the younger generation's confidence as they all give the illusion that you have to have the perfect figure, the perfect contoured face, a teeny waist and a female body-builder's bum. Who are we really trying to impress? A fake world behind a screen! I came here to become my true self, be healthy and happy in who I am, so when I spoke to the people behind ISM and got an idea of the meaning behind this it really stuck out to me, as I have been hoping to find women that are like-minded and appreciate REAL people. At the end of the day we all live to be loved and I guarantee you whether you are in a relationship or searching, or happy being single, there will always be just one person that loves your imperfections - whether it be your Mum, your dog, boyfriend, girlfriend, there is always one. There is too much criticism now towards women in regards to what the media has portrayed us to look like and this site is perfect for making real women feel good about themselves and it gives me a chance to also contribute to people feeling good about themselves. Lots of love ladies :) X"

"After such a fun and exciting shoot last time, I was eager to take more pictures. This time was far more opportunistic, I had the camera with me at my friend's house and I snapped a few in her garden. Her bathroom has a floor to ceiling window which lets in beautiful, natural light. I love being naked outdoors but even taking the pictures in my bedroom feels completely liberating."

"I spent a beautiful weekend wandering around the house naked and slowly taking photos. My dogs continuously barged in to attack me with licks, especially when I was lying down. Trying to take photos with a straight face when my boxer cross American bulldog was staring down at me just out of the frame was a challenge, as was avoiding squinting my eyes in the summer sun. All in all it was incredibly rewarding and fun. This was such a fun project and I would recommend it to everyone."

"I did my third shoot for ISM mostly because I was so inspired by my surroundings. My beautiful room in my beautiful warehouse is so light filled and I've got flowers and plants scattered through the room. I wanted to show the connection I feel to my surroundings and the happiness I feel in my body at the moment. I had just come back from a run, when I'm happiest, so you can see in the early photos I am still hot and a bit uncomfortable, slowly becoming more natural and at ease in my body again. My hair is tangly and my body feels beautiful. This was my favourite shoot so far - it felt like the easiest manifestation of me and where I feel most comfortable."

"I chose to complete this shoot in my backyard for the main part, where most of my back fences are completely covered in wild vines, I also gathered pot plants and flowers to incorporate because I wanted the shoot to look very natural, because I feel like being naked is a completely natural thing."
