New Releases

This video is an erotica-lover's dream - having Anais Nin read to us over luxurious images of Momoko's flesh, stretching and moving in the late afternoon sun, a slow hand-held exploration of body as she experiments with her video camera. As Momoko leaves off her books for a final attempt at lawn-mowing, we're ready to abandon our screens too, and sneak off to a private place with our well-thumbed copy of Little Birds.

"I went to my friend's house to shoot and initially had all these great ideas about experimenting with light and shadows, but the weather was so crappy that I couldn't carry it out. Instead, I shot in her room while she was doing her uni homework in the corner. To start off with, I would only do topless shots cos I was feeling unusually shy, but then I was too restricted so I had to get fully undressed. It was really nerve wracking, but then once I got into the swing of things, I couldn't stop!"

Sometimes the most simple of props are all you need. On its own, a roll of red tape is nothing much - but in Euleilia's hands, as its sticky lengths peel tantalizingly off her skin, its power to restrain and liberate are exposed - and suddenly, that bit of tape becomes much more than an object.

"So I shot this folio in a few different areas of my house. Bedroom/Work Studio, and the area by my couch. All I could think of while shooting is that it's probably a good thing that I used to practice writing with my toes. I can't imagine how hard it must be to shoot with your toes and not be able to move them properly, haha! A few unexpected things did happen while I was shooting... I had two lights burn out while I was shooting and many of my pets tried to "photo bomb" my photos including my ferret and even one of the geckos."

"Alba invited me round for a spot of Sunday tea. I brought the teapot of course, as only the best English teapot will do, but it turned out we had quite some trouble keeping things proper. Etiquette was tossed aside, my stockings were utterly ruined and we made such a mess with dinner. Later, we went inside and played dress-up with shadow puppets." - Gretchin

"I was taking my dog for a walk on my parents' farm, and I was wondering what to do for my ISM shoot. He started playing in the mud, and it all kind of blew up from there. It was incredible - I mean, when was the last time you decided to let loose and play in the dirt? It was like revisiting my childhood in a way, enjoying that reckless abandon and getting properly dirty."

"Mon univers c'est la musique, le son... je n'avais pas grand chose a ma portee mais quelques vinyls et mon casque, quelques uns de mes tatouages m'ont permis de me mettre en confiance et sublimer ce shoot dans cette grande maison vide, une intimite s'est installee entre mon corps nu et ces objets, et je me suis totalement laisse aller. C'est la preuve que le corps d'une femme na pas besoin de beaucoup d'artifices pour etre mis en valeur!"

"Ar lan y more is Welsh for 'beside the sea'. I wanted my folio to be a true record of my body as a part of nature so I packed my tent and spent a day at the seaside with no make-up, no adornments, not even shaving body hair. I arrived at the beach before dawn. I think the pictures show how I felt, taking a break from city life and being myself, no more or less beautiful than any other creature."

Woah, Mylene - it seems like every time you come around, you step it up a notch, nudging us past the realm of what we thought possible within the boundaries of this project. This time, we thought, it's just too perfect - there's no way she's shooting in a mirror! But no - it's just you, your talent, and your impossibly, beautifully, outrageously squeaky clean mirror, as proven by phtoo 120, and a few barely visible smudges here and there. So impressive. Will your wonders never cease?

"For this shoot I found a nice little pond in a local park. I carried me a blanket to lay on the ground and it was perfect! I was so excited when I spotted the little spot as I was walking the trails! I could hear voices but not sure if anyone could see me. Such a rush not knowing if I was going to get caught or not! I was so happy in my own little world being naked outside I absolutely love it!!!"

"Mr. and Mrs. Donald, my neighbours, quite often like to watch what is going on in their neighbours' yards. Also my dog LuLu insisted on investigating what I was doing, so I suppose I didn't completely escape snoops. The dirt was quite prickly, and the branches wanted to be in a lot of the shots but this wasn't about them. One of the many bugs bit me on the shoulder. The fake blood, while it had a nice color, stained my skin badly and ended up congealing in a rather revolting way, but the stain is a reminded of the fun I had doing the pictures."

Anais Nin said she dressed up even to mow the lawn, wearing beautiful gowns and full make-up, because, "dressing well is a way to add beauty to your surroundings." It looks like Momoko is taking a page - or several - from Anais' book, except instead of dressing up, she's dressing right down. The result is the same - hilarious technical issues notwithstanding, Momoko's naked romp in her own garden certainly adds beauty to her surroundings - with a bonus added dose of happy eroticism.

"Fue algo diferente ya que en muchas de las fotos que me saque en el exterior la adrenalina que no me viesen vecinos fue mucha, las fotos las tome en un rio cercano a mi casa, en mi casa, en mi residencia, tomando las fotos en la azotea de la residencia creo que me vieron algunos vecinos, pero como mi pensar acerca de los desnudos es que es algo natural. / It was something different because in many of the photos I took outside, I had so much adrenaline when I thought about the neighbor's seeing me. I took the photos in a river near my house, in my house, in my residence. Taking the photos on the residence's roof was really exciting. I think some neighbors saw me, but my thinking about nudity is that it comes naturally."

"My favourite thing is boobs! To contribute my own beautiful body in a very confronting way was such a blessing, what a stunning sunny day I chose to shot, the sky was blue all day with white fluffy clouds which made me want to run around my backyard naked all day (which I did). I incorporated my favourite things like my feathers and crystals. The glitter was so messy and I still have it all through my hair a week later. Love yourself and you can overcome boundaries."

As fun as reading a newspaper can be - and we do enjoy a good Sunday sit - we're kind of in agreement with Scharlot that tearing one up when you've finished with just compounds the experience. Bonus points if you can send a saucy message to your fans with the pieces.
