New Releases

"I wanted to show a few small snippets of who I am and what I like, a little bit of lingerie, a little bit of play and and whole lot of me being cheeky. I honestly had so much fun making this folio (even if I did run into a few close calls of the housemates walking in on me, haha). One housemate was supposed to be away for a day or so and the other (my partner's mother) was running around the house like a mad woman cleaning up for guests! Avoiding them was entertaining as they were out in the garden heaps so I had to bring a towel or long shirt with me everywhere I went, just in case. Over all it was a great experience and I'm thrilled that I had the guts to do something new and fun!"

"I never realised naked felt so good. Usually the only time I am naked is when I'm having sex. I sexualised my body quite often and put myself in this category of self consciousness, being drowned in it. It's such an easy thing for people to express negative things such as "I'm tired, or "I look bad in these pants" but it's even harder to say over confident things such as "damn I look good today", you don't hear that as much. I find that people are able to relate to negative things more then positive self talk. We are brainwashed to feel bad about ourselves so we buy into things we need or think we need to improve ourselves. We live in a society that sells sex. This photo shoot was incredible for me because although I had my insecurities, I did not let it control my thoughts and actions. I took my first photo and zoomed up on my boobs, insecure about them. I then zoomed out of the photo and just looked at myself as a whole. I was so happy and I looked so beautiful and so natural. I saw myself for who I really was and not just a pair of boobs but as a whole. I was able to experience myself for as I am not as I thought I was. Very powerful."

"My friend Sondrine and I cut up some rose bushes. I thought the stalks and thorns were beautiful and was inspired to create a 'dangerous romance' themed shoot. I've always had a bit of a thing for vampires and magic. Their romantic alluring charm and glistening sense of danger. I became the vampire in this shoot."

"I tried to record all the different things I did in the shoot, to get a bit of variety. Most importantly, instead of just talking about myself, I wanted to actually show you, so you would have a better idea of who I am."

"I had a real good experience. At first I tried to shoot myself in a public park but every time I took off my clothes someone was not far away. So I did it in a friend's apartment and even there on the balcony it was hard to take when people are not around so finally it didn't even matter if people saw that I did it. And now I'm less shy than before. / J'ai vraiment eu une bonne experience. Au debut j'ai essaye de faire le shooting en parc publique mais a chaque fois que j'enlevais mes vetement quelqu'un passait par la. Du coup j'ai etait le faire dans l'appartement d'une amie mais meme la sur le balcon des gens passaient et pouvait me voir. Donc a la fin je n'en avait plus rien a faire. Je suis moin timide evers mon corp maintenant."

"I did this shoot as the sun came in through my window. I was feeling very delicate but as I began to take more photos I started to feel more empowered and confident. I lay a soft blanket around me and used some greenery I found in my room, enjoying the feeling of both the sun and fabrics on my body. I had a lot of fun doing this shoot and really enjoy the way the colours of the sky made my skin look, it was the perfect way to start my day."

"I love what the team at ISM do. I had such an amazing experience taking my own photos, and I now feel so much more comfortable in my skin. I would like to thank ISM so much! I found this sort of shoot to be fun, unique, different and a great way to step out of the normal world for a bit. I hope more people take the opportunity to jump on board with such a fantastic team. Thank you once again! ;P"

"I love the idea of the urban meeting the natural; the structural clashing with the organic. For this shoot I wanted to juxtapose a harsh, cool, urban setting with my own soft body and the mess of curly hair I have sprouting. I found the perfect place - it was this bizarre mezzanine roof over a parking lot which seemed to be held up entirely with chains? Having some pole dancing experience gave me even more options. I managed to snap some interesting acrobatics with the chains and they seemed secure, but not gonna lie, I felt like I took my life in to my own hands that day. I was ready with makeup, the mirror, the tripod and the camera. All I need now is to take off my clothes but OH FUCK I HAVE MY PERIOD. I don't have time to choose a different day, or even go home and get tampons. It'll be so messy and I'll get blood everywh- hang on. Actually, that would be kinda cool. Fuck it, I thought, the theme of this shoot will be "Red meets blue - naked lady doing unorthodox things with her own blood in a cool urban setting." The result is this photo set and I am really, really proud of it. If you ever find vampire erotica hanging around online which seems familiar, you know who wrote it. Watch this space."

"I had so much fun shooting myself. I've never been big on taking selfies so this was different for me. I found that I became more and more confident the more photos I took, which was interesting because I'm not insecure about my body but I also never take the time to appreciate it. I think that's why this project is so powerful, you have to set time aside to be naked and completely love yourself."

Three years after she first came into our lives and promptly stole our hearts, Madison_M returns with a gorgeous rainy day reload. The irrefutable beauty and ease she possesses is wonderfully evident in this shoot as she luxuriates inside her cosy abode and proceeds to abscond with our beaty chest blood-pumpers all over again and to try and resist is foolish and futile. Luckily for us though we all know better than to attempt such a thing.

"Equally the most liberating and anxiety-inducing experience of my life. I enjoyed myself immensely and was challenged in a way I'd never been before. And I'm sure my neighbours enjoyed it too since they could probably see me through the window :)"

"Ruin Porn...or porn in the ruins? After leaving my hometown of Detroit I came back over two summers (2015 & 2016) and shot myself in various locations. It shows where I've been and where I'm going. A gritty beauty, a phoenix rising from the ashes, my soft skin juxtaposed on hard rusted metal, shadows and reflections adorning my body..."

"At one point I tried crouching over the cactus. Aside from that, the shoot was trouble free. Working in this way does make you appreciate working within set limitations and in that sense having to think differently to make the best of them. Also, it's fun skipping naked between locations."

"Mi sono divertita molto a scattare le foto e a riguardarle. Fino all'anno scorso non avrei mai pensato che avrei potuto partecipare ad un progetto come quello di ISM. L'ho consigliato alle mie amiche e di sicuro lo rifarei! / I had a lot of fun taking pictures and looking at them. Until last year I never thought I could have participated in a project such as ISM. I advised the project to my friends and I would certainly do it again!"

"At first I found it fairly hard to video myself - I felt a bit awkward and didn't really know what to say. However after I started the actual shoot it felt much more natural and normal to have the recorder there..."
