New Releases

"The folio was shot on my parent's balcony at their house. I am just visiting with them in Melbourne for the week, so staying at their place... maybe not such good timing. I also have my auntie visiting who was home at the time whilst my parents were at work. In the shoot I start out in one of the dresses I have designed - luckily the weather was permitting as it is freezing here at the moment."

"I've been a big collector of beany babies for aaages now. They were really big in the 90's, so I stocked up on them during my childhood and nearly have the whole set now. What you got to see was only a handful of the amount that I actually have. They were really nice and warm on my bare skin after braving the constant on-and-off rainy weather we've been dealing with lately. I sure did get a good workout though, with all the running in and out of the house to avoid getting soaked!"

Alyssa_R's got mojo, that intangible something that just lights up the room, and our computer screens, with enthusiasm, joie de vivre, and okay - some impressively athletic moves, performed in some impressively high heels. That kind of energy could have a tendency to intimate the weaker-willed among us, but here at HQ we're just eating it up.

"When I was 18 I was slim, but I thought I was fat. Then university called me, and off I went for endless nights filled with vodka shots and pizza to mop up the hangovers. It took me a long time to notice how much weight I had actually gained. I only realised at the end of my second year that my stomach had gone from flat to wobbly with purple lines on it. I then spent the next year of my life crying about my new body while shoving more pizza in my mouth to make up for it. It was only after I left Univeristy that I made the effort to lose the weight. The stretch marks are still there, but I didn't care. Even though I know I don't have the skinniest body, I love it."

"Usually I pose with pizza for pictures (clothed or unclothed), so I tried to shake things up a bit in my tiny, sun-deprived Chinatown apartment with a bunch of fresh kale. Aside from ignoring my dad's skype call and hoping my flatmate didn't see bursts of bright flash while she made her morning coffee, all was good and well during the self-portrait session. Dark leafy greens, white sheets, and a mindset quite different from my conservative South Korean upbringing. I'm sure in another generation, my parents would be proud."

"Here, in the north of France, winter is coming. I'm really chilly and I spend my time wrapped in blankets. That's how the idea of this folio is coming, and with the spotlight, it wasn't too terrible! But my feet were frozen. I hope you will be more warmed than me!"

"I chose this private fairy garden as the setting for my photo shoot because I feel like this place has a really magical energy. I have never felt so free, frolicking around the forest, being a firey naked pixie. The earth and leaves beneath my feet was the best feeling!"

"The sun was out fresh in the morning when I was shooting, and the natural surroundings were so green. Finding the location was difficult as I slipped in the mud three times while on my quest for solitude and nakedness. I also gave a sneak peak preview from a boy who was running past to make it to the pipes near by."

"Se montrer sous toutes ses formes, sous differents angles. Les miroirs m'ont permis de montrer ce jeu de multi-faces. J'aime jouer avec les cadres, dans la vie comme en photographie. Cette semaine etait plutot froide mais cela m'a permit d'avoir mes tetons bien dresses ! Et la lumiere etait juste parfaite!"

"I began the day with a train ride out of the city towards the national park where I chose to do my shoot. Watching the buildings begin to fade away and nature emerge I began to feel excited. The weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, a crisp autumn morning. As I entered the forest the world seemed to glitter. Getting back on the train to return to the city I felt like I had a special secret, no body knew what I'd been up to today in the forest!"

"I shot this folio at a friend's house I am staying at. I had to wait for her to leave for work before I could begin. I decided to shoot with a surfboard and some of her sexy clothing. I was also pleased with the mirror I was using. It's got jagged edges and is an interesting shape, but I found it made my shots that much more artistic. I kept thinking she might return home early and catch me posing nude with her clothes and surfboard..."

"Ho voluto mettere nel mio progetto due delle mie piu' grandi passioni: i dolci ed il circo! Ho sempre assaporato dolci di ogni genere ma mai li ho sperimantati in un altro modo! Giocare con il loro colore, le loro forme e la loro consistenza e'stato sorprendentemente divertente! Faccio hula hoop da un bel po' di tempo ormai e trovare nuovi modi di connetterlo al mio corpo nudo e' stato fantastico, un nuovo modo di giocare armonicamnete con il mio gioco preferito! E' stato un'esperienza speciale! Mi sono sentita completamente a mio agio e libera in questo un ambiente giocoso e creativo!"

Oh look, Ale will do her morning exercises... the art of seduction is both incredibly complicated and, as Ale demonstrates, so very simple, for those who are innately gifted. It seems to me that every move Ale makes pushes seduction out around here, to bounce around the room and fill our minds with lust and admiration. A thing of art and beauty, the game of tease, a dance of pure fun, unhindered by convention, unconcerned with the polite.

"Die ganze Situation erinnerte mich an meine Kindheit mit meiner besten Freundin. Wir spielten hauptsaechlich drausen und im Sommer endeten wir oftmals im Graben und veranstalteten Schlammschlachten, komplet nackt natuerlich weil einem das als Kind als ganz naturlich und logisch erschien sich auszuziehen wenn man im Graben sass und voller Schlamm war."

"So I was just sitting in my apartment when saw this project and I have a wide collection of nude photos of myself anyway because I think nothing is more sensual and attractive than the naked female body, so I just went nuts one day and the lighting was really beautiful. I really like how I portrayed myself, I try not to take myself too seriously and I think that comes across whilst still allowing a peek at my more feminine, vulnerable side. I really like my breasts too."
