New Releases

The wondrous darlingheart that we all know as Nicole_G graces our fair site again and unsurprisingly brings with her another infallible folio. Choosing to do her shoot among some fairly impressive trees and blossoms, you could easily be forgiven for not even noticing the opulent surroundings whilst in the presence of this demigoddess.

"Je suis Julliet, j'adore prendre des photos. Mon corps parle pour moi...pas besoin d'être parfait que juste pour me accepter comme je suis. Je suis heureux aussi! chercher à améliorer tous les jours à la recherche d'une meilleure santé juste pour avoir une longue vie. / I am Julliet, I love to take pictures. My body speaks for me...no need to be perfect, just accept me as I am. I am also pleased! I seek to improve every day, work towards better health to have a long life."

"Doing this shoot was a lot of fun because I got to see my body in a different way. It was very interesting for me to see what I look like, and also to see what my boyfriend usually sees! I had a few things to dress up in to help myself get creative and feel like a boss queen. How I feel on the inside always shows on the outside, so it is very important for me to be feeling my best to look my best. I kept this shoot very raw, in the sense that I did not prep for anything (no waxing, minimal makeup, no prior dieting, no research on poses, etc), I just had some music playing and did whatever I felt like! I am so happy with the way it turned out because everything came to me naturally and it shows exactly how I was feeling in that moment. Something fun for me to look back on in a few years :)"

"I heard about ISM from a photo I saw on the internet. It was a good experience. I had never taken pictures of my body before and I showed insanity, freedom of expression, and love to my body."

"With the opportunity to film from a bird's eye view in a beautifully lit room, I hoped to capture something unique."

"In typical Melbourne winter style, it was sunny but it was also very fresh. Being outside naked is something I seldom ever do so the aim of this shoot was to show off my naughty side. To have such a beautiful amount of nature in my own backyard and being naked, made me feel very at home and I felt it relating back to the basics of the natural human form. Inspired by the environment and colours, this shoot is about becoming more comfortable and in touch with my body and to learn to love my curves in a positive way. It's not often you get to be this free!"

"I've never really taken 'selfies' on my phone like most girls - let alone nude ones! This was a project for me to complete not only for my body confidence but also to dip my toe into an experience I've always wanted to try. It was actually a lot more challenging than I expected - now I see why girls take 1000 photos for just one selfie!"

"I never envisioned when I was younger that I would still be posing naked at age 50. But I will be. At 49 I am feeling the best I have ever felt. I feel I can be myself with less anxiety about being judged. I actually feel more attractive than I ever have, being young is over rated. Personally I've had so many hang ups. I thought I was ugly and was always worrying about what 'they' think of me. Because of this I used to hide behind drugs and alcohol which I have stopped doing and this has made me so much stronger as a person. I expect to be in even better shape by the time I am 50 and I'm really looking forward to that!"

"I decided to shoot myself in order to be part of a project that I believe is aimed at reducing the deeply ingrained stigma attached to women who are comfortable with their own sexuality. To contribute to empowering bodily autonomy of the female identifying form and take the power out of the hands of those who perpetuate sexist reproductions of woman identifying bodies which so often leads to violence against women in both visible and invisible attitudes."

"This folio captures three masturbation sessions or sexual encounters with myself, trying to capture seductiveness and pleasure that I experience on the discovery of my own bodily sensations. In the three moments I am in front of a mirror, engaged with my image as if it was the one of a lover. One of them is a striptease for myself. The space is my bed (with red and pink color sheets) and my favorite reading chair."

"Der Shoot hat mir sehr viel Spass gemacht und mein Freund Betty_R. Ich bin aus meiner Komforzone ausgetreten und habe mich offen der Welt presentiert, was sich befreien fande. Ich war an verscheiden wundervollen Plaetzen die mich noch mehr inspiriert haben. / The shoot was a lot of fun for me and my friend Betty_R. I have stepped out of my comfort zone and have been openly exposed to the world, which I found liberating. I was on different sides of the wonderful places that inspired me even more."

"As this was the second time I was doing a shoot for ISM I was worried that I was just going to repeat myself and all the photos would just end up being the same! I really wanted to change the location and go somewhere in a forest, but unfortunately I couldn't guarantee safe/non-interrupted access to anywhere, and didn't have anyone to stand guard for me - so I made do with a small apartment balcony with pot plants for friends! This meant I was kinda ducking under the level of the railing the whole time so as not to be spotted by people outside hahaha...creative angles and some risky dives ensued. If I get the opportunity again, I would love to explore the relationship between our bodies and nature with a forest shoot :)"

"In the freezing cold on a waterfall I stripped off. I took the grapefruit and made it rain. I took the pomegranate and made it ink. My body soaked up both of these very femme erotic pieces of nature. I reveled in the opportunity to be ugly, and dominant and silly all at once. I was feeling tired and not so fresh about my body that day but once the cold calmed down a bit and I twisted on the rocks it became something to be behold, once again."

"I saw this shoot as a challenge to make myself feel comfortable with my body in every different angle. NAKED. It was so funny to do this. At first I wanted to draw and put glitter all over my body to make it look more like art, but then I changed my mind and realized that my body without glitter and colours on it, is art by itself."

"This shoot was a whole lot of fun. I have a real passion for painting so I figured - Why don't I become the art? I love my body, I love my curves, I love being silly. This was a great opportunity to let go and feel free. I wrote "Love yourself" on my body to serve as a reminder that self love is most important, and I made a promise to myself that I was to love myself unconditionally for the rest of my life. I initially came into the ISM project with long hair, but postponed my shoot until I cut all of my hair off. I have never felt more feminine and empowered in my life. Feelin' free, feelin' sexy!"
